The result “blows the lid off of this idea” that such beliefs are held by only a fringe population of individuals who are uninformed or ideologically driven, says David Bersoff, head of research at the Edelman Trust Institute. “This is not like a small problematic group.”
It’s a boy who cried wolf situation. Too many decisions driven by profit and greed led to a complete collapse in faith for public interest.
Doesn’t matter if alternative ideas aren’t grounded in reality, it matter that the mainstream can’t be trusted.
The hypercapitalist behavior only takes and no longer delivers, as such it’s being abandoned in droves by those who need actual care.
For example, “David Bersoff, head of research at the Edelman Trust Institute.” sounds like an empty title, full of bullshit.
