There will come a day when 100% of the public will laugh at the media and anyone who even suggests they trust the media will be severely ridiculed.

There is no way to save the media.

It’s very simple.

The reason the media is untrustworthy is they’re psychopaths. This is documented in

Psychopaths always meet their end.

Sad that 40% of the population is so easily duped. It is obvious to anyone with at least a room temperature IQ that the MSM is little more than a leftist propaganda arm...

I have not trusted the media for decades.

They lie. But for the most part it was a lie inside of reality.

They may lie about what caused an event but generally there was an event. And you can generally work out something that is close to the truth.

But in the past decade not just the media but our government spokes critters are outright not only lying to us but are quite upfront with the fact they are lying and openly sneer at people for believing them.

This is producing a dangerous situation.

Met a guy yesterday.

6 feet apart.

Said he was a “caritical thinker”.

Started to debate all gentlemanly and such.

Said Trump let the virus fester.

I said Trump shut down flights from China.

He said that was a racist move.

I said what?

He said Italy had the virus before the China shutdown and it was all coming from Italy.

So why would Trump unfairly punish the Chinese... unless he was racist.

This is real. The guy I was talking to was an unemployed circuit designer, a victim of Frau Witmer (Neighhhh!)

He said he doesn’t listen to CNN, the “critical thinker” prefers the writers at AP.

Folks, we can’t beat stupid.

An unemployed guy supporting those that made him unemployed?

I got nothing left. Can’t win this battle.

IF you actually believe anything that THE MAIN-SLIME MEDIA claims, ABSENT POSITIVE PROOF, you are simply STUPID, imVho.

Percentages of these various polls keep pointing to Biden getting no more that 40% of the vote in reality.

That the result is only 60% with their head not up their nether region, any country is lost with that other 40% in its midst...

Our beloved communist rulers can make do with that 40% for the next 11,998 months they will be in power...

With a bit more time it could go higher.

I believe that 40% contains some portion, perhaps a significant portion, that knows the MSM is spewing BS but just don’t care as long as the message supports their distorted view.

Nah, we can go higher. Just give the media time, they’ll dig that hole deeper.

The Swamp Media of today is nothing more than a large scale rumor mill. The ‘reporters’ do nothing more than sort through the pile of tales on Twitter, and string a few together to make up a story. That is then called a news report.

The ‘editors’ don’t know enough about English Composition themselves to catch things that the spell check flags. Fact check isn’t even considered, as long as the story fits the narrative of the day. The narrative of the day? That’s set by the morning DNC email. That’s the only thing that’s sacred.

Remember 60% “think” the media are liars. That’s sad.. They should “know” they are liars.

Public trust in the media is what got us in this mess. Likewise trust in education.

Withdraw the trust. Think for yourself. “I’m from Missouri” attitude.

Trust is a dangerous thing. One should be VERY stingy with it.

I stopped paying attention to Presstitutes when the Ice Age ended in the early 1980’s.

How can 18% of Republicans possibly be so stupid as to have any trust in the corporate media?
