77% of Americans say major news outlets report fake news

[Muhammed]

Even after a couple of dozen indictments, guilty pleas and even jail time, Trump insists Russia is a "hoax".

No, Trump did not insist that Russia is a hoax, you ******* lamebrained idiot.

Comprehension?
It's one sentence that makes one point. A very wrong point.

Poll: 77 percent say major news outlets report 'fake news'

Slowly but surely they are waking up! First you realize they do it THEN you start taking steps to get REAL NEWS from other sources.

Which source do you go to for Real News?

NONE of the mainstream sources ALWAYS get it right. CNN is 100% lies,ABC,NBC,MSNBC is 50-60% lies. I use RT,Breitbart,ZeroHedge,Daily Caller, and numerous other sources...I even use some far left sites at times but not on a regular basis because I am not left wing but on SOME issues we agree. I know there are others I use but I can't name them off top of my head. I follow news from Australia,Canada,Europe,Asia etc.

First thing Hitler did is discredit the press... You said it yourself, you would use Russian TV over pulitzer prize winners...

You have lost sense of reason...

Lets put it this way... Is Politifact wrong when it reports lies said by Trump...

These are three statements from Trump, are you trying to state they are true?



DONALD TRUMP
"In many places, like California, the same person votes many times. You probably heard about that. They always like to say 'oh that's a conspiracy theory.' Not a conspiracy theory, folks. Millions and millions of people."

Yes I think that neuroscience can explain a lot of it. But most of it can be explained as simply bigotry.

I'd side with 'bubba voters' Dud.....

1. The Dunning-Kruger Effect:

Some believe that many of those who support Donald Trump do so because of ignorance — basically they are under-informed or misinformed about the issues at hand

Trump literally tweets 'fake news', and these sorts roll right over for him to scratch their bellies....

MAGA is just regurgitated Hope & Change

about the only dif is cultivating hate vs. hope

In Germany, it is true, Hitler did discredit the "presse".

In America?

The press did it all by itself.

77% of Americans say major news outlets report fake news


^Fake news.


Your poll doesn't specify which outlets the respondents had in mind when answering.
Fox is a major news outlet.

Read the sources.

I read them. It doesn't specify.
Only 25% even took it to mean "factually incorrect information"

"The findings also showed Americans diverging on what constitutes "fake news," with 65 percent saying it applies broadly to the editorial decisions outlets make over what topics to cover and 25 percent more narrowly defining it to apply only to the spread of factually incorrect information."


How does the editorial choice of topics constitute fake news if the information reported is correct?


This poll is a mess and doesn't reflect anything more than 3/4 of respondents agree there are problems.

Then use the link to the actual report: 'Fake News’ Threat to Media; Editorial Decisions, Outside Actors at Fault | Monmouth University Polling Institute | Monmouth University

T"he Monmouth University Poll also finds that Pres. Trump is trusted less as source of information than three cable news outlets – except if you ask Republicans. Nearly half the American public (48%) trusts CNN more than Trump, compared with one-third (35%) who trust Trump more than CNN and another 13% who trust both equally as a source of information. The results are similar when Trump is pitted against the left-leaning MSNBC – 45% trust MSNBC more, 32% trust Trump more, and 16% trust both equally. The right-leaning Fox News also bests the president as a trusted information source – 30% trust Fox more and 20% trust Trump more, although a plurality of 37% trust both equally."

It still makes no sense given the definition of "fake news" used by respondents.

Editorial choices is an example of bias, not factually incorrect information.

Fox still comes in last among the outlets and the president last over all despite the flaws.

You all should not be so quick to tout the results.

But that´s apparently what people consider fake news. Take this thread for example. The OP claims that people "wake up" but does not mention that the same people distrust Trump even more then the media. That makes the impression on the readers that people have substantially changed their minds, when actually nothing has changed. This is fake news.

I've never seen a poll that says people distrust Trump more than the media.

Americans' Trust in Mass Media Sinks to New Low

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Americans' trust and confidence in the mass media "to report the news fully, accurately and fairly" has dropped to its lowest level in Gallup polling history, with 32% saying they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media. This is down eight percentage points from last year. ​
