Nolte: Study Shows 95% of Americans ‘Troubled by Current State of Media’
Breitbart ^ | September 12, 2019 | Nick Nolte

Posted on 09/13/2019 8:50:16 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

An Ethics in Media study reveals that a whopping 95 percent of Americans are ” troubled by the current state of media.”

You couldn’t get 95 percent of the American people to agree that ice cream and sex are awesome, but 95 percent can come together to recognize just how horrible the media are.

What’s wrong with the other five percent.

The study was conducted by the public relations firm Bospar and surveyed 1,010 American adults.

Specific reasons for why Americans are concerned do vary. But to no one’s surprise, after more than five years of this…

Trayvon Martin Murdered by Racist White Man

Michael Brown Yelled “Hands up, Don’t Shoot!” Before Racist Cop Murdered Him

Brett Kavanaugh: Serial Rapist

Trump Ordered His Attorney to Lie

The Racist White Boys from Covington High School

Trump Can’t Defeat Hillary

Trump Is a Russian Manchurian Candidate

…“fake news” tops this list of concerns with a 53 percent majority.

Also hitting a near-majority are “reporting gossip” (49 percent) and “lying spokespeople” (48 percent). Here are the runners-up:

Celebrity opinions – 36%

Left-wing agendas – 34%

Gotcha journalism – 33%

Right-wing agendas – 32%

Puff pieces in exchange for access to other important interviews – 31%

Blind items being reported in the news – 30% Hit pieces – 21%

Rise of independent contributors versus on-staff media – 14%

More than two-thirds of respondents see no hope for the media, at least in the immediate future. A whopping 67 percent “believe ethics in journalism will be worse during the 2020 presidential campaign.”

People also understand exactly how all this bad journalism damages the country. Almost two-thirds, 64 percent, say it exacerbates division and partisanship; 63 percent said it “fuels inaccuracies”; 60 percent said it incites hate; 57 percent said it incites fear.

I hope that this is not a case of 55% of those people feeling that the media isn't being hard enough on President Trump ...

Does this mean 5% of the population are 'journalists' or related to 'journalists'?

Partner, u mean that 95% of the American populace do not agree with "The Giant Sixth Grade Brain Journalists".

Partner, a lot of the Freepers can get more $$$$$$ by taking over the Journalists Jobs of today or the Economists for that matter.

And yet the media won’t stop. It’s too late at this point anyway. I’m guessing that if your entire worldview is “us against them” where them is the viewers, then it really doesn’t matter. And it certainly echoes the same “us against them” attitude the politicians have.

He stole the show in “Angel Has Fallen” in which he apparently played himself.
