USA: Great News: Gallup Poll: Public confidence in Mass Media at all-time Low

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

USA: Great News: Gallup Poll: Public confidence in Mass Media at all-time Low

[I like this a lot. I am thoroughly enjoying watching the Decline of the Mass Media – both the print and TV media. From my perspective here in Africa, the Mass Media have been twisting the truth for a great many years thanks to the Leftists who seized control of it. The Mass Media has been thoroughly dominated by the Left for a long time, and watching it take a beating is exciting me a lot.

People are turning away from the Mass Media to the Internet for information because they are realising that they have not been told the full truth and now people are looking for it themselves. This trend, I believe is excellent news for the Internet and for the new generation of “Amateur Journalists”. All these “Amateur Journalists” should take heart and should redouble their efforts to use the Internet as a medium for spreading the truth. It is time the Mass Media had some competition. For decades they have been blaring their one-sided propaganda into everyone’s brains and have been frying our minds with Politically Correct Intellectual Communism. Its time that people started thinking more for themselves.

The Left only have themselves to blame for their abuse of the powers which they seized for themselves. But technology is now pulling the rug from under their feet – and I like it a lot. It is about time for some straight talk. The Internet is going to change the World – it has already!! Jan]

NEW YORK Public trust in newspapers and television news continued to decline in Gallup’s annual survey of “public confidence in major institutions” in the United States, reaching an all-time low this year.

Those having a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in newspapers dipped from 30% to 28% in one year, the same total for television. The previous low for newspapers was 29% in 1994. Since 2000, confidence in newspapers has declined from 37% to 28%, and TV from 36% to 28%, according to the poll.

However, some other institutions fared far worse this year, suggesting a broad level of distrust, cynicism or malaise.

Confidence in the presidency plunged from 52% to 44%, with Congress and the criminal-justice system also suffering 8% drops. Confidence in the U.S. Supreme Court fell from 46% to 41%. The 22% confidence rating for Congress is its lowest in eight years, and self-identified Republicans have only a slightly more positive view of the institution than do Democrats.

The military topped the poll with a 74% confidence rating, with the police at 63% and organized religion at 53%. Big business and Congress (both at 22%) and HMOs (17%) brought up the rear.

Looking at the newspaper numbers, of those surveyed, 24% say they have “very little” confidence in them, while 1% said “none.” By far the highest number, 46%, said “some,” with 28% expressing strong confidence.
