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 tee-ball questions she gets will take viewership down in the dozens.

Look for all pressers to be cancelled due to a staffer catching “covid” by March.

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

Today's journalist is nothing but an unskilled, untalented whore who refuses to print real news. They ignore the treasonous corruption of Kongress and the federal judiciary while they spend their time persecuting Melania Trump and her high heels.

They must be in a real funk now that she's gone.

The 18% are awfully dense - bless their hearts.

I’d bet that 18% figure was pulled out of someone’s butt.

They really aren’t “media”, they are more accurately described as Left Wing Activists with a mic or ink.
