See the forest for the trees. It's realistic to think people in power have a larger agenda in mind for themselves, but even while being "controlled" or edited by people above them, usually the individuals seem to be trying. Trust should be earned, but everyone should remember to give chances of trust.
Some thoughts not necessarily related to your post but made me think about, but It is weird when words like "media" or "governement" tossed around as thought it is just one person or entity, I feel people forget even when swayed by thoughts from above them, we all have choice and as individuals we should all try and keep seeking out truths.
