This is exactly my experience. I've been a critic of corporate media outlets for 15 years but always assumed one could get basic facts (even if flawed) by reading them.

I now no longer think this. Their journalistic and business model makes me distrust everything I read there.

I've worked in mainstream media for a decade. I used to see NYT/WaPo/network stories and generally assume they were basically true, even if the outlets made mistakes from time to time (we're all human).

Now I think, "What kind of bullshit are these ideologues pulling on me now?"
