"Media approval ratings are at an all time low and the public is routinely confronted by what ultimately turns out to be ‘faux’ news.
But this is not a surprise because we have been aware of this for some time.
In fact, it all started with Watergate.
Although I was in London in 1972 and never had a chance to vote against Richard Nixon, the Watergate scandal was all over the press in Europe so I didn’t miss a bit of the sordid details.
For the first time ever, however, a major news story made a big deal of the reporters behind it.
The media became the star and even had a major film applauding their work sinking Nixon. All the President’s Men was a film celebrating the two Washington Post reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who then became millionaire authors.
What worried me then about Watergate was the fact that the new powerful media was demanding that all government secrets should be revealed to the public.
I felt this was unwise, and I still do.
Since we were still in the middle of the war in Vietnam, such disclosures would be available to our enemy.
We, the people, do not really want to know everything about the government as long as they are looking out for our security.
...BDS, or Bush derangement syndrome was in full bloom and now TDS or Trump derangement syndrome is fully behind the ‘fake news’ engulfing the mainstream media sources.
If individuals only get their news from the mainstream media, they assume that the Trump administration is in disarray and chaotic.
Trump supporters know that this focus on the negative is emanating from faux news reports. Recently, an article by John Nolte in the Daily Wire, listed how the MSM was caught telling 40 lies. How is the average American supposed to weed out the truth?
Unless one has access to the Internet and certain new cable television stations one will be inundated with misinformation.
I routinely search sites like lucianne.com and the Drudge report to read the articles posted from all sources...(LOTS MORE HERE!)...
Wake up, America!
You’re being had.
Start asking the right questions.
How did the Democrats come up with that 40,000,000 uninsured Americans to pass Obamacare?
When CNN’s Don Lemon asks his panel about how much the Trump family’s secret service is costing taxpayers, ask him where’s his research and why didn’t he question that about Michele Obama’s huge entourage when she traveled?
We need to hold these sycophants masquerading as journalists’ feet to the fire.
We’re mad as hell and that’s why we voted for Trump."
