quote:

Gallup’s annual poll measuring the public trust in mass media found a record high number of those who have no trust at all.

Six in ten of those polled have have “not very much” trust (27 percent) in the media, while those who have “none at all” hit a record 33 percent.


The 33 percent with no trust whatsoever is a record high.

One-third of the country has written the national media off entirely.

And if you add the 33% and the 27%, you discover that 60% of Americans have little to no confidence in the media. Or to look at it in reverse, only 40% of Americans have any level of confidence in the media at all.

You have to be a far-left sheep incapable of critical thinking not to realize that mainstream corporate media is about propagandizing the agenda. Even most liberals know the media is rigged.

It’s not about the “news” or being informed.

I would have thought the numbers would have more disparity than this. No one I know under 45 trusts the MSM as a whole, but many have one or two outlets they like.

The question should be by network. Who trusts CNN? FOX? Al Jazeera...etc. Then we'd have a better picture.

Media will of course blame Trump, not themselves.

I have tremendous confidence in the media. Whatever the media says I'm confident that the exact opposite is the truth. It saves me a lot of research. If I don't know who 'John Doe' is and the media tells me he is bad then I know that he's a very good person.

The best example was the NYT telling me that the most disgusting website on the internet is Voat.co. I immediately deduced that it was great and I go there every day.

The number conforms nicely to the number of people expected to have an IQ below 90.

I don’t know why they won’t just try lying less.
