Will Democracy Survive Big Data and Artificial Intelligence?

Legacy media was biased against Trump before the election and they still are. They've done nothing but try to take him down. It's to the point that anybody who doesn't already hate Trump tunes them out. God forbid Trump actually does something bad, it will be the boy who cried wolf.

Uhm, is this a joke?

How about having an anti-Semite for a chief strategist[0]? Or selecting a woefully unqualified campaign donor to to lead the Department of Education[1]? How are you feeling about transgender rights[2]? (And let's not pretend this is just about bathrooms -- if you can't use the bathroom in public, you can't go out in public.) Maybe you care about sexual assault[3]?

What source of information should be provided to a person who has written to the effect that they distrust the media?

I'm not writing that to be funny, it's a serious issue. Also applies to climate change deniers who refuse satellite data and moon landing deniers who deny everything from NASA… not that I wish to imply any overlap.
