We've known that the alleged trust of the Mockingbird media by the public has been in the toilet for some time. However, why do so many who say they don't believe the media continue to believe all sorts of lies they tell?

Tyler Durden has the latest on the lack of trust by the public of the CIA-controlled Mockingbird media.

Good news is hard to come by in this late-stage American empire, but a new poll offers a ray of hope, finding that Americans' trust and confidence in mass media is at an all-time low.

Only 31% of Americans have a "great deal" or a "fair amount" of trust in mass media "when it comes to reporting the news fully, accurately and fairly," according to a Gallup poll conducted in early September. A greater number of Americans -- 36% -- say they have no trust at all.

Going back to when Gallup first asked the question in 52 years ago, trust was highest in 1976, topping out at 72% -- more than double current levels. Meanwhile, the percentage expressing complete distrust has soared from single digits in '76.

Time and time again, mass media has fully earned those low marks -- from cultivating the lie that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, promoting the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, echoing false narratives undergirding the unscientific, tyrannical, and ultimately disastrous Covid regime, and covering up President Biden's mental collapse, just to name a few. Social media has likely played a role, as it often provides Americans with information that contradicts mass media narratives -- or provides information that mass media ignores altogether.

Far fewer Republicans than Democrats have a great deal or fair amount of trust in media, by a 12% to 54% margin. However, even Democrats' trust has fallen significantly, from 76% during the Trump presidency. Expect that number to keep falling as older Democrats die off. "Young Democrats trust the media far less than older Democrats do: 31% of Democrats aged 18 to 29 versus 74% of those aged 65 and older have a great deal or fair amount of confidence," reports Gallup.

By a thin margin, mass media is the least trusted of 10 major civic and political institutions evaluated in the Gallup survey, edging out the US Congress, in which only 34% of Americans have a fair or high degree of trust and confidence. State and local governments had the best showing.
