I think you’re right, trust in media and government has really gone down. People are more careful now about what they believe, and it shows how important honesty and transparency are. Change won’t happen overnight, but it’s something we all need to work on together.
I really hope more people question absolutely everything they read or see in the media. I think we have to now. Decades ago I trusted the public radio and television news here in the US but it's been proven that they're no longer fair and impartial, and haven't been for years.
