First, I don't trust much.

I want to. It is hard to get informed in this mess.

Bias is OK. Frankly, as long as a source is honest about their bias, I trust them more!

Making objective material on a cable news cycle can't happen. It takes a lot of us, time, real effort to do that. Clarity matters because the facts can be had apart from a sources take. And I want that, a few actually, then weigh it all when I can. I can't always.

Clarity helps me trust more.

Right now, I have little trust with the big players. Indies are good, but spotty.

Here is an interesting dynamic:

Foreign media can do things domestic can't. Different advertising, or is State funded, or BBC style, CBC. And they don't worry about access so much. I trust that as a check and balance against what I see as a media monoculture here domestically.

Disclosure! If people do that? I want to trust. Will try. Because that matters, and speaks to their conflicts of interest. That is a big help with trust, when to trust, on what.
