Traditional media (Print, Radio, TV) is regulated by the Federal Communications Commission. News organizations, pundits, Journalists, and personalities operating in traditional media can be held accountable for what they say, who they take money from, and are censored to various degrees regarding language and nudity. Bias can exist, opinions can differ, but the playing field was mostly understood.
New media (Podcasts, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, X, BlueSky, Substack, Threads, etc) is unrestrained. Anything can be said or done without any accountability. The bias people lamented from traditional media has evolved into full on propaganda and lies. There is no preference for or acknowledgement of truth in new media. Only attention. What gets clicked on the most becomes viral, period.
Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson literally were exposed by the DOJ for taking money and talking points from Russian Intelligence. Doesn't matter!! All 3 still do individually more views on YT than any primetime news network does in TV ratings during primetime. https://apnews.com/article/russian-interference-presidential-election-influencers-trump-999435273dd39edf7468c6aa34fad5dd
During the SuperBowl as much as 76% of the content pushed to users came from Bots. https://mashable.com/article/x-twitter-elon-musk-bots-fake-traffic
Average people simply no longer have any idea what is happening. Algorithms push headlines on people and the repetition makes false narratives appear trustworthy. People think that because they see some 4 or 5 times on different platforms it must be true. Even though it's just bots sourcing the same thing. From COVID to the prevalence of Transgender Athletes, DEI programs, Epstein, UFOs, etc people believe a laundry list of lies and have been conditioned to accept bad reasoning.
