Trust is a fundamental ingredient of civilisation.
Lose the trust of your targeted population and everything falls apart.
When I order a book from Ebay and pay by card, I trust that the book will arrive. And it does, and my trust is reaffirmed. It’s the same with Governments when they tell us to act in a certain way and we do, we trust them and when the promise does not happen, we lose trust.
It is the same with the media, we have lost trust in the media. They have become a propaganda instrument for whoever pays them. Public trust in the Government and Big Media is at an all-time low in New Zealand because they have lost our trust.
