Thanks for another Stack! i voted 'Neither Disagree or Agree' because i have learned to think critically about each piece of news no matter the source. Took some time to break some old habits but it was worth it. i find ideological 'stuckness' in both mainstream and alternative brands at this point. i feel more 'free' having learned to truly think critically about what i consume. it's more fun too!

The poll regarding the trustworthiness of alternative media hits me as being too vague to have much value, as that realm is intensely diverse and becoming more so by the day. It seems people are now implicitly trusting certain alternative sources and remaining guarded about others, whereas the same people might continue trusting some "mainstream media". "Forget mainstream media, do you trust alternative media?" is too general to yield revealing results.
