This is an interesting example to look at! I've searched "Jussie Smollett" on guardian.com, and here are the results: https://i.imgur.com/GDRMj2Q.png. Hmmm.

I've also went news.google.com, and "jussie smollett hoax" gave me about 5,750,000 results. Interesting.

Also, I can't help but notice that NYT article about new developments in Jussie Smollett case is called "Jussie Smollett Timeline: Mystery Deepens as Police Review Case".

Why people do not trust mainstream media the way they used to?

Mystery deepens, indeed.
