This is true.
I firmly believe if COVID had actually killed Tom Hanks, Americans would've taken the virus far more seriously.
I think it's dumb that people trust actors/celebrities so much. I like eg Tom Hanks as a performer, but we don't really know anything beyond the characters he plays and his public persona. I feel like Kevin Spacey was extremely respected before the revelations about him. Ellen Degeneres for some reason people love, even though she's obviously been a phony for years, and then a bunch of stories became public about her being very different in private. We really shouldn't put so much stock in people just because we enjoy their work.
Yes and yes.
These two ideas are not only not mutually exclusive, they are in fact the same idea.
Tends to be more with one major demographic, though. Women. It's a huge and powerful demographic, though.
Problem with Chomsky--not his problem--but he's been blacklisted from all major forms of media, including left leaning publications like the NYT/WaPo/Atlantic.
His consistent with critique of American hegemony and the corporate state is too much for those publications. One of the former NYT executive editors actually admitted. And this was back in the 60/70s.

I agree with you in that it was newsmedia in general that was trusted. But Cronkite was synonymous with The News back then. He was the mouthpiece that represented what the fourth estate's collective mission was about. There hasn't been anyone since then that had as much respect or pull, and I'm including the time before the fairness doctrine was abolished and the rise of Roger Ailes.
Dudes like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Cook, Pichai, etc. Take your pick. We've entrusted them with so much personal info they practically know us better than our own family.
He's also American. He's got dual citizenship.
Ryan Reynolds is a British columbian
And Trebek was also Canadian lol
All the US voices of reason are from Canada?
Tom Hanks is on the shit-list for the crazies in Q-Anon, so he's out.
Honestly, if getting a quick, tasty bite to eat was the objective, I'd trust Guy over anybody else.
Yes, something about him going to Greece and some nonsense about pedophilia being a "disability" (it's not)
Fact check: Tom Hanks is now a Greek citizen, but pedophilia has nothing to do with it
A QAnon conspiracy theory claiming pedophilia is considered a disability in Greece is false.

It's best not to look into it TOO much, unless you don't value your sanity.
The same Tom Hanks who repeatedly erases Black and minority men from his good old boy WW2 fantasies?
Nah, I'm going to object to this.
My grandfather was at Bastogne ffs.
Depends on which political party you vote for. Republicans don't give a shit what liberal ass Tom Hanks or anyone from Hollywood thinks.
It's Trump. 70 million credulous cretins take everything he says - quite literally for some - as gospel.
