How out of touch is the media? This out of touch.
The head of the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) says the public can no longer trust pool reports now that the reporters included in the small group will be controlled by President Trump’s team.
No longer trust?
Americans continue to register record-low trust in the mass media, with 31% expressing a “great deal” or “fair amount” of confidence in the media to report the news “fully, accurately and fairly,” similar to last year’s 32%.
And those are the better numbers. People trust the Trump administration more than they trust the media.
A new YouGov survey finds that Americans’ trust in the media to state the facts fully, accurately, and fairly is low: Only 29% say they have a fair amount or a great deal of trust. More (44%) have at least a fair amount of trust in Donald Trump’s administration to state facts fully, accurately and fairly.
That’s because most Republicans trust Trump and not even Democrats have that much trust left in the media.
“For years the WHCA had created a format for standards, length, accuracy for the American people that they could trust that those standards created by the folks that actually do the work were understood by everyone and you could trust the reports that were coming out of that,” Eugene Daniels, president of the WHCA said during an appearance on MSNBC.
An appearance on MSNBC. Enough said.
The public shouldn’t trust media pool reports because the public can’t and shouldn’t trust the media. The media has yet to grasp the fundamental fact that the public, with complete justice, distrusts it.
I disagree.
The media doesn’t care, period. Nothing will change that even if their presses and studios are shut down.
Maybe it’s an exception to the rule, but Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos just announced a shakeup of the editorial page in the name of “free markets and personal liberty.” This is hardly a cosmetic change since David Shipley, the “woke” editor, felt the need to resign. MAGA won at the polls. Apparently that fact is dawning on a lot of people, including the legacy media.
The LA Times is taking some steps in the right direction too.
Jeff Bozos is just trying to cash in on the Trump juggernaut, that’s all.
The media is the propaganda arm of the DNC. Self-evident in the last 8 or so years.
Been that way for decades.
Yes but they became much more blatant about it when Bareback Hussein Osama came along and went full retard when Trump did.
Been for YEARS can’t stand to Watch that CRAP!!!!!!!!!!
The mainstream media has been a national joke for a long time. They have gained a monopoly on the word “pathetic”.
But it is actually worse than just pathetic, they are a threat to our national security and survival as a country.
Unfortunately, I am equally disgusted with how many people lack the basic level of insight and discernment to see through the lies and persistent ideology of the mainstream media.
This guy is lacking self awareness. On the other hand I never saw a student transfer from the journalism school transfer to the physics department.
Whoa!! Don’t get me started on that issue. In college, I was an engineering major and had a few classes with several journalism majors. We would often get into political debates and to a greater or lesser degree, they were all liberals.
More often than not, they would eschew logic, reason and objective facts and “leap” to conclusions based sole on their feelings. Ultimately, I ran out of patience for their type and so gave up on trying to reason with them.
But there are plenty of journalists around who aren’t instinctively liberal and strive to be reasonable, objective and to the extent possible, unbiased (which is hard to do given what the democrat party has become and is trying to do to us all but I digress.)
It’s for that reason why I enjoy reading FPM and a few other sites like it on a regular basis.
That reminded me of Walter Cronkite. People trusted him back then. But it turned out to be a masterful con.
I did like his New Years’s Eve concerts from Vienna though.
“The most trusted man in America.” The Tet Offensive was a crushing defeat for America and huge victory for the Vietcong, ha, ha Haw! He was just an avuncular version of Dan Rather who probably had a hammer and sickle tattooed on his ass.
The MSM, 10 out of ten MSM journalists agree that they provide accurate and thoughtful information to inform the American people, especially when they are lying, thoughtless, and wildly inaccurate.
The media can’t win if they play that way. We have the internet now and can find out for ourselves and we can think. We’re not stupid. But even in the USSR there was a saying among the people: There is no news to Izvestiya and no Truth to Pravda. Even they could tell they were being lied to.
Transvestiya — news for queers 🥴
If the MSM had their druthers, they would ban the internet or strictly control what information is accessible via the internet. Lies don’t sell so well when the truth can be easily found out.
Yes, they still control and misdirect internet searches and have all social media except Truth Social and X under their control.
George Orwell was right.
Yes. Orwell would have really loved Donald Trump.
President Trump.. the bright ray of hope Orwell did not bother to anticipate, but he would smile today and breath a sigh of relief like the rest of us. Thank God.
Yes, he would’ve. He hated fascism, totalitarianism, lies and stupidity. He would’ve especially hated our real life Minitrue Media.
The Orwell / Huxley debate is the template. …
Orwell thought we would be forced to conform.
Huxley thought we would be bribed to conform
more or less … but there is the essence.
Huxley and Orwell didn’t debate the “Covid Pandemic” , but nevertheless 30% of Americans capable of Independent Thought did not get VAXXED or refused to get VAXXED, either because they didn’t trust the messengers : the Media, China, Fauci, Birx, CDC, FDA, Pfizer, Moderna , or because the VAX became Mandatory for certain groups like the Military and Healthcare Workers. At the same time All Members of Congress ( and their staffs! ) were given a Pass! That was a huge Red Flag to any reasonably intelligent person. As was the fact that Bill Gates makes no secret of being a Eugenicist whose goal in life is to reduce the population of the World to “SAVE THE PLANET” !!
So why did the Medical profession pick up the baton and run with it? GREED. Aldous Huxley was right…..
Orwell warned against totalitarianism, he didn’t predict it. “Nineteen Eighty Four” was a cautionary tale.
FWIW, just search for the Free Beacon article “MNSBC’s Newest Anchor Eugene Daniels Is a ‘Kamala Harris Expert’ and ‘Walking Beyoncé Encyclopedia’ Who Has Revolutionized the DC Fashion Scene” to see who the just departed head of the White House Correspondents Association, who is going to MSNBC, is. You won’t be sorry you did. Just remember, if you already hate our “news media,” you don’t hate them enough.
I saw that freak on Real America’s Voice and Newsmax. The hosts were laughing and wondering if he’s a tranny, a cross dresser or what. They featured him in a black skirt and black leather go go boots holding a Geisha girl fan. With his beard.
And as the head of the White House Correspondents Agency – a government agency(!) – that freakshow decided who got to attend White House press briefings and which trolls got to asked questions.
I guess President Trump has a different idea about who should be the head of the WHCA, and whether it should continue to exist. It shouldn’t obviously to any reasonable and honest human being.

What’s wrong with the third of the population that trusts the media?
It’s amazing that so many people think my white skin color is killing them
while voting for people who are literally killing them.
Why not? Many people in China supported Mao’s Red Guard and their cultural revolutionaries as they were being eaten by them in the streets.
But the deadliest threat to America is fictional white supremacists, and all us whitey’s get off on oppressing blacks and and trannies and the occasional Latin or islamopithecine.
The Dirtbagocrat Minitrue Media tell us so. I notice President Trump and his new FBI Director, Kash Patel, don’t, though.
In just about all the Elections their always pushing for us Voters to Always Vote for Democrats
