A Gallup poll released yesterday shows that an all-time low of 7 percent of Americans say that they have a great deal of trust and confidence in the media.

At the other end of the spectrum, a record high of 24 percent said their trust and confidence in the media is “none.”

The sad part is, 7% of our population are too stupid to even be considered idiots.

I had to take Fox off my ‘exception’ list in light of their treatment of Trump.

Thank you for your perspective. With regards to the topic at hand, the histories of Vaclav Havel (Czechoslovakia, nonpolitical politics) and Lech Walesa are interesting.

Vaclav Havel and Lech Walesa, two Presidents with not only integrity, but with a history of putting the Czechs and the Poles first.

Lech Walesa has been speaking out recently about the invasion of the Muslim hordes....or as the MSM refer to them “the poor refugees”
