Why do so many people still trust legacy media despite obvious fake news?

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Haven't they been around for the past decade?

Ivermectin and other Covid stories, fabricated and manufactured racial issues, nonsense Trump reporting, covering for Bidens health etc

Its been years of it. There is a reason why legacy media has all time low trust ratings, and figures like Joe Rogan have more viewers than all legacy media combined

It’s easier to lie to people than it is to convince them that they’ve been lied to.

Apathy. When everything is propoganda how do you know

Because Trump will whine about and fire leakers then claim its all fake news. If it's all lies they are leaking, then they'd be charged or sued. Considering how much Trump likes suing people except leakers, it's safe to assume that there's an element of truth the the so-called fake news and Trump has turned into the little boy who cried wolf.

If you're a Democrat, Fox News is fake news. If you're a Republican, CNN is fake news. It's not complicated because Americans aren't smart enough to figure out what's real.

Well, except for all the actual fake news 🤷‍♂️

Thank you. You just proved my point. To MAGA, everything on CNN is fake news.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

I'm not MAGA.
I'm showing the reality that fake news exists

if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Oh my, its my friend ☺

[browsingthroughthe]

Tradition, quality. For me it's never that ugly word on my tongue called trust. Though they pump that word. Lol.

And I like newspapers 📰 🗞️

It's mostly old people that are used to trusting authorities, their doctors, etc.

'tis easiest cause they don't have to think or take responsibility for their own lives.

[strateguy632]

because it told them what they wanted to hear.

[jahaims]

Most humans are stupid

[jshm2]

Because it's bought and paid for media.

What is the “nonsense Trump reporting”?

[FrodoSkywalker007]

"Very fine people"
Where CNN and other legacy media cut up his speech to make it appear he supported charlot

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Charlottesville white nationalists.
It became a multi year story.

Ironically, the SLPC was caught funding white nationalists there 😂

[Opinion Owner]

Wasn’t that the BBC who edited his January 6th speech?
I have never heard of CNN doing something like that.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

That's just one example of many 🤷‍♂️

[FrodoSkywalker007]

It made the rounds everywhere for years 🤷‍♂️
Not really concerned who edited it first.
It was anti Trump material they all needed

[Opinion Owner]

There is also many examples of Trump lying.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

It matter not.
For its not my question.
Legacy media has all time low ratings, slightly above congress.
Why do you think that is?

[Opinion Owner]

I don’t know why but I always check multiple sources about any topic before taking something seriously

[FrodoSkywalker007]

That's for the best.

[Anonymous]

Sorry someone dissed Trump lol

[FrodoSkywalker007]

I don't support Trump.

So,. do you align yourself with the minority that trust legacy media?
