Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's claim that the mainstream media can't be trusted is bolstered by at least four polls showing that as few as 6 percent have full confidence in what the press is writing and showing on TV.

Yet the MSM ‘seems’ to be hurting Trump’s poll numbers. No idea what to believe at this point. F&cking communists everywhere it seems.

Why would anyone (repeat A-N-Y-O-N-E) trust a reporter.

No meaningful experience and a sickening lefty agenda.

Even a used car salesman has more credibility than a journalist.

All I know is that as soon as they said Trump was a rapist, I did not believe them.

Gee I wonder why?


New Wikileaks emails show Hillary was not just given town hall and interview questions beforehand — But she was reading off a script in her interviews.

That's not an interview, it's an infomercial!

New York Times warns Hillary campaign in advance of stories they are about to publish.

Another fake interview!

For one of the very few times recently I am watching CNN. They’ve trotted out that painted old tart, Gloria Allred, for the latest MSM circus.

They have gone completely bonkers. How anyone can take them seriously after this is incomprehensible

I don’t think they care as long as Trump does not win. They believe they will get their trust back after the election. I don’t think so.

If the trust numbers for the fifth-column leftist media aren’t ZERO or lower, they’re biased way too high.

Yet another reason for Trump to campaign against the corrupt media as well as its corrupt candidate, Corrupt Hillary.

I am canceling our Dirrectv Satellite service immediately after this next/last debate.

I’ll miss Hannity, Judge J and Dobbs....the rest is a waste of my time and I’ll save about $1,500 per year. I would love to see Fox go under.

One of the running jokes throughout most of the Soviet dominion over Russia was this assessment of the two newspapers by the non-Communist citizenry:

"There is no Pravda in Izvestia, and there is no Izvestia in Pravda" or in English "There is no truth in News, and there is no news in Truth." But this was said carefully and to people who would not report you to the Central Committee.

This is where we are now with American "journalism".

RIPJournalism: Trust falls, Gallup 32%, Pew 18%, Facebook 12%, press group 6%

Key word is "Journalism". Basically it means advocacy with no standards or consequences. And that results in obvious propaganda.

For media to regain trust, it must return to "Reporting". The "fly on the wall" reports who, what, where, and when. The advocacy of "why" is left to the reader's evaluation.

But "reporting" requires work and discipline. Today's "journalism school graduates" are incapable of either.

Where are these 32% idiots? I haven’t met anyone who trusts the media.

Who trusts Facebook?

1200 people say they are “interested” in an event and barely 80 people show up.

Is this a scientific poll?

Gallup has 32% level of trust?

Pew 18% [Rush does tend to pronounce it in a funny way.]

Facebook 12% [So glad to learn if true!]

press group 6% [hahaha!]
