Only 31% of Americans say they have confidence that the press reports news fairly and accurately

For the third consecutive year, the number of Americans who claim to completely distrust the media remained higher than those who trust it. The new poll, however, demonstrated a slight drop, with 36% of respondents expressing complete distrust versus 39% in 2023.

A large gap remains between Republicans and Democrats, with only 12% of the former expressing trust in media reporting against 54% of the latter. However, the partisan gap has actually been narrowing in the last couple of years. According to data aggregated by Gallup, in 2022, for instance, some 70% of Democrats expressed confidence in the media.

We must continue our efforts to educate the masses, increasing numbers of Democrats are becoming aware of the propaganda because of the water carrying for the zionist genocide of the Palestinian people.

A lot of that distrust is because a signifcant proportion of the electorate (both Democratic and Republican voters) feel the media is not racist and queerphobic enough. The culture of imperialism, colonialism and bigotry runs deep.

From the outside, the Republicans seem more propagandised. They seem to absorb the vibes, even if they say they don’t believe the data points.

It’s the GOP Vs the OGP (Old Gullible Party).

The difficulty is in the range of alternative media for the ones who distrust MSM. If weaning dems off MSM means them turning to the alt right ‘independent voices’, it won’t be good.

You’re right about the need to educate the masses!

It’s kind of unavoidable when they’re lying to your face
