At least from what I've seen, there's an absolutely massive number of people who will answer they have little or no confidence in the news if asked a direct question, but then they go and believe everything on the news anyway. Basically the Gell-Mann Amnesia.
its so odd isnt it. I can talk to leftists, normies, neo-libs, and neo-cons and predict with extremely high confidence, near 100%, their stances on news topics the media reports on. Its sad how predictable they are.
The fact that the news does not talk about extreme leftist topics like Antifa, certain anti-establishmentism, pro communism, definitely factors into play. The news knows how to cater to normies ± whatever, to think for them on those topics and knows which topics to exclude as leftist extremist.
