Distrust Of Media Hits Record High

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The results of a new Gallup poll reveal that Americans’ distrust with the media is more severe than ever and that is just those willing to admit it.

More American’s than ever have woken up to the fact that the media is often used for little more than parroting press releases and talking points handed out by the government, corporations and special interest groups.

Accroding to the latest gallup poll conducted on the subject a record 60% of the public now falls under this category of specifically having little or no trust of what the media is reporting.

Of course, this is merely the percentage of the population that isn’t afraid to tell what they truly think a topic which is best exemplified by iPhone users claiming the new iPhone 5 they were being shown was much better than the previous model even though they were secretly being shown the previous model.

The reason for the distrust is clear.

Propaganda is routinely echoed without ever questioning the validity of the claims and the media uses the excuse they are trying to maintain objectivity.

As HBO’s new show the News Room, which I highly recommend, exposes in detail in every episode this is done even when it is blatantly obvious what is being reported is full of blatant lies, half-truths or other misleading information.

Another great example of this was  during Jesse Ventura’s appearance on the CNN show Piers Morgan on Friday.

During the show Morgan gets owned by Ventura who throughout the show countered numerous government propaganda talking points Morgan stuck by.

Morgan simply being at a loss of any logical counter argument tried resorting to the “you are a tin foil hat wearing crack pot” tactic.

Ventura simple responded by embarrassing Morgan on national TV by asking the audience their opinion.

Not a single person in the audience thought Ventura was crackpot points.

Instead the entire audience roared in applause that Ventura was making good points.

Sorry Morgan.

Here’s more from RT on the poll.
