With yet another study showing trust in major media outlets hitting a near all-time low, there's no better time than right now for former ESPN star Sage Steele to reveal just how deep the institutional rot really runs.
Over at TIPP Insights, Terry Jones — not the one from Monty Python, I'm reasonably certain — called it a "media tailspin" when he looked at the results of the latest I&I/TIPP poll on the public's trust in major news sources.
TIPP asked more than 1,400 registered voters how much trust they have that traditional or "established" news outlets like the New York Times, CNN, and ABC will "report the news accurately and fairly."
I've seen TIPP ask similar questions before, but what I didn't realize before today is that it conducts the same poll every month. That means that TIPP probably has a better view of the public's trust in the mainstream media than anybody except, perhaps, certain mainstream media accountants keeping track of their dwindling audiences and revenues.
The results ought to make folks in various boardrooms sit up and take notice but, if the past is any guide, that won't happen. The poll found that "Only one-third (34%) trust traditional media, and six in ten (61%) don’t," while "A third (32%) say they have 'little trust,' and another 29% have 'no trust at all.'"
The only way to describe the mainstream media is that it's an industry in crisis — and that brings us to today's revelation from Sage Steele.

To a large extent this is true. For example, if MSM gave Traitor Joe the Trump treatment for a week by the end of the 5th day Biden’s numbers would be in the low 20’s. Without the relentless Biden cheerleading he would have 0 chance of re-election
Big Media won’t die. It will be nationalized before it is allowed to fail.

I did two Mays ago. Streaming ever since. However, Comcast/Xfinity is my internet provider. I pay for YouTube and Netflix.
The thing is that MSM ratings keep dropping. There are several podcasts that have much higher views/ratings than any MSM shows with the exception of sporting events and occasional specials.
Joe Rogan Experience has more views than most MSM shows with the exception of the Super Bowls and the most recent Academy Awards.
The MSM does have Streaming shows too. The Daily and Dateline NBC are both in the top ten streaming shows. The Daily is done by the NY Times.
I’m with the 29% who have “no trust” in the socialist government propaganda reporters.
