Trust in all forms of media [1], and institutions [2], is at an all time low. I'm not sure why that distrust would go away, with reading the output from a company that's clearly censuring/fudging that output.

I think any "damaging" trust would, clearly, be a transitory phenomenon, since the distrust in media and institutions is from an ability to see BS. I don't think some sentences on a screen will be as destructive as some think, because people don't appear to be as stupid as some believe.

The damage to media is not from some newfound ability to see bs, but from a relentless and constant attack on its credibility from the fascists.
