Russell described how legacy media outlets in the UK used to compete fiercely with each other, until a single meeting with senior newspaper leadership could dictate what every outlet said about a topic like vaccines. He pointed to an organization of media partners built explicitly around the idea that their real competition isn't each other anymore, it's independent media. Russell argued that once people know the BBC edits its material and Channel 4 knows which side its bread is buttered on, trust in the entire system becomes nearly impossible to rebuild. Sometimes the biggest tell is who they've decided to compete against.
