How old were you when you realized journalists are scum? I was 15. A national news organization did a report about my home town. when it went on the air it was a deceptive piece full of misrepresentations. the next day our high school principal did an announcement about how you need to have a critical eye regarding the media. Since then I have had many more experiences where I knew something about a journalism topic and knew it was false. It seems to be the norm and not the exception.
@Moon I was 14. A Czech YouTuber got drunk, stole his dad's car, got into a high speed chase and crashed and died. The biggest news station blamed it on video games, because he played a lot of Mafia.
