Are you seriously implying that "trust in media" had even been a good idea? Come on, in the modern world you cannot even trust a priest, why would one advocate trusting in propaganda factories main purpose of which is to exploit that trust?

I don't think the post above was implying that it was a good idea, but merely acknowledging that the cultural shift is occurring.

In my opinion, I'm conflicted about whether or not it's good. If our political system didn't use a FPTP voting system(and thus allowed for a multiparty system) then this cultural shift would be good because a middle-ground between the two parties would likely be found. But because we have a two party system, I believe this might just strengthen the divide between the political parties.
