A very large majority of very active posters on Getbig believe that the media carries no weight and that the media most people in the world consider a good source of information is just 'fake news' which is a phase they learned from liar Trump, their hero. So yes, it is exactly why we are in the shape we're in today. Remember these are the same folks who believe QAnon is real and that Tump is facing down a shadowy cabal of Democratic pedophiles. I you disagree with these misguided people, it means you also are a pedophile or worse.
This has nothing to do with party lines.
I'm a registered Independent who is more libertarian than supportive of either shit party. You can look up 2 year old posts where I've stated a dishonest media and big tech content manipulation are our greatest threats.
But you'd have to be a fool to trust the media without doing any kind of research.
They've shown time and time again they are biased at best, outright propaganda machines for their party at worst.
Do you really need any more evidence?
