After American news outlets made 2700 journalists redundant last year, the redundancy party continues. This year, too, the media sector is expected to have to make massive job cuts as it has lost revenue. Since the major financial market crisis in 2008, advertising revenues have virtually collapsed. the question is, what triggered the massive loss of trust was the false reporting on the background to the financial market crisis, the persistent lies about the political background, the concealment of central bank policy, what could it be? in any case, the rise of social media, which is now leading to the rise of free, uncensorable media in brackets such as noste, was a breath of fresh air for the dissemination of news and the public discourse space. The state media and the media that feel they lean on the state will have to brace themselves for hard times if the people's awakening process continues, which is to be expected. The fight of states such as the European Union against free media platforms such as Elon Musk's "X" also exposes the entire political decay that is dragging the mainstream into the ditch. The state structures are so morally and ethically broken that freedom of expression and opinion-forming in the public sphere no longer seems tolerable.
