Mainstream Media Achieve Historic Milestone

The mainstream media has achieved a new historic milestone lately.
Only 6% Americans trust them, which means 94% are now asking relevant questions that are pushing them away from the lies and deceptions that mainstream media are all about.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trust in the news media is being eroded by perceptions of inaccuracy and bias, fueled in part by Americans’ skepticism about what they read on social media.
Just 6 percent of people say they have a lot of confidence in the media, putting the news industry about equal to Congress and well below the public’s view of other institutions. In this presidential campaign year, Democrats were more likely to trust the news media than Republicans or independents.
But trust today also goes beyond the traditional journalistic principles of accuracy, balance and fairness.
Faced with ever-increasing sources of information, Americans also are more likely to rely on news that is up-to-date, concise and cites expert sources or documents, according to a study by the Media Insight Project, a partnership of The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the American Press Institute.
They want to be able to navigate the news app or website easily and quickly, without having to wade through intrusive or annoying ads.
“The skill set that journalists have to master is bigger,” said Tom Rosenstiel, executive director of the American Press Institute. That’s because the expectations of news consumers have increased.
The poll shows that accuracy clearly is the most important component of trust.
Nearly 90 percent of Americans say it’s extremely or very important that the media get their facts correct, according to the study. About 4 in 10 say they can remember a specific incident that eroded their confidence in the media, most often one that dealt with accuracy or a perception that it was one-sided.
The news media have been hit by a series of blunders on high-profile stories ranging from the Supreme Court’s 2012 ruling on President Barack Obama’s health care law to the Boston Marathon bombing that have helped feed negative perceptions of the media.

The establishment is definitely feeling the crunch as of late. But, they are still in control of the system, and they are still rigging it.

A New York City elections official has been suspended without pay after a bureaucratic error allegedly resulted in the removal of over 100,000 Brooklyn voters’ names from the city rolls during the state’s presidential primary, according to a report.

Sources told the Daily News that Borough Office Chief Clerk Diane Haslett-Rudianoshe skipped one of the steps meant to stop the system from purging eligible voters. The voting books need to be purged from time to time to eliminate people who pass away, move to new locations or become ineligible for other reasons. This eventually resulted in voters being improperly removed.

She was suspended “without pay, effective immediately, pending an internal investigation into the administration of the voter rolls in the Borough of Brooklyn,” the city’s Board of Elections (BOE) reportedly said in a statement.

This disenfranchisement of 100,000 voters was claimed to have tip the balance towards Clinton’s favor.
So, not only that both parties are owned and controlled by the same puppet masters, the process of selecting party candidates itself is also a game of survival of the fittest.
And as the masses are fully entertained by this periodic game of musical chairs, the Western economy is left burning without the mainstream media telling like it is.
They’re not only in utter denial, but they are wary more of their own irrelevance as the internet-based alternative media is now virtually certified as the new mainstream media.
Humanity has definitely achieved something significant right here. And we can still achieve more if we continue to work together in spite of our cultural differences.

  1. well that’s really good and surprising, when we all thought that it would be the UK that would wake up the soonest, because at the moment a lot people in the UK are swallowing everything that is in the government pamphlet, about there being more jobs created if they stay in the EU, and if there were, they wont be having them, it is total horse manure and anyone with half a brain can see it. the worst thing of all is that the BBC has been the worst at spreading of outright lies and disinformation, as well as one the biggest protectors of the biggest bunch of perverts and paedophiles in the world.

  2. Hello Folks
    And hello Tony, that there is “perversion” in the UK aught not to come as a surprise. As the human nature of the people within the UK, is no different to any other part of humanity, no matter its place in global habitation: Tony, this is meant to suggest that where you live, is just as perverted as anywhere else. Its a common bath we take in a common sewer.
    I’m stating the obvious, wherever there are human beings there too will be found human perversion. I’m not cheering on human perversions by any means, nor am I cheering on (a Culture) a many-faced (Cultures) cultures of Shame, and shame-ings. Why not. Well, as social beings we are individually and collectively open to religious, political, social exploitation because of our fear of public shame, public disgracing.
    The fear of social disgrace and the attendant shame within the local community, is what silently filled the Magdalene Laundries with a slave labour workforce in Holy Ireland. It also allowed for and encouraged the illegal Trans-Atlantic-Adoption trade, to continue in Boston. Even well intentions can make for way for Institutional Corruptions and it trickles down into society at large. as Good Works. Go Figure.
    That the BBC News, indeed any UK made Radio and or TV program doesn’t tell the truth, from Coronation Street to Downton Abbey aught not surprise humanity, but nether should we be surprised to discover that the Russian, Chinese and Indian radio and television media, also tell out and out lies.
    The world media in any and all of its forms has always been a distributor of dogma, doctrine and partisan ideology. Even Movies, the trick is to see it, name it, and get on with the enjoyment of living. Europe, the UK and the USA has never been of a homogeneous mindset. Their many
    divisions have facilitated an invasion-expansionism, colonisation and endless war.
    The New Silk Road, is also made up of merchants and their armed body guards. I wonder, when will the Chinese(gold backed) Yuan fail, some where around 2030, and then its Africa’s turn. Wake up Tony.
    Anthony P Healy.
