Wonder why most of the media aren't trusted?

More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money — either personally or through companies or groups — to the Clinton Foundation. It’s an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.  CNBC


  Wonder why most of the media aren't trusted? - American Thinker 
" Because most of the media continues to show how much they are in the tank for Joe Biden.  This week, Republicans have shown millions of dollars in transfers to the Biden family from China, and yet it doesn't make the nightly news.

"Always remember these two big lies from Joe where he says he has never made any money from a foreign source in his life.

“I have not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life,” Biden said, pointing to 22 years of tax returns he has made public as proof.

Biden has long maintained he never discussed business with his son, other than telling him, “I hope you know what you’re doing.” Emails reportedly found on the laptop and other subsequent developments have cast new doubts on that claim, though

"Hunter gets paid millions from a corrupt company in Ukraine for a no-show job and the media and other Democrats didn't care. 

"Joe bragged about blackmailing Ukraine with a billion dollars in taxpayer money if they didn't fire a prosecutor investigating the company that paid Hunter millions -- and the media and other Democrats didn't care.

"The media and other Democrats not only didn't care about the pure corruption and kickbacks from Ukraine, but Trump was also impeached for even asking about it.". . .

US just finished dead last among 46 countries in media trust — here’s why | The Hill   "The U.S. media is the least trustworthy in the world, according to a comprehensive new Reuters Institute survey encompassing 46 countries. 

"Yes, you read that right. The country with among the most resources in this arena

– human, technical and otherwise – finished dead last. Finland ranked the highest, with a 65 percent trust rating. In Kenya, the trust rating clocked in at 61 percent. 

"But here in the U.S.A., the home of global media giants including the New York Times, Washington Post and CNN, we’re trusted by a whopping 29 percent of those reading and watching. 

"Is anyone really surprised? Because in looking at polls over the past few years (even pre-Donald Trump) we’ve been trending in this dubious direction for some time. ". . . 

But it wasn’t always this way. Back in 1976, in the days of anchors such as Walter Cronkite, John Chancellor, David Brinkley and Roger Mudd, nearly three-quarters of the country trusted the media, according to Gallup

Fast forward to 2021, and the likes of Chris Cuomo, Jim A
costa,
 Brian Williams and Yamiche Alcindor are given the same prestigious titles of anchor or correspondent.
