No, I do not trust most media sources any longer. Honestly. this flap with the Covington students was the final straw for me.

Does anyone TRUST the liberal media any more ?

Good News--yes, Americans trust the media over Trump. And those that trust the media are growing, while, alas, those that trust Trump are not.

Epic thread fail.

"...Number of Americans who trust Trump over the media hits a record low...Only 30 percent of people trust the president over the mainstream media, the lowest number over the past 10 months...

NPCs trust Fox News even though it is owned by a man from England, and 30% of its shares are owned by Saudi Arabia.

I don't trust "liberal/free" or any media because it is hard for the rich to be truly liberal and to be upstanding. They will always push their interests. Liberalism and Truth might be one of them sometimes, but most of the time it will be Sensationalism and Mercantilism.

Fox News viewers are the most mislead crowd out there. Look at the studies by the most reputable nonbiased intelligent people.

It wasn't the host of the show, it was a guest - who is a CNN legal analyst - that accused him of that because she assumed he wasn't black.

Not really that big of a deal, statistically speaking she should have assumed a guy she's never seen before was white - us white folks make up ~60-70% of the US population - although it certainly would have behooved her to check out his ethnic background before making the claim and looking foolish.

What would you do if a Brietbart or Gateway Pundit or Newsmax reporter came to your door? Buy more horse manure?

Trust? I trust they're making money. They're just entertainment news, I wouldn't take my facts from there since they're mainly just opinion and bias.

Glenn Greenwald has a good section on media in No place left to hide. He talks about how Edward Snowden detested, and didn't trust the NYT. He believed they tended to work hand in hand with the DC establishment. He went out of his way to avoid the NYT with his NSA issues.

If you read Greenwald, who is a lefty, he sounds much like a Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity on the topic of media.
