Distrust in media hits record high
By: Andy Barr
September 29, 2010 07:27 AM EDT

Fifty-seven percent of Americans do not trust the news media to accurately and fairly report the news, a new high according to a Gallup poll out Wednesday.

The percentage of Americans who distrust the media has been steadily climbing since the mid 1990s, when distrusts in the news media rated hovered around 45 percent.

Now, only 43 percent have a “fair amount” or a “great deal” of trust in the media, the lowest point since Gallup began rating.

Perhaps one of the leading factors for American distrust in the media is the high percentage who believe that reporting tilts too far in one ideological direction or the other.

Forty-eight percent believe the media is too liberal while only 15 percent of find that it tilts too conservative. Just 33 percent believe coverage is “just about right.” ...................>>>>.................>>>>...............http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0910/42874.html

Well when most of the media consists of Hollywood reports....and the rest are COMMENTATORS....who could.....does anyone just report without
embelishment....it's as if the Nazi mind control advertising has taken over the AMERICAN FREE PRESS.......keyword-free.....and that also means without
their opinion attached......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

REALLY??? How can it be?????


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
