Trust for mass media among the American people is at its lowest point in 50 years, according to new polling from Gallup.
It’s very easy to see how this happened.
The vast majority of people in media act like they are nothing more than Democrat activists. They pushed anti-Trump lies like Russia collusion and the ‘fine people on both sides’ hoax for years and have never apologized.
People like CNN’s Jake Tapper covered up Biden’s obviously declining mental state for years and is now putting out a book on the topic, as if he had nothing to do with it.

Actually there is something below zero. I look upon the NYT as the bellwether. Whatever they print on A1 or Op-ed, what is true, beneficial or harmful is exactly the opposite. Through the decades the Times has never let me down.

Not just polling data.
The MSM is hemorrhaging money, high paid talking heads are being laid off, and the survivors are barred from the WH.

Tapper is in the same class as Jim Acosta (None). Some of these people are either misinformed, say stupid things to impress their friends or are downright evil and vicious, probably kick their dogs at home. I'm sure Putin, Kim or Xi could use some more help in their own propaganda organizations. They should be encouraged to apply before all of the positions are filled.

The corrupt media accomplished a few things. They convinced many people that Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were actually good presidents and they helped launch Rush Limbaugh's career into superstar status. So they have that going for them.

"The media did this to themselves."
Yes, and enthusiastically so. They revel in their superiority and pompousness.
Such slow motion loss of trust will be impossible to fix because it has become structural. It is what media has become. This becomes clear when media tries to confront obvious successes by Trump, like limiting illegal border crossings, and sound like morons in doing so. They cannot see and refuse to acknowledge truth. Part of may be because they HATE Trump, but that alone is disqualifying for media trust. Those who HATE cannot speak the truth.
Further, it has reached the point that output from legacy media is automatically distrusted. Many people will not even read it because it is a waste of time. Their circulation/viewership is in free fall. AND, there are alternative voices that much more clearly speak the truth or at least viewpoints worth consideration.
The lying legacy media has created aware and alert news consumers, who question what is published. In that atmosphere, the legacy media does VERY poorly and is unlikely to survive.

I ask, once again, the question I have asked here several times before:
Are the Lamestream Media a subsidiary of the Democ'RAT party, or
Is the Democ'RAT party a subsidiary of the Lamestream Media?
and today, a second question:
For many years, on any given day, we have seen the Lamestreams all focus on the same

For many years, on any given day, we have seen the Lamestreams all focus on the same 3 or 4 stories, all from the same viewpoint and often using the exact same words. How many times have we heard the montages of them all saying the same thing?
Years ago, it leaked out that there was a group that called itself 'Journ-O-List' that gave the Lamestreams their talking points every day. That the group existed became known, but who the members were was -as far as I know- never stated.
It is obvious that a similar group exists today. We don't need to see the flames, we can see and smell the smoke throughout the Lamestreams.... the TV news, the papers, the late-night talking heads. Out of 340,000,000 people, we see the same 3 or 4 stories every day, covered from the same leftist viewpoint, and often using the same words.
So, the question is:
Is there a name for today's version of Journ-O-List?
Who runs it?
