> The entire main stream media has lost all credibility.

This is such baloney. Yes, the main stream media does have certain biases that may swing what they choose to report on, and how they choose to report it.

But fundamentally the main stream media still cares about fact and truth. When confronted with evidence the story was falsified, the NYTimes convened an investigation, issued a retraction, returned the Peabody, and reassigned the reporter. You may argue "too little, too late", but they addressed their mistake.

Compare that with much of the "alternative" media, that when presented with clear evidence of fraud or lies, usually just doubles down and screams those lies on repeat.
