Journalism is negative: “If it bleeds, it leads,” “Man Bites Dog, not Dog Bites Man” (unusual things are very often things we do not happen).Journalists none the less claim that all journalists are objective. Which means that journalists claim that negativity is objectivity. There is a name for that conceit: cynicism. As well as being the air journalists breath, cynicism is inherent in the socialist critique. No matter how much progress society makes, the socialist declares it insufficient and claims that if they are in charge things will be better. Except that when they are in charge, things do not get better, for the simple reason that socialists take charge of things which they have no expertise in. And then - Surprise, surprise! - the standard is not the results, but their good intentions are all that matter. This is cynicism.
Consequently, it is no surprise that socialists tend to trust journalists, and conservatives tend not to. Socialists and journalists are birds of a feather.
““Republicans who say they have trust in the media has plummeted to 14 percent from 32% a year ago.”
Establishment Republicans = 14% lol
