Americans' Trust in Media Remains at Trend Low
Gallup ^

Posted on 10/18/2024 5:12:29 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Americans continue to register record-low trust in the mass media, with 31% expressing a “great deal” or “fair amount” of confidence in the media to report the news “fully, accurately and fairly,” similar to last year’s 32%. Americans’ trust in the media -- such as newspapers, television and radio -- first fell to 32% in 2016 and did so again last year.

For the third consecutive year, more U.S. adults have no trust at all in the media (36%) than trust it a great deal or fair amount. Another 33% of Americans express “not very much” confidence.

If this poll was actually true, why the hell is Harris and her little white dud, Tiny Tim, the most “widely popular” ticket to ever have run for President and VP? The “media” took Harris from being the dizziest broad in the Swamp to a Jamaican/Indian/Canadian Goddess who is smarter than anyone else on the planet and they basically did it overnight.

Why anyone trusts the “media” is beyond me. They have perverted truth.

You can credit Elon Musk and Twitter for a lot of that, plus lots of independent journalists on Rumble, YouTube, etc, plus the thousands of people who independently take videos of events and post them.

Legacy media gets destroyed when people are able to present the full context of events, and show media lies.

I feel the same way. I actually read a piece of trash yesterday where the lefties were accusing “the media” of attacking Harris by setting her up with an interview with FNC. That is the biggest piece of crap I’ve ever read. Harris set herself up for that lovefest gone wrong and now she and her supporters are trying to get a little pity and empathy out of it for her. What a load.

I have full faith and trust in the mass media—to lie lie lie lie lie—and to act as propaganda ministry for the Deep State.

They hate me.

I hate them.

We have a very healthy relationship.

It’s not so much the lies, it’s the truths they don’t tell.

Propaganda is dangerous to democracy.

Lots of Americans don’t trust the media, medical care, lawyers, judges, pharma, cable companes etc.

Wonder why? 🤔🤔🤔💩

They’ll be crying all the way to the bank, as long as many of us are willing to keep paying them via our TV subscriptions for the privilege of being entertained by them
