My opinion is that the mainstream press lost all its credibility by abusing
the trust we put in it so now they're lamenting that no one believes them.

Just let me give one glaring example with Syria : western powers are funding
and training terrorists which the press still call "moderate rebels".

There's not a single journalist that had the courage* to denounce this
situation.

* I'm not talking about Apple "courage" admittedly, this is --loose your job-- courage

Not sure I agree that the internet is loosening our grip on the truth. It's
simply highlighting the fact that most people never had a grasp on it in the
first place...
