Mel, you are correct, but I've been at the point for years where I'm annoyed when I hear someone "whine" and being "outraged" about the press not being fair. Either they should offer some constructive ways to deal with it or STFU.Originally Posted by Mel Maki
It is so one-sided. So much that I don't respect the reasoning of people that disagree.

Mel, I just wonder what percent of the US adult population actually trusts the media?Originally Posted by Mel Maki
There is no way to stop it. Free enterprise and businesses pick where their ratings are highest. I also think people that want Fox to go away are narrow-minded.

Jim, thanks for the information. I guess the Democrat high approval rating is somewhat like members of the USSR Communist Party's approval of Pravda.Originally Posted by James Brown
Hi Darian and Mel:
Gallup and others track this. Trust in the media is fairly low.
Not surprisingly, Republicans trust the media much less than Democrats.

It's pretty easy to trust multiple sources when they are basically nothing more than mouthpieces for the DNC.Originally Posted by James Lacey
Darian,
According to the same article posted by Jim, your analogy is precisely backward.
Fox News is the only national news source with majority-level trust from Republicans, while majorities of Democrats trust six national news sources.
Republicans are generally much less trusting of news outlets and reach majority-level trust only for one additional source: Fox News. Conversely, majorities of Democrats trust 10 of the 15 sources, and at least half of independents trust eight of them.
It's the Republicans who ignore dissenting opinions and trust only one news source that is arguably America's version of Pravda.

James, I think you misunderstood my referencing Pravda. I don't know if there were any other news sources allowed in the USSR rather than Pravda, but the MSM of multiple sources is a monolith, essentially like Pravda. How often do you hear the leftist idiots in the media from various networks all use the same words or phrases in a story? It's almost like they are all getting a command from a higher source. Were you aware that they do this? It's really comical. Rush points this out occasionally.Originally Posted by James Lacey
So, you go from accusing Democrats of being mindless communist slaves who trust only one state-media news source. Then when called out on that bull-shit, you instead pivot to claiming that all news sources other than the state-media news source Republicans trust are just mouthpieces for the DNC. I've seen plenty of goal-post moving in my day, but that is an amazing 180-degree pivot.

Rod, I realize that about the USSR.Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
You listen to mainstream media so you know that for a fact? Rush points this out and that makes it a fact. The fact is you don't know what you're talking about...
And, by the way, it hasn't been the USSR for decades, and the Russian Federation has more than one news source...
I'm using the old USSR and Pravda as an example. Rod, Rush isn't the only one pointing this out about the MSM. It is a fact that they do often use the same phrases. Many years ago, in reference to an individual, they got on this kick of using the word 'gravitas'. They were like a bunch of parrots. It really is very amusing.

James, if you are inclined to think that you are receiving valuable and pertinent information from the sources you mentioned, so be it. I, personally would have a problem with them shaping my view of the world. I occasionally try to stomach NPR, but with little success; it reminds me of listening to a group of college kids.Originally Posted by James Lacey
Darian,
I get my news from a multitude of sources, and I can tell you unequivocally that you are wrong. The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, The Atlantic, and so forth and so on all have extremely varied viewpoints, especially when it comes to opinion pieces. For example, The New York Times recently had an opinion piece that said that despite what Biden says about the University of Delaware not having personnel records, that he should allow apolitical judges access to the records to look for anything related to Tara Reade. I assure you, that what you call the MSM is not a monolith.

Rod, Rush is really an entertainer. He would play numerous audio clips of various newscasters from different networks all using the same phrases. It was mostly phrases used to describe something critical of Trump. Early last year(?) when efforts were made to get more funding for border security, Democrats in Congress and their media lapdogs were all using the same term "manufactured crisis" in their criticism. That's a very mild example.Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
Rush isn't the only one pointing this out? Rush is an opinion commentator and what other opinion commentators did you have in mind?
The "old" USSR and Pravda have nothing to do with American news sources and never did...

Rod, do I detect a bit of "anger" in your responses?Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
Darian, Why don't you try fact-checkers instead? Oh I forgot, they're all leftist, biased, DNC/political hacks. Nothing like the likes of Rush, Hannity, and the rest of the Fox news "commentators"...
