I always chuckle when someone in social media, or even in the actual media, quips about how the public has lost confidence in news media. With the advent of social media taking over, news became secondary to the public’s domain and reasoning. The study also found that similar proportions of Republicans (21%) and Democrats (22%) regularly get news from social media influencers. It was no longer a mistrust of the media, but perhaps the mistrust by the media of us. We have created a media in our own image of what we feel is the truth and what we want to believe, the "Media Extravaganza."
