we can’t trust the news media

Only AI can save us from a world of fakes (a world AI is also creating) | InsiderPro

Here’s a little something I missed when it came out three years ago: an Axios poll found that 72% of Americans believed the news media “report news they know to be fake, false, or purposely misleading” (https://thehill.com/homenews/media/394352-poll-72-percent-say-traditional-outlets-report-news-they-know-to-be-fake-false).

And the nooze has labored on it ever since.

In 1976 a Gallup poll found trust in the news media at 74%.

By 2016 that figure had slipped to 32%.

In the 2018 poll, even 53% of Democrats conceded that the nooze lies at least “sometimes.”

Great Scott, what would that figure be today? Does anyone who’s not a solid stone-head liberal have any trust in our nooze media–any at all?

Need it be said that it’s really very bad for the public not to have reliable information about what’s going on? But that’s precisely what we don’t have now.

It’s because our (LOL) “journalistic” establishment has thrown in all the way with Far Left Crazy, and hopes to be rich and powerful in a “transformed” America.

I was a newsman once. Today’s so-called journalism makes me ashamed to admit it.

Our free & independent nooze media’s habit of lying whenever it’ll help the Democrat Party has become a threat to public health. How can we proceed wisely, prudently, if we can’t get reliable information?

Why don’t we trust the noozies?

See the clip: “reporters” remove their anti-virus masks as soon as they think the broadcast is over and the cameras are off. We also see some violations of [trumpet fanfare] Social Distancing.

Aren’t they afraid they’ll get sick and die, if they take the mask off? That’s what’s supposed to happen–right? That’s why I have to wear the hot, itchy mask that fogs my glasses; otherwise they won’t let me in the store.

And so, like so many others, I find myself ignorant of the true nature of the Chinese Death Virus From China and its potential for killing us. From supposedly authoritative sources you hear everything from “OMG we’re all gonna die!” to “It’s mostly just a hoax.” And from the media you just hear gloom and doom, with plenty of sturm und drang, every freakin’ day and night.

And meanwhile–when do we get our rights back? They sure got snatched away in a hurry, didn’t they?
