Well it depends
People in general like to cling to biases
Sometimes it's just a matter of learned behavior
The government is just an organization made up of people
With their own biases and agendas
Politicians are notorious for their lying
But that doesn't mean that Sometimes they don't truly believe their own lies
Or occasionally tell the truth
It's akin to the stereotypical car salesman
Or defense attorney
They'll give their own mother a bad deal while boldface lying to her if it improves their career or allows them to accumulate more wealth
These things aren't specific or isolated to one type of group or profession
They're universal
People have more of an issue with government sponsored information because it doesn't always align with their biases
Plus no one likes a bunch of overpaid crybaby liars telling them how to think
However non government funded organizations participate in the same type of spin and sensationalism as the government funded organizations
Think of it like competing tiktok users
They'll do and say and be whatever the audience wants because it generates more engagement as well as money
There are some that still believe in the truth
But the important things tend to get a whitewash when they're actually part of a big company
