59% of Republicans Believe the Media Is ‘Fake News’
A majority of Republicans say they have no trust in the mainstream media -- a figure that has doubled since Trump first ran for office
Dems and reps are essentially in two different realities now - what one side consumes to other is fake news. Everything around them is explained and interpreted diametrally different and division increases every day. A lot of blood will be spilled to recover american society from this sorry state.
If Fox News claims to have the highest ratings doesn't that make them the mainstream media?
I'm surprised it's that low.
I’m less concerned with what they think is fake than what they think is real.
In a shocking coincidence, it just so happens that 100% of the fake news is stuff they don't like and all of the real news just happens to be everything they agree with. Truly an incredibly coincidence.
Tbf, the media they consume is full of fake news. When challenged, they even say themselves that they are just "entertainment"!
It's become that now, because of trump, and the news' failure as journalists. They're basically complicit, and won't report plainly.
oders hospital to be stuffed with puppies and blown up
"In a spectacular, controversial move indicative of the president's unusual presentation style..."
Pussies. They think their job is to have a certain news-like tone, instead of understanding reality which is that their job is to tell the god damn news.
Republicans should be excluded from any serious conversation on policy. They are not serious and should be taken seriously
Does this include the leftists that know mainstream media is biased though? Because I don't trust the media to report accurately, however I try to combat that by looking at multiple news sources with varying biases rather than fuckin youtube
Do these muppets not realize that Facebook and YouTube are also The Media™?
As TheWrap has previously reported, the decline in trust in the mainstream media has led to more people turning to YouTube for news.
I'm shocked! "media" is plural, ya'll.
for this article, "mass media" and "mainstream media" are defined as "newspapers, tv, and radio" because we're all 90 years old
Most of the MSM is in the bag for corporations, hence on the side of the cons, so I never understood why the far right thinks they are liberal.
But they tend to be delusional about a whole lot of things.
This is the roughly 30% of America that is immovable in every Trump poll ever. They are dug in and have deliberately decided to never think critically again.
We haven't talked about Rupert Murdoch enough
99% of republicans are dumber than dogshit and constitute a loss to humanity.
you can either believe trump, or literally anyone else. not both
59% are morons. The other 41% are just idiots.
Faux Spews, "Mission Accomplished"!
