The democratization of news from the control of the major networks to the voices of hundreds, then thousands, and even millions of voices caused a major change in the fabric of society. The majority of people had listened to the major news services in previous decades because those were the only news sources. Those who disbelieved were the minority, reading or listening to underground newspapers and pirate radio stations. But with the anti-establishment news readily available for anyone to see on the new distributed networks, trust in the governments hit an all-time low. The dissatisfaction and rebellion against pro-government candidates put forth by both major American parties in the twenty teens was a direct result of this new paradigm.
