Your premise is people don't trust media so they listen to liars. My premise as I stated is that Objective and impartial news is a myth. You have a story and then you have coverage. 7 people shot by a terrorist is a story. The person you listen to in order to get the rundown is the coverage, whether it's the New York Times or Paul Joseph Watson. The reason why people stopped trusting media is because for years they made people believe they were objective and unbiased because of their corporate name.
I'm not sure that "liars" is quite a comprehensive enough term for the news sources that people are running to in the face of lack of faith in the media - or, at the very least, it doesn't capture the range of behaviours exhibited by the "news" sources that are now being turned to. They're not all liars, nor do they lie all the time. For that matter, precisely this is true of mainstream media as well.
I'll take it that you agree that my premise is sound, since I haven't actually heard you state otherwise?
