What I mean by trust, is do you think their corporate owners give them free reign to report the truth? Or do they impose a "tow the line" walled garden where they'll frown on anything that embarresses, say, an affiliate.
Do they take sides in politics? And if so, is it because if bias on the ground, or is it imposes from above?
Is big news simply another form of "propaganda"?
I mean, lets say hyporthetically, we needed a real revolution. Could the media be counted on to back the people in this?

Oh they definitely don't give them free reign to report the truth.
Indeed they do take sides in politics. As to why, I think it's a mixture of both the reasons you gave.
Yes, though it's not propaganda 100% of the time. But it's not rare either.
Depends on who wants the revolution, for what reasons and who is in charge at the time. For instance, they'd back a revolution against Trump in a heartbeat lol. Then again Trump could blow his nose and they'd find something about it to complain about.

Nope. Although some newspapers have autonomy from their owners. Lord Rothemere owns the Daily Mail including its websites which are currently the biggest news websites in the world and he was, as an example, pro-remain during the Brexit referendum yet the editor of the paper, Paul Dacre was staunchly pro leave and the outlets he ran reflected that.
Another example was the 2015 UK general election and the Sun newspaper (Murdoch owned). The English version was pro Tory party and the Scottish version of the same paper was pro Scottish National Party who are diametrically opposed in almost every political way possible.
CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC and MSNBC hate Trump so much they can not and will not report fair on anything he does. It is like the owners and the news anchors have a mental disease. If it was not so bad for the country it would be fun to watch. And if Trump were to win a second term they will all be basket cases.
And when they have nothing legit to complain about they will either make stuff up or talk about petty stuff. We saw an example of both due to his recent trip to Asia. We had the false story about the fish feeding and then we had the stories about his handshake lol.

I meant nothing to complain about in terms of the Asia trip. But indeed yes, as you just highlighted, if they couldn't find anything about Asia to complain over there were other legit stories.
But nope, fish and handshakes.

All they are is a mish mash of Washington Post articles, Yale newz (Because that's where a lot of these reporters went, likely), and pandering crap (New Haven is dead, jobs are gone. Here's something for you black people to direct your anger at/remember who to vote for.)
