A new survey shows 72% of Americans believe “traditional major news sources report news they know to be fake, false, or purposely misleading.”
In the survey by Axios/SurveyMonkey, respondents were asked “How often do you think traditional major news sources report news they know to be fake. False, or purposely misleading?”
The survey also showed on the political side that 92% of Republicans said that traditional news sources report news they know to be fake, along with 54% of Democrats. Additionally, the survey showed 79% of Independents said that traditional news sources report news they know to be fake. […]
Among those who think traditional news outlets report false news, about two-thirds think they do so intentionally to advance “an agenda.” […]

The other 28% lied to the pollsters.
Not for nothing, but 72% means our side says CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS/NY TIMES/WAPOST and their side says FOX NEWS/OAN.
Surveys are themselves a subset of Fake News.
Primarily an excuse for writing an publishing lines of filler blather.
In other news - water is wet. Fire is hot.
And the sun will rise in the east tomorrow.
Probably 20% of them did, becauase they know it's lies but they approve of the goals. The remaining 8% or stupid people who will believe anything, like actors and rock stars.
When even a majority of dim Dems catch on, you know the Fake News has become really obvious.
Not to mention, building homes on top of active volcanoes raises expectations of lava in the living room to 100 percent. (Not intended as a dig at the people on Hawaii’s Big Island, but the number of homes lost to Kilauea is now closing in on 700.)
I love the clip of the Mark Levin show going around where it begins with NorDUH O’Donnell saying Trump is lying and Levin has to school her on the facts. Too bad we can’t “call-in” to thee newscasters so we can make fools of them.
Only 72%.
Put CNN at the top, they tossed out a long time ago putting issues before Americans and showing both sides of a strong argument.
Do you have a source for these wild claims? ;)

The poll quantifies what each side is thinking.
Indeed, which is what makes this so funny.
The fake media concocts fake polls to manipulate and deceive the masses. Well now here come a poll that says... and people have been trained by said media to be fooled by polls so...
Oh wait, it's not supposed to work like that.
It's all going so horribly wrong. They don't know what hit them.
Not enough popcorn.
The Ministry of Propaganda has been exposed.
The media is the little boy who cried wolf.
On Twitter, libiots call it Faux News.
