Media is dying

Jeff Bezos, the owner of The Washington Post, wrote an explainer for why The Washington Post was no longer endorsing candidates. It is because media is dying.


"In the annual public surveys about trust and reputation, journalists and the media have regularly fallen near the very bottom, often just above Congress. But in this year’s Gallup poll, we have managed to fall below Congress. Our profession is now the least trusted of all. Something we are doing is clearly not working

Presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election. No undecided voters in Pennsylvania are going to say, “I’m going with Newspaper A’s endorsement.” None. What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias."
 
The fact 30 percent of people still trust in these sleaze bags either a "great deal" or "fair amount" freaking blows my mind!
This was just perfectly stated in this article-
"The ‘garbage’ contretemps is a perfect distillation of why media trust is catastrophically low. These people spent DAYS hyperventilating about a Trump rally pre-show warm-up act insult comic making bad jokes, particularly one about Puerto Rico being a garbage island. They turned it into the LEAD STORY in the country. They insisted it was important, was moving votes, was emblematic of their already-hot ‘Nazi/Fascist’ narrative. Then the sitting President of the United States called the supporters his party’s opposition “garbage” — clear as day, on video — and the EXACT SAME ‘news’ ‘professionals’ immediately heel-turned into doctoring the quote, offering up excuses, explaining why it didn’t matter, or ignoring it entirely. It’s a laboratory pure instance of screaming, humiliating, self-discrediting bias, presented in a helpful and timely side-by-side. They know they’re doing it, and probably sort of hate it — but it’s just too close to an election & they are anxious that their party (D) might lose. They are the activist base of said party. So the hackery must go on. They have no choice. And they know no other way.
 

goldfish demoncrats cant remember 5 seconds ago. They don't remember the Cheney's, they don't remember WMD's, they don't remember the Afghanistan withdrawal, they don't remember Korea, they don't remember Vietnam, they don't remember JFK, they don't remember RFK, they don't remember Malcolm X or MLK, they don't remember lockdowns, vaccine passports, the patriot act, they don't remember anything.
 
All it would take is for the mainstream media to start covering Trump in an unbiased way and demoncrats would have an epic meltdown. Could you imagine if the media actually started covering trump favorably? Demoncrats would probably all turn into vegetables.

Republicans obviously see it and so do independents. It’s literally everyone but demoncrats that see it and folks are leaving that party like crazy. It’s only those stubborn tds folks that are clinging onto these media lies.
