The latest Gallup poll on Americans’ perception of the media has just been released, and it shows that 60% have “little or no trust in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly.” Here’s another very interesting data point:
The current gap between negative and positive views — 20 percentage points — is by far the highest Gallup has recorded since it began regularly asking the question in the 1990s.
The important thing about this poll is not simply the fact that a wide majority Americans understand that the mainstream media is nothing but inane propaganda, but the trend continues its relentless march toward higher and higher levels of mistrust.
These are the type of statistics that keep the incompetent elite running this nation up at night in sweats, and is something all of us that are trying to restore sanity and liberty to this country should cheer. The people are waking up and things will be turned around eventually.

Gee I wonder what caused the mistrust?!
Maybe because the actual truth content

Excellent.
I first started beating the ‘msm=propaganda’ drum back in the late 90s. MSM propaganda is a key factor in how we’ve reached our sad state.
Most people thought I was a kook. Glad to see they’re coming around. Sad, though, that we have to learn the hard way.
good book on the topic, though a bit dated: Manufacturing Consent, by Herman & Chomsky
