Paul Bedard – Washington Secrets Sept 30, 2020
With the public turning to social media for news, or just ignoring it altogether, trust in the legacy media has plummeted and is heading back to the historic low hit during the 2016 elections.
But a new Gallup poll finds that the public’s trust and confidence in mass media depends on their politics.
For Democrats, a near record high 73% have a great deal, or fair amount of trust in the media. For Republicans, an all-time low of 10% trust radio, TV, and newspapers. Just 3% of the GOP has a “great deal” of trust in media institutions.
The poll highlights:
- 9% of people in the U.S. trust mass media “a great deal,” and 31% “a fair amount.”
- 27% of people have “not very much” trust, and 33% have “none at all.”
- The percentage of the public with no trust at all is a record high, up five points since 2019.
According to analysis of the poll, “33% who do not have any confidence this year reflects a five-point uptick and is the highest reading on record. Republicans are the main drivers behind this change: 58% of them now express this view, marking a 10-point increase and the first-ever majority-level reading.”

Since the 2016 election, Republicans and Democrats have been widely divided on the media. Democrats have supported the media, which has been harsh to President Trump, while Republicans have abandoned the mass media for the same reason. Trump has also attacked the legacy media’s coverage of his administration.
Gallup noted that many view the media as a key ingredient to a strong democracy, but their view of the current media doesn’t show universal support for the news business.
In its “Bottom Line” analysis, Gallup said, “Americans’ confidence in the media to report the news fairly, accurately and fully has been persistently low for over a decade and shows no signs of improving, as Republicans’ and Democrats’ trust moves in opposite directions. The political polarization that grips the country is reflected in partisans’ views of the media, which are now the most divergent in Gallup’s history.”
This is a Gallup poll. The big problem is that most sheeple have no idea how news stories are created. Most of the people in PR have a background in journalism, or they work with journalists or are managed by journalists and they are employed to filter information and package it so that pressititutes will run off and publish it. But the pressitute has their own prejudices, so they can impart their own take, but this mustn’t detract from the source message, then they need to keep it within the ‘house style’ & this includes all the written and unwritten red lines laied out by the media organisation. So the information, true, false, misleading or damn right propaganda, has been through a forest of gatekeepers, but not it must get passed the editor. The editor might bin it, the pressititute might get sacked. The editor will usually make changes, might thell the pressitute to make changes, might delete entire paragraphs or clips and the editor will choose the HEADLINE. There are famous cases where the editor has added a headline that was libelous or an out right lie. I won’t go into details, but the BBC simply isn’t fit for purpose. The lie constantly and they have guests who are allowed to lie.
In a nutshell, opinion polls about the fake news are ten a penny, because the sheeple simply don’t know what goes on, how it works. I remember going to the Millenium Dome Exhibition (I didn’t pay). Some film crew wanted filler, she asked what I thought, I said: “Will it actually get shown unedited?” The look of horror on her face was a picture. I had a similar experience with a BBC Newsnight editor… he wanted views that fitted HIS agenda, I left the meeting. Another time, a well known website editor put my name forward to some North London production company making a documentary about 9/11 lol This website editor didn’t ask me if he could forward my contact details, he just did it. I phoned up, my views/knowledge scared her so much, she hung up. This PC was making a show for Channel 4. The ONLY time you work with the fake news or MSM production, is when they give you final edit control. They almost never do this, so don’t bother.
Perhaps Gallup can ask Americans if they realize elite Jewish extremists control the media.
Most Americans have no idea the power elite Jewish extremists have in the media, and media people who do, won’t say anything because they realize if they comment on the big issue, elite Jewish extremists will happily ruin their career.
Haim Saban an Israeli-American, through Saban Capital Group and a group of investors, bought Univision Communications, the largest Spanish-language media company in the United States.
It seems Haim wants to brainwash Hispanics to think Israel is wonderful.
From Haim Saban:
“I’m a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel.”

From Haim Saban: At a 2009 conference in Israel, the magazine reported, he cited “three ways to be influential in American politics”: make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets.

Why is anyone with any brains buying “newspapers” in the first place? If we all stopped buying the bloody things the financial snowboard effect will kill them all off. Traitorous “Jounalist” deserve to be put out of work anyway. Or is this just too simple!?
When I read people say the majority are asleep I wonder if they’re the ones the media are fooling. People just aren’t so stupid as to not know when they’re being seriously taken advantage of. And what’s the point of knowing the media lie, then believe it when they tell a really big one? They won’t say people aren’t falling for it and just a few do. They have to say a majority opinion is not only only a minority opinion but is held by just a few cranks. If they told the truth about who believes and who doesn’t the whole charade will fall apart.
When one learns or knows who owns the media that is proof enough that the media should never be trusted.
Satanic JEWS control or own the major media outlets in the USA. It simply is NOT possible for a JEW to tell the truth. This is how the HoloHOAX rolls on; this is how the truth about WWI and WWII is suppressed; this is why the 911 LIE continues ( The truth is that Israel and the Bush criminals did 911.); this is why Americans believe that the US military is in Syria to fight ISIS when, in truth, the US military is in Syria to SUPPORT ISIS. The reason the JEWS get away with all their LIES is because Americans are just too stupid to find the truth. Even worse, Americans do not want to KNOW the truth. The truth is that JEWS have destroyed the USA. So, do not whine and complain when you and your family are hungry or cold. You did it to yourselves. One can only hope that the day will come when there are NO JEWS in America. Unfortunately, that day will only come when the USA is ruined, and the Bolshevik Communist Ashkenazi Khazars, after cleaning the carcass, move on to the next victim country, or to Israel.
9% trust the media a “great deal”? Wow. And 31% trust the Ministry of Propaganda a “fair amount”? And by “fair amount” that means they almost always trust the steaming bullshit shoveled out. That 9% just needs to be launched into outer space with no suits and the 31% need to be publicly horse-whipped, rolled in pig shit, and permanently quarantined on a big island.
A Fox “News” affiliate was sued years ago over a piece in which they broadcast outright lies and shameless distortions. The case went to an appellate court where the judge declared what Fox “News” did was all well and good, with the judge stating that “news organizations are under no obligation to tell the truth”, that “news” was considered “entertainment” and had no legal obligation to be factual in the least. “News” could be held legally liable for slander or libel, but could otherwise distort, lie, or simply make xxxx up to their heart’s content and present it as factual information. That has been literally declared and upheld in court.
