Less than 10% have a great deal of trust in the media. I wonder why.

75% of democrats have a fair amount or a great deal of trust in the media, was that not the ballpark figure?

Thats actually about what it should be at. The world is a complex place and the pace of newsmaking is frantic.

Not everyone has a forum like this were people can seek help from their betters so as to gain greater insight into the topics of the day.

Your welcome.

I'm actually in the group of somewhat trust.

1. No sane person beleived everything they write.

2. I trust most non partisan issues.

3. The US mainstream media is extremely bias to the left.

4. They are basically an arm of the US democratic party.

5.They push the narratives the left and the DNC want them too.

What's funny is that Retard Rod 2.0 is very allergic to facts and claims to see both sides, but it's really both sides of the inside of Trump's ass.

Is there actually any point in doing anything but insulting you? Time and time again you have shown no regard for any facts that run counter to your beliefs (which are most of them, btw). People like you are hopeless, so it's not like any real discussion is possible, let alone warranted.

Jergul, I wonder what percentage of Republicans have in their partisan sources.

Jergul, I found something.

"These questions allowed us to measure things a few different ways. For example, we could examine trust gaps between different groups of people for different news outlets. We found that CNN is trusted by 70% of self-described liberal Democrats, but only 16% of conservative Republicans – a gap of 54 percentage points. Conversely, Fox News is trusted by 75% of conservative Republicans but only 12% of liberal Democrats – a 63-point gap."

So, in a sense your spot on. 75% of people trust their* sources of media.

CNN has issues but it's not even on the same level as Fox News in terms of lying.

The problem is in the question design. "Media" is no longer a neutral term. So it cloaks the republican trust levels.

How much do you trust the news sources you use?

Much better!

Was a poll (yeah I know polls are garbage) that found 30% of the people that list CNN as their source for news had not heard about Operation Warp Speed. Five percent of that thirty also said if they had known about Operation Warp Speed they would have voted for President Trump instead of President-elect Biden.

CNN covered Operation Warp Speed. I just did a search and can find plenty of videos. And when the announcements for the vaccine trial efficacies started to roll in, they gave Trump credit for Operation Warp Speed.

I'm not claiming there is no bias, but more that about 30% of the people that took that poll are either lying or retards.

Or 30% that watched CNN, whatever. You get the point.
