Fifty-five percent disapprove making for a -11 percent rating. Gallup also gathered approval ratings for U.S. hospitals, schools and daycares, state governments, employers, government health agencies such as

I have stopped watching any TV news, even Fox. Media is the enemy.

The 24/7 media game during the corona virus pandemic has been to interview large numbers of doctors, politicians, and sometimes unqualified people who they locate out in the general public, obtain differing opinions, and then create as much controversy, and sensational reporting as possible, much of it fake, with some of the reporting even based upon propaganda coming out of China, Iran, and Russia that is intended to be adverse to the USA, the US Government, and cause as much general confusion across the country as possible. It appears that the media could care less about the accuracy or appropriateness of their reporting, besides the politicized bent to their reporting, are attempting to gain viewers through sensationalism, to jack up their ratings, so that they can charge more for advertising and commercials.

If they are disapproving, that means they are still watching. Americans, boycott them...now.

Anyone who watches CSPAN (which airs the daily briefings in their entirety, including the questions from members of the press) will absolutely hate the (grandstanding, off point, arrogant, rude, self-important) press. It is also very enlightening to watch the entire briefing, and then to watch how the briefing is covered by the networks and the cables, i.e. the press cherry picks, distorts what the President said (probably edits the tapes), it is just disgusting.

I have not watched national networks -- incl. FNC -- for months, and can barely tolerate the local news channels.
For example, I want to scream each time I hear a report that so-and-so country has surpassed Communist China in number of deaths. Don't these "journalists" realize that the ChiComs stopped reporting real data many weeks ago?? That their current numbers are mere bee-ess????
We have met the enemedia . . . CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC . . . and they are out to destroy our Country!
Oh, and the "World Health Organization" has proved how useless it is to anybody, basically parroting whatever information the Chinese Commies give to it.

#1 Try OANN (One America News Network). They sometimes come across as amateurish, but seem more accurate than others.
I wonder how much worse the news media would rate if we actually answered the phone.

The media is still trying to kill us in our sleep by doubling down on the Political Correctness. When someone in the MSM gets the nads to call it the Chi Com Flu, then I will believe they are not all communist agents.

Not surprising. Here in San Diego, the network evening TV newsreaders are all hysterical dingbats or metrosexual nancy boys...

If you do it the way the media has done polls since at least the nineties, add at least 10 points to that poll and you get somewhere in the 65-70% of Americans are totally torqued at the media right now.
