You have good reason to be doubting the media, its almost blatantly obvious at this point that were being lied too most of the time, and things are over dramatized for the public to fear and obsess over. Tbh people spend hours every day watching the news for no reason other than waste our could be productive lives, to hear the lies the media spews and get absolved in them. I'm no conspiracy theorist but I know when im being lied too, and some of this crap on the news is straight fiction.
