I never understood why transparency wasn't more of a staple in the media. I don't find any comfort in a mainstream journalist's word because it is most often not their own. The process of having an article published is so extensive that the words are so mangled by the time is ready to be published it is hardly the writer's work. Any mainstream media outlet with an agenda is hard to trust because it is always "big business" or a CEO's opinion that fuels the fire and controls the material released.
Transparency on the other hand allows for readers to carefully choose whose work they read and eventually they form an opinion after reading so much of a writer's work and they decided whether or not they are able to trust a writer. Sensationalism and unreliable writing are detectable after a while and if a reader chooses to continue reading such things, they may be better off believing what they are reading is factual (I meant that in the nicest way possible).
