BROKEN: Trust in mass media plummets to new low
By Melissa McEwan |
SEPTEMBER 14, 2016
On September 10, my colleague Peter Daou sounded the death knell for mainstream political reporting with a piece titled R.I.P. Political Journalism (1440-2016).
Four days later we get confirmation from Gallup: "Americans' trust and confidence in the mass media 'to report the news fully, accurately and fairly' has dropped to its lowest level in Gallup polling history, with 32% saying they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media."
SNIP
Theyre not even trying to hide how it works. We spent all week talking about it; we hired a pollster; the pollster concluded that the frame weve spent all week pushing has registered with THE PUBLIC.
Its become so routine that they dont even have any compunction about it.
This is neither neutral nor objective.
The media make value judgments about which stories to cover and how to cover them all the time.
Great Read on the Global Corporate's blatant churning of their wheels, rolling well above their profit margins for Election 2016.
UGH!!
