I also have to trust the community in order to trust the system. But no community can help you, if the maintainers doesn't do their job well, after you got pawned. There are lot of Open Source projects and operating systems I do not trust.

And yes I also get what you were saying with the media comparison, I did not try to invalidate your personal opinion by claiming the comparison wasn't valid. I understand you were trying to make a point by that. I just didn't want to go too far away from the topic, as this happens too often. So my apologies for the tone it may had (not sure how to put this into words). Also thanks for staying productive in the discussions, with political stuff involved this gets heated up very quickly.
