There's this sentiment that all journalism cannot be trusted. But if so, how does anyone ever get to find out anything at all? Word of mouth? Gut feeling? Distrust of journalism is reasonable, but not good enough. There are specific reasons why misinformation exists and you need to know WHY that is so. Because otherwise you discount information which is true, and the end result is the same as you'd get with blind trust: A false understanding of the world.

Everyone has a false understanding of the world to an extent. All you can do is have good intuation about who to trust
