Trust in the media is at an all-time low, with less than half of all Americans and just 18 percent of Republicans saying they trust traditional media outlets.

The new data from Edelman's 2021 Trust Barometer was shared with Axios, and found that trust in social media has also hit an all-time low of just 27 percent.

'This is the era of information bankruptcy,' said Richard Edelman, CEO of Edelman, in a statement.

The true way of rephrasing the title of this article would be “18% of Republicans are Idiots for Believing Media Prapaganda”

If the question had been rephrased....do you generally believe NPR or CNN? That would have been a 98-percent ‘no’ by Republicans and Independents. Even around Democrats, it might go as high as 30-percent.

Seriously. Consider say the Hunter Biden laptop story. If any Republican saw the way the media en masse ignored, excused, covered up or blatantly lied about it (”Russian propaganda!”), and still thinks the media has credibility, such a Republican is dumber than a box of rocks.

That is true as well. Unfortunately that despicable 18% control the GOP and/or profit from its mendacity and betrayal.

I don't trust that figure! "18%" is far too high!

Or these "Republicans" are "in on the steal" and they profit hugely from their betrayal.

Time for a new political party that will carve out centrist voters from both the Democratic and Republican parties, leaving both the depraved communist Democrats and the deceitful GOP New World Order snakes on the sidelines howling in impotent rage

with Jen Psaki as a White House spokeswoman, nobody is going to believe her except insane Democrats and their media toadies.

Known around DC as Jen Piss Sack of Shitski, she is worse than Maria Harf, and that is a hard act to beat.

The true conservative media has to keep on hitting the mainstream media every time they open their leftist, lying mouths and point out their lies, distortions, disinformation, and cozy relationships to the Democrats.

Repeat them, repeat them, repeat them, put their “lies” on billboards, posters, and conservative media, and don’t let up on it. The Left lies so much you’d think that they were “mattress and pillow testers for Mike Lindell”.

When the UK Daily Mail quotes 18%
just remember they are pretend conservatives who haven’t published one day in the last four years without a dig at DJT.
They are part of the lying fakestream media!

(I would be surprised if there was a single true Republican who believed the average journo.)
