One of many typical lies one reads on Saidit and one reason for its bad reputation.
If anyone wants to have a sensible discussion of news media, check actual polls and be fucking specific:
For example: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/10/27/u-s-adults-under-30-now-trust-information-from-social-media-almost-as-much-as-from-national-news-outlets/
U.S. adults under 30 now trust information from social media almost as much as from national news outlets
That's terrifying.
Whereas, 65% of US adults tend to trust national news media and 71% tend to trust local news media.
One of the factors bringing down these averages is the 42% of Repuglicans brainwashed by Trump & Fox into believing that national news media is "fake news", unless it's repeating Fox "News" and other disinformation propagandists. We know that Trump lied 50,000 times in 4 years, and that he repeated lies he heard on Fox News, which is constantly called out for its lies. Most recently, Fox helped Trump lie about the election: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/02/fox-news-dominion-lawsuit-trump/673132/
As for local news, the largest ownership of local stations is supposedly Sinclair Broadcast Group, which we know should not be trusted.
