People have lost faith in politicians and the media due to a combination of dishonesty, bias, self-interest, and failure to represent the public effectively. Here’s a concise breakdown:

1. Politicians:

Broken Promises – Campaign promises are often abandoned once in office.

Corruption & Self-Enrichment – Many politicians prioritize donors and personal gain over constituents.

Partisan Gridlock – Instead of solving problems, politicians focus on fighting each other.

Lack of Accountability – Scandals rarely lead to meaningful consequences.

Elitism & Disconnect – Many seem out of touch with the struggles of ordinary people.

2. Media:

Bias & Agenda-Driven Reporting – News outlets prioritize narratives over objective facts, often reflecting corporate or political interests.

Sensationalism & Clickbait – Fear, outrage, and drama drive ratings, not truth or balanced reporting.

Misinformation & Censorship – Selective coverage, suppression of inconvenient facts, and misleading headlines fuel distrust.

Corporate Influence – Big media is controlled by a few powerful conglomerates with vested interests.

Erosion of Investigative Journalism – More focus on opinion pieces and infotainment than in-depth, fact-based reporting.

The Result:

People feel manipulated rather than informed, and many believe politicians and the media serve their own interests rather than the public good. This distrust fuels alternative media consumption, grassroots movements, and widespread skepticism toward official narratives.
