Voters Don’t Trust Media Fact-Checking

[toomuchtime_]

Most voters believe news organizations play favorites when it comes to fact-checking candidates’ statements, but this skepticism is much stronger among voters who support Donald Trump than those who back his rival Hillary Clinton.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 29% of all Likely U.S. Voters trust media fact-checking of candidates’ comments. Sixty-two percent (62%) believe instead that news organizations skew the facts to help candidates they support. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Eighty-eight percent (88%) of voters who support Trump in the presidential race believe news organizations skew the facts, while most Clinton backers (59%) trust media fact-checking. Among the supporters of Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, sizable majorities also don’t trust media fact-checking.

These findings are no surprise given that voters think it's far more likely reporters will try to help Clinton than Trump this election season.

Trump's voters don't trust the truth or facts. Truth and facts interfere with their mass delusions.

Americans used to deeply trust reporters, especially TV anchors. Many historians mark Walter Cronkite's statement that the war in Vietnam was unwinnable as the beginning of the end of that war. Investigative reporters like Woodward and Bernstein were national heroes but now they don't trust them. That's a pretty big change.

If your candidate lies a fuck ton more than the other candidate, he will be found wanting a fuck ton more.

Of course, the deluded rubes who chug his piss interpret this as "media bias".

Reporters were good guys before they became the lefty status quo corporate bad guys. It happened in the 2000 election........channeling Dan Rather, please come in, Dan Rather.........and they have never looked back since.

P.S.........Anderson 'Vanderbilt' Cooper has the next debate covered, bitchez!

Obviously because the news organizations are heavily favoring Clinton.

TRUMP: I visited the moon in 1968, before Apollo 11.

HANNITY: It could happen!

RUBE: I want to bleev it, so it must be true!

SNOPES: FALSE!

RUBE: Snopes is a liberal outfit!

No, its because Trump lies a fuck ton more than Clinton and thus gets called out more. But of course you piss drinkers call this "media bias".

Despite moon rumors, issues with Trump's audio in debate #1 have been confirmed today.

aside from the fact that rasmussen is a republican pollster, i think rightwingnuts have been convinced by their handlers that they can't trust "mainstream media" so therefore can't trust facts.

hence them getting information from the loons at breitbart, drudge, infowars and the like.

I can't give you a date but I think it was the result of the 24 hour news cycle forcing news organization to compete for readers/viewers by publishing more sensational stories rather than more important stories and it got worse as news on the Internet grew. There has long been a question about how much TV news was journalism and how much was entertainment.
