Trusting them, that is--to seek more than satisfaction of their own ignorance, bigotry and reinforcement for their own received notions? That's exactly what mass market publications do. It's what the corporate publishers want. It's what sells.

I may be wrong, but you're going to have pay a bit more attention to basic logic and be more careful in your choice of words to convince me.
