Democracy is in trouble when people lose faith in the media and independent journalism is suppressed.

Democracy is in trouble. Many people have lost faith in the media. Independent journalism is suppressed. (Though not completely in all the above counts.)

You may be right, but if so, that is quite a self-defeating and unproductive stance to take. If I accidentally start a fire on my stove, I don't say "screw it" and let my whole house burn down. I pull out a fire extinguisher and try to put it out.

By the same token, you don't set a fire to your stove and say, "Nope, everything's fine!"
