Look at it this way. If the news said something but your close friend told you it was a lie, who would you believe? Would you believe the news or your friend? You are just a number and a dollar sign to the big media, even if you agree with everything they say and believe the same things they believe, you are just viewership numbers to them all.
Independent media where people start with a following of nobody and builds it up to hundreds of thousands, those have more of a connection to the content creator. You can also actually speak to them, you are not just a member number to them. They will value you as a viewer.
