I am assuming that steem is not full of averages Americans =)
Well the same applies to Russia! We have poeple watching our first chanell just to become TV and propoganda zombies...
In the restaurnat field we say - "if you had a craft burger and a craft beer, but didnt post to instagram.. it NEVER happened!" )))
"There's no truth in The News and no news in The Truth" - I tried to find out how old that saying was but Google failed me. I always thought Russians were ahead of the rest of the world when it came to distrust of their mainstream media. US distrust of mainstream news has grown but its credibility is still disturbingly high. I don't know about the overall steem demographics but I'd definitely agree that people reading an article like this, whatever their country, aren't average.
Где мороженое? – I know very little Russian but that might come in handy one day.
That might well be true. It all started about 50 years ago in Russia, people ceasing to care about what the government-run media of that time had to say. So it's a tradition that spans several generations now.
And in the US, when has the distrust arisen? Is it a post-Iraqi war thing?
