Silvio Canto, Jr. "A year ago, Gallup reported that trust in the media is down. This is the report:
Americans remain largely mistrustful of the mass media as 41% currently have "a great deal" or "fair amount" of trust in newspapers, television and radio to report the news "fully, accurately and fairly." This latest reading represents a four-percentage-point dip since last year and marks the end of improvements in back-to-back years after hitting an all-time low.
"Yes, it was a year ago but I doubt that much has changed. In fact, it may have gone down further.
"Why is the media dropping in the minds of many Americans? Take a look at this story in The Atlantic. According to Deroy Murdock, Jeffrey Goldberg, the author of the story, has four anonymous sources behind the story. On the other hand, President Trump has 21 named ones who've denied the story.
"Furthermore, Americans have a sense of fairness. They don't think that a person should be accused of something like this without a source willing to go public. In other words, every American knows that something like this could happen to them or an anonymous source who tries to destroy a reputation.
"In the end, The Atlantic won't change a single vote. It will give the Trump haters more material to post on Facebook. On the other hand, it will go in one ear and out the other for most voters who see it for what it is."
Are Antifa led by behind-the-scenes masterminds? Perhaps, but their actions don’t seem anywhere near as clever as, say, those of Hong Kong demonstrators. They seem to mostly succeed by having Democratic politicians on their side.
. . . "On the other hand, the press is positively salivating over the prospect of getting some Horst Wessel-type Antifa lowlife, or, ideally, some angelic black youth killed so they can blame it on Trump. If Biden can’t get the job done, the deep state very much wants a Color Revolution in Washington this November and it will gladly sacrifice a few BLM or Antifa thugs to accomplish its ends." . . .
When it comes to attacking Trump, the Atlantic can’t control itself
Our modern reporter class in the mainstream media is the worst of all worlds. They’re hopelessly biased but insist that they’re nonpartisan, and they’re incapable of investigating anything. Watching them at work, it’s a miracle that they can make it from their bedrooms to their kitchens every morning.
