In essence, more media consumption = less ability to trust media on average. Is it possible because of the paradox of unanimity, where larger head-count consensus decreases in accuracy of determining the truth? (see also John Gottman's idea on sentiment ratios) Or maybe it is the Penrose square root law, where larger variation in populations means that smaller voices are being herd? (see also Noah Carl's take on "minority rule")
