The Media is Fake, and the Public Knows

Gosh, so hard to imagine why this would be the case, right? - A new Columbia Journalism Review poll finds that trust in our fake news media has pretty much gone as low as it can go, with the only group expressing a more positive than negative view of the press being wait for it DEMOCRATS. Because of course the group in our society whose personal biases are the same as those reporting and shaping what passes for the "News" these days are going to tend to trust the press.

I don't tend to put too much weight on most polling data these days, since it has become basically as fake as the news media in many instances, but this poll, sponsored by a major university, with a very large sample and a seemingly legitimate, broad cross-section of demographic groups, seems to have more credibility than some random CNN or ABC/WaPo poll.

Perhaps not coincidentally, it is filled with terrible news for the fake media, which by default means terrible news for the Democrats.

Here's a big one: 60% of all respondents - and even 54% of Democrats - believe that the fake "Journalists" who infest our news media today get paid by their sources.

All across the board, the results of this poll portray a humiliating rejection of the fake news media by the American public.

If we had an honest press in our country, a real press establishment that was really playing its intended role as the watchdog for the public interest, the results of this poll would send shock waves through every newsroom in the country.

Instead, the poll is going to pass barely noticed, hardly making a blip in the daily news cycle, just one more bit of real news to be ignored by the purveyors of fake news.
