Sloppy, one-sided reporting has led to more distrust of the media than Trump or anyone else powerful could ever create. Report the truth.

The rest of us would love a free press that objectively and impartially reports relevant and important facts. Unfortunately, what we have are the activists at Vox.

Journalists are supposed to elevate discourse of independent ideas to hold power to account Instead they have obliterated nuance by neutering any contrarian opinion through sound-biting, emotional spin, and association of that distortion with the worst proximal strawman morality

Assuming that the press wouldn't forge numbers, not really a reason. Yet isn't that very reason be why Elon is correct? Your dilemma posted proves the situation to be dire.

False dichotomy. The press is both free and doing a terrible job. The problem isn't that lies might not get exposed but that truth is being twisted by dishonest people.

MSM is paid by the powerful we all know that. The free press...MY ASS!

C: Control all the major news outlets and make them act like professional wrestlers for the sheep; A giant digital smoke screen for the elites while they indulge in the finer things and empower their family’s net income.

Because you are a lying press saying trust me i'm honest then edit the crap out of things rather than present the full truth with no overall goal but truth. This you do not do you lie and trick and manipulate so tell me you are free to do all that and we are free to know you lie

Since when does this "free press" expose anything? Never exposed anything during Obama - caught TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT "FAKE NEWSING" Trump! You made your beds, sleep in them - or do whatever you do in them with your progressive masters.

Maybe we should stop assuming people are “very smart” just because they made a boatload of money off a tech startup and are good at convincing VC’s to give them lots more money to explore their hobbies.

@joshuatopolsky u r playing right into Elon's hands w this. When he calls media out for being self righteous & sanctimonious, its illustrated here. Ur blaming the public mistrust in the media..not just alt righters, but public at large on others..never thinking maybe we r biased

How about owning a supposedly "free" press and getting veto power?

The press has let singular hatred and ideological bias destroy the integrity of the 4th Estate by publishing so many inaccuracies that the public has no choice but to question their motives and/or competency.

This question is a classic, critical thinking False Dilemma
