This is just another of the long list of things that you can only trust if you pay for it. You are the product not the client of most media you consume.

If you want news, you have to not only pay for it but, pay for independent 3rd parties to vet it so that over time you have media that you can trust.

Nothing it trust-worthy any more. Newspapers are selling their reputations in a fire sale. Buzzfeed actually makes money by ignoring any idea of objectiveness or the separation between editorial and advertising.
