Re: “And, I find it interesting that less than a third of America believes the 'mainstream media' - to be more accurately described as 'Lying media scum'.” Isn't it curious that articles such as this one never mention that the 'mainstream media' consists of just five organizations? It's a small enough number that media supported conspiracies really do become possible.

In the 1980s, US mainstream media consisted of more than 80 organizations. Getting them to cooperate on selling an opinion to the American public would have been impossible. I think we need to go back to that. All five media entities should be broken up.

I found the article. From the new yoke slimes . . .

>>>
Republican distrust of news may be helping election misinformation spread.

http://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/12/technology/republicans-distrust-news-media.html

Research from Oxford University’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism has found a long and steady decline in trust in traditional media among more conservative Americans. In its place, they are increasingly relying on right-wing media outlets like Breitbart News and One America News and conservative pundits with a history of spreading falsehoods.

From 2015 to 2020, trust in media fell from 25 percent to 13 percent among conservative-leaning respondents, according to the institute’s annual poll on news habits. Among left-leaning respondents, trust grew slightly, to 39 percent from 35 percent, according to the latest results, which were published in June.

The declining trust in news has been years in the making

Article does continue.
And, I find it interesting that less than a third of America believes the 'mainstream media' - to be more accurately described as 'Lying media scum'.
