The AI image appears to be a manipulated version of a photograph taken during an August 2025 White House visit, days after Trump’s Alaskan summit with Putin.
You have to be more careful when presuming. The singular form is medium, media IS the pluralistic form. I say the US media as a blanket term that includes both legacy corporate news, credible journalism groups like AP and Reuters, and independent US based outlets. I am aware of my ‘leftist’ bias in so far as partisan labels have any use, but I believe politics is more nuanced than that, and put critical thinking and historical education above partisanship when I can. I don’t know what thoughts we share, but I’m sure there was some sort of miscommunication.
I appreciate that, and I think you’re right to be skeptical, and I value your critical lens because a LOT of outlets get by on people’s assumption of good faith and veracity. I think that’s what makes it very important to check multiple sources and always consider the potential biases. Some decent credible outlets do end up linked here on lemmy too, so it’s not completely useless for information gathering; the reality is we live in a downright hostile, post-truth media landscape unfortunately.

Absolutely my bed. Yes, media is plural and I thought it was singular. Therefore, I assumed you were talking about Lemmy. Sorry.
I have doubts that there exists a really credible journalism. I believe that all have a certain type of agenda - some may be less and others more.
