50 percent, huh? Yeah. Right. WHO even believes that?

Anyone with an IQ over 50 knows the real percent is well above half.

[bray]

Safe and effective.

[Red Badger]

The other half are Democrats...................

[Political Junkie Too]

They do.

-PJ

[BenLurkin]

Probably becauze the so-called “news” media has been caught misleading the public.

[1Old Pro]

Honestly, this should be a Bee headline.

[cgbg]

Anyone who believes mass media coverage is a danger to themselves and others.

[joshua c]

rest of headline...the other half is slow

[Vision]

Americans believe news organizations deliberately mislead them, because they do.

Gaslighting bastards.

[EliRoom8]

>>The other half are Democrats...................<<
True!

[cyclotic]

Only half? Then the other half are dumber than the average sheep

[eyeamok]

Maybe if theyt didn’t lie and get all the time, someone would listen. But hey, presstitutes gotta presstitute

[MtnClimber]

Are the other half of society mentally retarded? Saying “I am so We Tod Did”.

[Delta 21]

I KNOW that news organizations intentionally lie trying to mislead me.

I dont believe the Assoc Press, Gallup or the Knight Foundation either. Who paid for Gallup or the Knight Foundation to conduct this survey?
Publics best interests from a news organization? [Spit] Say that again and wipe that grin of your face or you will never be a talking head in front of the camera!

[ConservativeInPA]

The MSM is an arm of the Democrat party.

[Robert DeLong]

Actually, we know they have lied to us about many things. It’s way beyond just being a belief anymore.

[TexasFreeper2009]

who believes that the media ISN’T purposely trying to mislead them not just on what they report and how they report it, not just flat out lies, but also in what they choose not to report!

[Jeff Chandler]

And we know which half.

[RatRipper]

half of Americans now believe that news organizations deliberately mislead them

Maybe it's because they DO deliberately mislead.

Nosiree . . . not gonna get anything past the American public . . . . /sarc

"The survey, released Wednesday by Gallup and the Knight Foundation, goes beyond others that have shown a low level of trust in the media to the startling point where many believe there is an intent to deceive."

I'm sure more than one person can provide them with examples if they're interested (they're not).

For instance...anyone remember the NBC exploding truck fiasco in the 1990s?
The Rathergate "memo" (busted by FR's own Buckhead)?

You do occasionally get an Emerald Robinson (or that ex reporter who recently talked about anything she had to say about Hillary would have to be approved by management) type that gives a little inside baseball, but it would be awesome to get some Project Veritas type sting that really exposes the rot.
