And that last sentence:

That breakdown in trust may prompt many Americans to reject the mainstream news media, often in favor of social media and unreliable websites that spread misleading claims and that can become partisan echo chambers, leading to further polarization.

Maybe it's the mainstream news media that spreads misleading claims and are partisan echo chambers, leading to further polarization.

Talk about unreliable, Associate Press scores right up there!

So, the mainstream media, being eternal fonts of truth, simply have an image problem. Maybe hiring A-list movie stars as anchors and top-selling novelists as news writers would do the trick.

The Democrat party divides the nation.

Which is saying exactly the same thing.

This poll means they are doing their jobs well. The MSM and the Dems love these results. These are shameless, sociopathic Leftists.

Why the surprise?

They and their political apparatchiks preach hate and fear 24 hours a day.

The sad thing is that is what they want and intend.

Now, one of their latest ‘kicks’ is reporting on deaths because someone opened the wrong door or was in the wrong driveway or some similar location mistake. Such events, of course, give them fodder for their anti-gun rants.

So, is the media/political mechanism a cult or a religion?

No.
It is all just other people’s opinions.
I “trust” none of it.
