Trust in news media is low and violence against journalists is on the rise, but we want to rebuild trust and help you be informed
In the fall of 2019, I had the opportunity to go to the Crossroads of the West gun show when it returned to the Del Mar Fairgrounds after a nine-month hiatus. The experience proved illuminating.
I greatly appreciated John taking the time to chat, especially because I know he was a bit uneasy and hadn’t ever spoken with a reporter before. He told me at one point that this wasn’t what he expected journalists to be like. Appearing alongside Jesse Waters in a segment dubbed “Biden’s America: Open Borders, Violent Streets, Baby Formula,” Ungar-Sargon went on a riff complaining about how journalists don’t care about everyday people or their issues.
The vast majority of journalists are not that well off financially. The claim that most journalists are elites is laughable. They are by no means wealthy and certainly are not part of the “elites.” In fact, many reporters work additional gigs because a reporter salary is not enough to account for the cost of living, student loans, supporting a family, etc.
Most journalists live in the community they cover and care about their neighbors and towns. Their goal is to provide the public information and hold local government accountable. But that becomes significantly more difficult if people think they are the enemy.
