[Billiejeens]

The distrust many Americans feel toward the news media, caught up like much of the nation’s problems in the partisan divide, only seems to be getting worse.

That was the conclusion of a “sobering” study of attitudes toward the media conducted by Knight Foundation and Gallup and released Tuesday.

Nearly half of all Americans describe the news media as “very biased,” the survey found.

Once the Millennials took over the news rooms, objective journalism went out the window.

Once again, CNN is a trailblazer.

The media is mostly a bunch of whores. But whores give the people what they want. So, the real question is, why do we want such shitty media? Why does everyone sit slack-jawed in front of their television waiting to be "informed"?

"Objective journalism" is an oxymoron. There is no longer any distinction between news reporting and editorial opinion.

In Trumps second term he should unleash an all out assault on thew media until they get their shit together and fire all of the biased editors and reporters and talking heads....the people have awakened to their bullshit....

The press is and always has been all about who is funding them in terms of what they do or do not report

In fact, if anyone knows the history of the press in the US, it was started by the various political parties that had funds to reach the masses for their own interests.

Money talks, that is, to the masses.

It is up to our legislators to get some of the crap going down fixed. And if they are too big of pussies to do that or have been bought and paid for by people/those who they shouldn't have sold out to they need to step aside and we need to get people in there that will clean up this lawless type shit going on. Twitter, facebook and youtube have all blocked Mike Adams and Natural News or any related websites along with many others. Hell facebook has even banned me somehow from seeing recent sales posts from friends, and recent postings of all kinds... grgrgrgr...
