jwhop | The answer; not very many. Republicans 14% Independents 30% Democrats 51% Than means 86% of Republicans That means 70% of Independents That means 49% of Democrats DO NOT TRUST THE NEWS MEDIA! http://www.gallup.com/poll/195542/americans-trust-mass-media-sinks-new-low.aspx |

jwhop | Real people responding to real questions about trust or non trust in the news media. Answer...from Gallup. No one really trusts the news media. They're getting what they so richly deserve. |
iQ | @Catalina, I went through the article on Richard Mercer's Propoaganda/Psy-Ops. Such methodology wlll work effectively only one, because every rival will now do the same. The same techniques were used in India when the Right Wing Fringe won a mandate by propagating fake news on Social Media. The same kind of success was not replicated in subsequent elections.

Catalina | Yes warring factions will always somewhat cancel each other out. Great quote from The Art of the Deal "If there's one thing I've learned from dealing with politicians over the years, it's that the only thing guaranteed to force them into action is the press, or fear of the press" Now the "ghost writer" of The Deal says he had to write almost all of it himself so who knows if Don Wannabe said that? 😉 But it explains the urgent imperative to hobble the press in any way possible quite succinctly, doesn't it? And of course Bannon has been at this for years..in order to gain traction for his own press he laboured long and hard to discredit those in the position he covetted. |
Catalina | According to your post, jwhop, the graph depicts a survey where the answers ranged from not much to a fair amount. Not very clear from what you posted |
Catalina | Sorry, the edit Button is vanished! That range is "a great deal/a fair amount" |
Catalina | And once again.. the "news media" is not just the ones you hate but includes Fox, Breitbart, and all your favourites of the moment too. TV, cable, youtube, radio..all news media! |
