Marc....the trust has been reduced a huge percentage with the media and politicians. Deeply religious people and many people in the country have their ways as anyone else. But the yokel level with politicians has dropped. Getting away with things that Progs do is now scrutinized. Whether it makes a difference or not we see the Prog Socialist agenda viciousness against them the last dozen years or so.
This "media trust" thing to me is a bunch of
hogwash.
Any adult paying attention realizes that the corporate white media is, and has been, a
joke cemented since the Bush II regime. What the hell do you expect from these people/entities?
And are you as critical of your
preferred media outlets? If the answer to the latter is "no" then you're a hack and a part of the "problem" you claim exists.
Your wails, cries and moans are falling on deaf ears dude. Seriously.
