White House to open media access to podcasters, influencers
Podcasters and social media influencers will be permitted to apply for credentials to cover the White House, the new press secretary announced Tuesday.
“The Trump White House will speak to all media outlets and personalities, not just the legacy media that are seated in this room,” Leavitt said. She cited a Gallup poll showing low trust in media in the United States, particularly among younger people.
I'm not a younger person but my diminished trust in legacy media is largely due to it being influenced by social media and influencers and not holding up to the standards or responsibilities they're trusted with.
Do people, younger people, have a higher trust among podcasters than ABC, CBS, PBS, Reuters?
Imo it's more specialized/Tribal. With so many podcasters you can shop/select someone that most aligns with your political opinion. Also since Podcaster are typically less bound by PC/Public opinion then outlets like even Fox News, you can get really specific.
You want redpill? Here you go. Want somone who think the earth is flat? Here you go. Vaccine skeptic? Sure.
If you have these beliefs, why would you not trust someone who says it like it is and agrees with you?
