Journalist Glenn Greenwald has highlighted how a new Harris-Harvard poll, which has been covered practically nowhere in the mainstream media, displays how Americans hold almost wholly opposite opinions to liberal corporate media narratives.
A newly released Harris-Harvard poll conclusively demonstrates how radically out of touch is liberal corporate media with the views of Americans.
It's not just that corporate media rejects Americans' views. They don't permit those views to be heard.https://t.co/Lor6QSUnl6 — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) May 21, 2023
Greenwald noted that majorities of Americans consider ‘Russian collusion’ as a false story, and believe the Hunter Biden laptop story was never ‘misinformation’, despite relentless media propaganda stating the opposite:
Americans also believe that the materials on the Hunter Biden laptop are real, and are not and never were "Russian disinformation."
So again, Americans view the claim that the US corporate media and CIA spread for weeks before the 2020 election - to help Biden win - as a fraud.

Greenwald also noted how majorities believe the Bidens have engaged in criminal activity and the at the FBI is refusing to investigate.
The journalist also noted how the poll found large majorities want sweeping reform of the FBI and are not surprised it has abused its power to help Biden.
*Large majorities* of Americans say they are not surprised to learn the FBI abused it power in the 2016 Trum/Russia probe to help Biden.
*Large majorities* also say they are deeply worried about the US Security State's manipulation of US politics, and sweeping reform is needed.

The poll found that the vast majority of Americans don’t believe Biden is mentally capable of being President, and the most popular political figures are Trump and DeSantis:
The 3 political figures who are viewed most favorably by Americans are Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis (Berne is next).
Musk has by far the highest favorability gap (+14). AOC's is -13, Mitch McConnell -24.
Tim Scott and Vivek are +7. pic.twitter.com/NpKB6l4ZKB — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) May 21, 2023
The poll also found that just 40 percent of Democrat voters intend to vote for Biden.
What's so striking here isn't that the corporate media relentlessly advocates views and ideologies that majorities of Americans - often large majorities - reject.
It's that the views held by majorities are all but banned on NBC, CNN, NYT and WPost. Thus, this is not a mystery: pic.twitter.com/Xm3lh0HUzv — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) May 21, 2023
If this doesn’t demonstrate how despised the leftist media has become then nothing will.

It just goes to show you how out of touch with reality the media truly are.
The fake media’s job is to make people think that the government spin or opinion is the majority opinion.
“The poll also found that just 40 percent of Democrat voters intend to vote for Biden.”
So does that mean they will vote for Kennedy? That would be interesting to see a Trump vs Kennedy matchup. That way the elites lose either way.
Which will just make the big corporations double down on the woke advertising. After all, the customer is always wrong.
It’s almost as though the media is, I don’t know, the enemy of the people.
“If this doesn’t demonstrate how despised the leftist media has become then nothing will.”
The truth has finally started to filter through.
The advantage the old media and the national security state have is that they control the narrative for what’s important NOW. They elected Biden with the laptop disinformation scam. They ruined Trumps presidency with the Russia hoax. They closed down the country with the pandemic scare. And, they kept the J6 hoorah going through the 2022 midterms.
For a group no one believes TODAY, they are doing pretty well. Power untouched. Money untouched. And, they have a nice old war to go on about.
It’s a bit of unnerving to me that they can get 41-44% of the lemmings to keep believing the bull.
Probably relatively common in fascist states.
Most people are not on Instabutt, Snapcrap, TikDud, and FaceThis is old news. We all go about our daily lives trying to do the best we can. Some of us pay more attention to the insanity of the Deep State (as Rush often stated, turn off all the news, blogs, etc every so often. You will feel better).
Forty-plus years ago I completely turned off ABCBSNBCNNMSLSD. Every so often I will tune in, and it is still an arm of the DemocRAT Party. Rush named them perfectly: stenographers for the RATS.
Yet, it seems that Democrats keep winning elections...
The left doesn’t care if people want their policies or not. They simply rely on the media not to tell anyone what they are doing, e.g. huge increases in the cost of energy due to GND policies which they will blame on oil companies and call it”gouging” after they refuse to allow the oil companies to find oil and gas, and after they pass regulations which make carbon capture and storage necessary, a process which is many times more expensive than the oil that is being burnt.
No better example of liberals living in a bubble that the Bud Lite fiasco. The liberals and media in their left coast enclaves are clueless about what the people think nor care and write them off as ignorant rednecks and bumpkins. Remember Obama’s “ bitter clingers” and Hillary’s “deplorables” …just examples of the utter distain they have for the people of the country who do not share their leftist views.
Yes, 100%. The Government is the ultimate parasite. It produces nothing yet it can legally drain funds from everyone where it uses it’s power to use crony corporations and people who depend on government for their livelihoods to be coerced to do its bidding.
The media are mostly a “confirmation bias” service for idiots.
My own expert polling, which has a margin of error of 0.0%, shows that the vast majority of the US population suffers from cognitive dissonance and/or severe mental retardation.
