There has been a total collapse in trust in media in the US and globally.

In your opinion, what have been the greatest influences on this lack of trust?

I like how some blame Trump, when the media is largely against Trump in its reporting. Very interesting 🤔
Cat pooped on the bed? TRummpp
Fly in your coffee? TTRRRUMPPP
😂 it's comical
Then others denying reality, because stats hurt your feelings.

TDS is certainly going to be studies for years to come.

The fact that you can determine the demographic of the viewers by the sponsors of the network.

Watch Fox News, then watch the commercials.

Now watch MSNBC and then watch their commercials.

You can deduce the age, gender, lifestyle that view their content. And when you realize this you realize the news is not really the news anymore. There really is little to no journalistic integrity anymore. Sure, both will report the story in THAT aspect they're the same. But they'll put their company's spin on it to tell you how you're supposed to feel about it. Because they're selling you a product. Before the commercials come on and sell you the product. They already KNOW what you want to hear. And if it doesn't fit you or that narrative at all, it doesn't get reported.

But people have become so entrenched in their camps it was a couple decades before they looked up an realized all this. Now the ones that wake up from this qusi-matrix that has been built don't know who they can trust anymore because there is no free press anymore.

Simple, their entire program is profit driven. The truth doesn’t matter at all anymore. They are paid to sell their narratives to people, not to inform us of who, what, where, why and when.
They’re making plenty of money though. So all you “capitalism is perfect” idiots should have no problem with the state of the media. All things are acceptable in the name of profit! Praise be to the almighty currency!

Mainstream media belongs to corporations. This lead those corporation make pressure on journalists and influencers. Even those controlled opposition media are just there to farm attention and try to gain trust of people who disagree with mainstream, but in really important topics they never divert from mainstream narrative.
Would you trust someone who just exists to manipulate you in a less or more sophisticated way?

[Paige2006]

Not being truthful and not taking a neutral position

[DryGermanGuy]

There is no collapse of trust in the media. Unless you are a kook who believed in the arrests and trials of Obamina (for forging his birth certificate), Biden (for stealing elections) and Hillary Clinton (for... whatever). Then yes, the right-fringe media has fooled you.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

🤦‍♂️

[strateguy632]

Because they made a fuss about cherry trees but it was just for sensation. Same pattern. Said israel bombed a hospital for sensation before checking. Later apologized for false. Again and again and again.

[6942Dantheman]

Most if not all reports since 2019 election has been found to be false.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Fake news is certainly extreme

[Just_Ken]

Being caught deliberately lying, the corporate intrests and of course the obvious political ideological propoganda.

The BBC being caught lying about the Jan 6th thing

[fishbone77]

The constant lying and propaganda pushing. It's been going on for decades.

[MrChinaski]

The arse fell out of the journalism business model c.2000 when the internet took their classified revenue... and then a couple of years later their corporate advertising revenue.

[canamlusciouslad73]

Some fault belongs to the media, but most to the rise of populism and the common woman/man, who disputes knowledge and ridicules the learned as "elites" and the press as the elites' house organ.

[AngryCarl3]

You don't think the rise of populism was caused by the media?

[Cidknee]

Mass derangment syndrome.
😅

It's that leftist propaganda they spew

[exitseven]

They have been lying to us for more than a decade

[exitseven]

Look at the stories that are omitted in the mainstream media. Fox was the only news outlet that showed the invasion at the southern border. The rest of the news stayed away from the border. Nothing to see here folks was their story. The fake news did not cover the Hunter /Biden laptop story and covered up the corruption by the president in the days before the election. Then there is thios story
nypost.com/.../
This story was not covered by either the Boston Globe or any of the local TV stations. If you wanted to find out about it you had to look in a newspaper thst is from New York.

[jahaims]

Never trusted the media

[NathanDavis]

Trump

[FrodoSkywalker007]

It collapsed globally and among all political views. Try again

[NathanDavis]

he started the trend... everyone else copied it

there are entire shows and networks, dedicated to Trump's every day bullshit on places like Australia, Europe, Argentina and elsewhere

USA, Trump, Republicans started... the rest of the world follows

[NathanDavis]

and yes, Democrats do it as well... Trump just does it better

he's definitely the best at bullshitting, that's for sure

[FrodoSkywalker007]

So media lies caused it?
Seems to me anti Trump reports exist on nearly all networks. 😂

Or are you saying, people around the world trust Trump? 🤔 (which is also a lie).

Try again. Your TDS is showing.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

So Democrat controlled media caused collapse?
Democrat lies?

[NathanDavis]

trust is about truth, facts, confidence...

and if we're truly about it... neither Republicans nor Democrats are honest parties, they both lie, they both manipulate for gain... all politicians do that

when Trump came about to be, back in 2014... there was a big switch, and everyone took a side

for simplification, let's say CNN took the Democrat side, and FOX News took the Republican side... and then it became about that

not truth, not facts, no confidence in their objective, neutral approach...

the rest of the world copied such dynamics

[FrodoSkywalker007]

That's precisely what it is.
Fox News is the only pro conservative outlet
The rest are liberal 🤷‍♂️
Surely can't have anything to do with fake news?
"Very fine people on both sides"
"Hands up don't shoot"
"Mostly peaceful protest"

[NathanDavis]

fake news was big part of it, yes...

also misleading ones...

for example, that time in which CNN had to paid MILLIONS to that kid who was "just standing there"... but CNN decided to push such an agenda which was obviously partisan, and not objective at all

most sane people can't trust stuff like that

ALSO

stupid ass commercials everywhere...

[FrodoSkywalker007]

There you go.
Think of when Nick Shirley reported mass fraud in Minnesota. CNN covered it up, just for 100 to be arrested 🤷‍♂️

[Pterodon]

Liberal bias

[Anonymous]

Trump lies

[FrodoSkywalker007]

? What?

[Opinion Owner]

Trump lies that you can't trust the media every time they don't kiss his ass. A lot of mindless followers believe it because he said it.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Its collapsed globally, and among all parties
