Here's a fact.

Phrases like, "why should I believe a word from the MSM they have squandered any trust and credibility they had" reveal a highly selective approach to media reportage which is aimed at confirming and promoting their own political and economic biases.

For example, the New York Times, oft dissed as "fake news" and "MSM" has

a Health section:
https://www.nytimes.com/section/health

a Tech section:
https://www.nytimes.com/section/technology

a Science section:
https://www.nytimes.com/section/science

If we are to simply accept that it's all "fake", we're all in big trouble--but that's not really what the conspiracy theorists want us to do. To do so would be to risk health problems, to miss investment opportunities based on technological innovation, or to still think that the world is flat. They want what their political masters want: they want us to conform wholeheartedly and unquestioningly to their political and economic vision of the world.
