I think this media bashing of the main stream media is just a fad, a trend a way of blowing off steam. Some point to the election of Donald Trump that was wrong only because of the electoral system. Clinton won by nearly 3 million votes but wasn't elected. And even though Fox News has more eyeballs than CNN and MSNBC , it doesn't legitimize their slanted views on American culture. 
As a Canadian that gets at least three perspectives ( British ,Canadian and American) I have relatives in all three countries I can say confidently this faux attack on publications like the Globe are short lived. I trust the New York Times and the Washington Post, I've been reading and subscribing to the Globe since the early sixties and even though I don't often agree with the Toronto Star , I get where they're coming from. 
So, the commenters who proclaim that all mainstream media is misleading without balance and sources, fine stick to your Fox News and Breitbart and Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh.
