"US ranks last among 46 countries in trust in media, Reuters Institute report finds"
quote | Just 29% of people surveyed in the U.S. said they trust the news, compared to 45% in Canada and 54% in Brazil. |

quote | The United States ranks last in media trust — at 29% — among 92,000 news consumers surveyed in 46 countries, a report released Wednesday found. That’s worse than Poland, worse than the Philippines, worse than Peru. (Finland leads at 65%.)
The annual digital news report from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at Oxford also found some improvement in trust in nearly all the countries surveyed — probably thanks to COVID-19 coverage — but not in the U.S. where the low rating was flat year to year.
One explanation, though not necessarily the only one, is the extreme political polarization in the U.S. This study, like many others, found extremely high levels of distrust — 75% of those who identify as being on the right thought coverage of their views is unfair.
Local news, both print and broadcast, fared better than national news. However, the findings for struggling local print outlets were not all good. . . . |

This might "ring a bell" with another Pennock's forum member . . . I'm going to see.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 11-27-2021).]

The media has lost credibility and some, not all outlets simply pump out 40's German style propaganda like cnn and msnbc for example.

Correct. They're pumping out increasing amounts of Allied style propaganda. Germans were thoroughly and completely nationalist. The Allies represented globalism then and now.[This message has been edited by sourmash (edited 11-27-2021).]

No one should "trust" any news, lol.
There is that old phrase trust but verify, but to me that always meant the same as dont trust.

Hahah... you know, I come in here on my lunch break to just read a few articles, see what's going on, and mind my own business... and then you post these things that stir up all kinds of emotions and tear at my male instincts, which increases my heart rate, etc. Sigh... I think I need to drink some decaf tea to calm me down.
