The situation of public trust is actually worse than what you described.
If you follow the annual Edelman Trust Survey which covers all of the world
- trust in the media has been tanking for years and most of the public now dis-trust the media
- trust in national governments too has been following the same pattern
- business, which had been trusted more than the media and the national governments, is also now seeing trust levels tanking
The warning lights from that data should be clear: the governing institutions of the west have abused the public and they are basically now illegitimate ruling powers.
If you have live in a third world country before then you know what act follows next in the above script….
I would predict there will be blatant military governments in the west before long. Just like Ukraine.
Also VOA is absolutely not mainstream media. It’s literally a CIA mouthpiece.
And all those independent media you listed have in the past 8 years (at least those that existed back then) been shadow banned by google and blacklisted in the commercial media, for refusing to peddle the blatant lies and false narratives about “foreign interference” in the US election, and for pointing out that the Dems rigged their own primary “election” to ensure Hillary Clinton was enforced as presidential candidate.
The Dens don’t learn and this year again forced in an unpopular, plastic, presidential candidate who has no national or natural constituency among the people.
They will again lose the election because of this rigging - and will again falsely claim it was foreign interference.
