I think while what you said is true, trust is only half of the story.

People choosing to believe whatever that fits their worldview. And they have their own bias in choosing to view those information. Their bias were formed from years if not decades of their experience and observation with real world.

Even if we have a magic wand to restore everything to the old days. These people's world view wouldn't have changed.

Modern Day Media amplifies and solidify those world view. Creating an even more polarising society than ever before.
