> The trust in old media is at an all time low

You can't pick-and-choose the free media to your liking. You either get all of them, or none.

Why do you think I'm pick-and-choosing anything. Old media with their kingmaker mindsets is just as free, alive and well as before to spew their BS opinions as news. But like never before, every individual has access to huge amount of social-proofed realtime information and communication – thanks to cheap smartphones armed with cheapest 4G data plans in their hands. This has led to everyone with a brain experiencing the gel-mann amnesia effect stronger than ever. And so, the trust in old media has dropped like a rock to the bottom of the ocean.
