The Ministry of Propaganda will blame this on Russian disinformation.

[brownsfan]

Oh, it’s way beyond that. I’d bet that the US ranks first in the amount of hate citizens have for the media. If I were king, a significant number of media members would be cancelled from existence.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The only thing surprising is that 29% actually believe anything from the Ministry of Propaganda.

[DoughtyOne]

If it’s from Reuters, you can cut that 29% in half.

[colorado tanker]

There are consequences for deciding to be the DNC’s Propaganda Ministry.

[ConservativeMind]

Please provide your “despotism” and “newspaper checks” post!

The Media is the propaganda arm of the Democrat party

[Bringbackthedraft]

Must be the brain dead democrats and Leftists, they make about 29% of the population. ...................... Yeah, but what percentage of the media do “they” the brain dead democrats, control. About 1/3rd of Germany’s population were die hard Nazis, who controlled the press there? Control the press, control the mind. Same went for the other mass murderers of the past century. So long as good does nothing, evils ends up controlling everything. We can’t continue to wait for God to do something, he has an endless universe to contend with. Become active politically and get back in their faces with it.

29% approve of the leftist propaganda disguised as news. 🤪

the people in 45 countries are naive

Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w
“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

[VTenigma]

It surprises me. I can believe 2.9% not 29%.

[dfwgator]

State run media would be even worse.

For all intents and purposes we do have State-Run Media.

[ConservativeMind]

That is a most excellent post, always!

Thank you.

[Pajamajan]

This is great news!- Because the US media lies to the people all the time.

But it looks like the people are starting to wake up to this.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

The current state of MSM and journalism is the result of our universities and colleges teaching activist journalism.

[ifinnegan]

This is more proof the election was stolen.

[upchuck]

Bartender, let’s celebrate. Drinks for everyone!!

[tet68]

It’s actually a badge of honor as far as citizens go,
the press...not so much.

[Savage Beast]

Do you mean to tell me that 29% of the population actually TRUSTS that propaganda machine?????
