Look at the type of people in journalism today. They don't exactly inspire confidence in their reporting ability or integrity of their word.
It used to be that people trusted reporters-now you are a moron if you believe what a reporter or news agency says without double or triple checking it with different references. Reporters and the news isn't looked at the same way it used to be.

Uhh -- when was this golden age of trustworthy media? Oh wait, I'm pretty sure it didn't exist.
The reason that the media seems so untrustworthy now as opposed to before is because there ARE checks on it. With so many different sources (thousands of newspapers, magazines, television, the internet), discrepancies will be noticed much faster than they were in, say, the 1800s when most people were reliant on fewer sources for their news.
