65% of voters believe msm is full of fake news

Post by BDKJMU »

"Poll: Majority says mainstream media publishes fake news

Nearly two-thirds of Americans say the mainstream press is full of fake news, a sentiment that is held by a majority of voters across the ideological spectrum.

According to data from the latest Harvard-Harris poll, which was provided exclusively to The Hill, 65 percent of voters believe there is a lot of fake news in the mainstream media.

That number includes 80 percent of Republicans, 60 percent of independents and 53 percent of Democrats. Eighty-four percent of voters said it is hard to know what news to believe online....."

It's the top 64 + 1. The bottom two will compete in a play-in game. Single elimination after that.

You may recall Trump’s remark during the campaign:
“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters.”
He is, however, betting that he can break every promise he made

in the end the truth comes out. Just ask Anthony Weiner.

I've said/written many times that I have been involved in a number of circumstances that were big deal in that national news. Things like Hurricane Katrina's environmental impacts and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. And I've said/written that every time I've been involved in something that made big news the media got it wrong in many respects. Created false impressions.

But what's going on with Republicans right now is embarrassing. They are living in total denial of reality. Republicanism is becoming like a flipping cult.

And that's a shame because a year and a half ago I was looking at the Republican Party as the lesser of two evils. I was looking at it as the only hope for checking the destructive impact of the Democratic Party. Now I have to look at the Democratic Party as the only thing that can save us from the confederacy of nut jobs that the Republican Party has become.

Do us all a favor, John. Abandon the pretense of being a conservative/ libertarian and just register as the hopeless Donk that you are. Take your wife with you. And quit posting. :tothehand:

Look, there is a problem with the thing where 80% of Republicans believe the "fake news" crap. What we've got is a large body of people supporting a major political party who are isolated from reality. That's why we're where we are now with this absolute atrocity and embarrassment as President. It's a serious problem.

A lot of it is fake especially this Russia nonsense, every official they have talked has said there is nothing. Outside of Flynn it is bogus.

Now if they want to investigate Clinton ties , especially uranium deal, then go ahead.

Now Joey, Comey said in his testimony shortly before Trump ditched him that the FBI was investigating possible Trump campaign links to Russia. See http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national ... 83653.html for one spot with an account.

How can you say that crap? I mean really. You have the FBI director saying the FBI is investigating that and you say the "mainstream media" reporting on the possibility is "fake news?"

This is a serious problem with the "conservative" world right now. This thing of immediately labeling stuff you don't like to hear ad "fake news" just because it's something you don't like to hear.

Trump's campaign promise was - he was going to lock her up..?
Why isn't he going after her..?

Her server and emails
and Benghazi and whitewater

Part of the believing the "fake news" crap, as you call it, is seeing it up close and personal in their every day lives. If the media reported news, instead of trying to be the news, it might be different. Trump is a result of this and the media has changed, and gone the wrong way, towards being the news, instead of reporting the news.

And Reuters has been reporting on "Russia" stuff. Like this:

This crap of continuing to let Trump skate and buying his bullshit about "fake news" has got to stop. The big fake in all this is Trump.
