Not distrust, just ignoring.
The stories they deal with are very often covered better in the sharper edge, INFORMED media.
Mainstreamers don't lie, they just cover to a abysmal degree of non-detail so's they never threaten their advertisers and so's the viewers are never be challenged to actually think about the reality and maybe have to learn something new. Oh, and the key seems to be a pretty/handsome face, too.
On one hand, mainstream cheerleader mentality with colouring book journalism, on the other, professionals with actual insight. As was pointed out decades ago, 'journalists' and 'reporters' are now the product of privileged backgrounds and boutique degree-granting institutions, more worried about their BMW payments and overpriced mortgages.
NYT have shown too many shoddy, agenda-driven editors who don't seem to have any reason for their paper existing, the WaPost has inside stories but too much otherwise fluff and brain-dead 'opposing points of view columns/opeds'. I'll stick to sharp and focused sources like The Economist, Science, and online sources that I have vetted over a trial period.
