I am not rejecting reality, this is reality.
What trust? What entity hasn't violated the trust of their constituents on a regular basis?
So you don't need "fundamental knowledge of the journalistic process" to call BS on orbital mechanics but I need to when auditing report on my expert subject matter? You've never seen blanket inaccuracies across a web of sources about a topic you understand that could have been held off by the smallest modicum of research? Because I sure as shit have, many times. That's why I don't trust them. Is there any reason I should I take them at their word when it's a much more complex topic that I don't fully understand?
You haven't watched independent news sources that collect all of the information die off while publications that constantly publish clickbait, ragebait, and political misinformation and disinformation thrive?
Yeah, the personal insults are really driving your point home, keep it up.
