It's not about superior intellect, it's about incentive structures

Looking at how the incentive structures are laid out, it's clear there's no incentive to be honest to normal people. They need the advertising dollars to exist, and we are suppose to trust big pharma's enormous advertising budget doesn't impact the business decisions at media companies? That's just big pharma, who else is playing the game?

There's no medical test to diagnose depression, all you can do is observe behavior and talk about it

Seeing bad behavior and lies over and over, decade after decade erodes trust and reveals the kind of people they are, if it was some radical group with no real power there would be less concern, but they have a tremendous amount of money and influence

Equally bad incentives apply to smaller ("alternative") media outlets right wingers consume.

Fox News is by a huge margin the most popular news outlet. Throw in the New York Post (huge presence on the internet) and the WSJ, and conservative media is the mainstream media at this point.

They also shilled for Trump relentlessly, without pretense. But that's beside the point. The left should accept that they no longer represent the aspirations and priorities of the mainstream or even of ethnic minorities, and the right should stop with the underdog charade. They've swapped sides. Of course, neither side will make that admission anytime soon.

Mainstream media is Joe Rogan and whoever else your favorite comedian, business leader, scientist, or political analyst is

That is not mass media. Mass media is what your parents listen to

The "left" (whatever this means today) sold out the working class. It is plain and simple

Most right winners are listening to podcasts at this point, I don't think Joe Rogan's incentives are as equally bad when comparing to an industry that manufactured the opium epidemic or ones that constantly lie

I don't think you're understanding the premise, the media is biased against trump and has no credibility

Articles like these are predictable and a meme

The bias doesn't come out that way, endorsements are meaningless anyways

The bias is calling him an agent of russia, a fascist, a dictator, a nazi, and a threat to democracy for 8 years

It's calling him crazy about Hydroxychloroquine and then 6 months later saying the same thing

The bias is blatantly miss quoting him with what he said about Liz Cheney

The bias is only fact checking one candidate in a debate

The bias is associating a trump rally where Israeli flags were flying in MSG with a nazi rally in the 30s

The bias is suggesting that we are suppose to think he wants to put his daughter in a gas chamber who converted to judaism

Then there's the work of Robert Epstein: https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Epstein%20Tes...

So who is saying you're supposed to think that, actually?
