A Survey from Edelman used exclusively by Axios has been run for several years and it shows what people have to say about the media. This year’s results are not surprising for most but for journalists, this survey has served as a major blow to their pride.
According to Axios:
- 56% of Americans agree with the statement that “Journalists and reporters are purposely trying to mislead people by saying things they know are false or gross exaggerations.”
- 58% think that “most news organizations are more concerned with supporting an ideology or political position than with informing the public.”
- When Edelman re-polled Americans after the election, the figures had deteriorated even further, with 57% of Democrats trusting the media and only 18% of Republicans.
These results are not shocking, the mainstream media is dominated by narratives driven by the DNC in the eyes of most people. Journalists for publications outside of the big networks often have extremely political tirades on social media while still claiming to be arbiters of truth.
Another interesting thing found in this poll was that Americans are more likely to put faith in the CEO of their employer than the media.
When Trump supporters were specifically polled it was found that they were more likely to trust government leaders than journalists. That being said, only 28% of those Trump supporters polled were likely to trust government officials as opposed to journalists who only 21% of Trump supporters said they had trusted.
Journalist are now, busy competing with the world’s oldest profession…❓🤣
So true journalism is dead.
This is not the reason for the 1st ammendant.
It’s none of your business what I watch. But I can tell you it’s none of the above.
Don’t watch or listen to the main-stream news media. Listen to and watch only certain patriotic news. Don’t care to listen to lie after lie and bias from the left wing so-called news media who only give mostly their biased socialist left wing opinions.
