| There has been a breakdown in the ''Semi-reliable Communal Sense-making''. Traditionally we used institutions to guide our collective sense-making, but this is no longer the case in the media landscape β so sense-making is no longer close to fully ''communal''. Walter Cronkite was not always telling the truth, but what he said was a close approximation of the national consciousness and shared belief structure as a complex for the country to function upon, but this does not exist in the current media landscape β so it is no longer ''semi-reliable''.
