Well, if you look into Independent journalists you would know that many started in legacy media.
You may also find a pattern ,in some, if you do your own research into why they are independent.
I’ll give you a hint, one of the reasons is why so many have lost thier trust in legacy media…
Here is a vid where you can start your research: https://lemmy.world/post/15896244
“if you do your own research”
Yeah so the second someone tells me to do that I know they don’t have the ability to do that for themself in a way that will lead them to credible conclusions.
“lost their trust in legacy media” doesn’t mean they were good at reporting facts and might in fact be because they were bad at being intelligent enough to make the difference between facts and their own opinion and therefore stopped trusting their employer who was shutting down their conspiracy bullshit.

That is your right, if you want to brush off any slogan, so as to stop yourself from looking into it a bit more.
shutting down their conspiracy bullshit.
Sadly, many say this as a way to deepen their trust in the status quo, we must continue to learn and talk to people that do not think like us or agree with our way of seeing the world.
If you look into US wars and leaks, you would find the ‘conspiracy bullshit’ was indeed more correct than the US military propaganda pushed at the working class.
Events and a more resent one where information by independent journalists were labeled as ‘conspiracy bullshit’ at one time;
- 911, WMD scandal
- Hamas mass rape scandal
and much more…
9/11, WMD scandal
So, Republicans use Intel services to facilitate a lie to start a war in Iraq, mainstream media is to blame for not questioning them.
But you’re posting about how we can’t trust mainstream media when they call out the lies of a proven liar?
You can’t just look at news, and conclude that it is all lies. You need to approach with some nuance and intelligence.
