I just find it interesting that Trump keeps tweeting about the fake mainstream media, but surely in a democracy the main stream is the important thing? Majority rules, and all that.
Interestingly, the mainstream news organisations are not even the majority. If you look at the ratings they are absolutely bottom feeding. I can't really see how they will continue to survive when the baby boomers die out. Younger people just aren't watching them, mainly because we don't trust them.
This is a big worry I have. Who do you believe? Because it's not them, they're full of sh*t. You honestly just have to do your own research and determine your own opinions these days, you can't believe a word they say.
Once upon a time you watched the news and were informed, now I watch it and think hmmmm I'll need to go look that up, is that really true?
A good example that went quite viral was when CNN literally claimed on air that downloading the Podesta emails from Wikileaks was a violation of law, that only the media could legally do so, and that we should just watch CNN, because they are the only ones who can legally tell us what was in them.
