Maybe No One Trusts the Media Because Of All the Lies

 Trump waged war on the press, and he won, or nearly won. He persuaded millions of Americans not to believe anything they saw or heard in the non-Trumpified media, including the results of the 2020 Presidential election. The press wasn't silenced in the Trump years. It was censorship by other means

In 1976, seventy-two percent of the public trusted the news media. Today, it is thirty-four percent. Why?

  • The level of media trust has steadily declined since 1976
  • In 2008, the media whored out whatever shreds of its credibility to launch a full-scale cult of personality campaign for Obama
  • Under Obama, media trust dipped to 40 and by 2016 hit 32

The problem is the media is too objective and not biased enough

  • When all it does is scream through a megaphone, "OUR POLITICAL ENEMIES ARE EVIL AND MUST BE BUTCHERED IN THE STREETS" 24 hours a day, then finally public trust in the media will be restored
