Seriously, the Frugal Dad link below shows there is no genuine choice for getting the news as headlines of the past half decade show the public's continuing distrust and disappearing readership. Winnowing media news outlets from 50 to six in 21 years, and manipulating public opinion on a wide range of domestic and international issues, is far easier to achieve as shown in 'the illusion of choice.' The pro - ANTIFA media began losing the public's trust several years before Trump -- he's only put the demise of many of them on a faster track.

Poll: 72% Blame Media For 'Dividing Americans, Spreading Hate'
by John Nolte | 14 Nov 2018
Seventy - two percent of Americans blame the media for dividing the country and spreading hare, according to the Washington Examiner.
"Nearly three - quarters of the country believes that the media is 'dividing Americans' along political, racial, and gender lines, a stunning condemnation of the press, according to a new national survey," the outlet writes.
A fewer number of Americans, two - thirds, say the same about President Trump, the Zogby poll found.
The pollster found that those polled “felt the mainstream media spreads hate and misunderstanding, also felt that President Trump is responsible for the spread of hate and misunderstanding, but more voters overall, and in most sub - groups, blame the media slightly more!”
Even a majority of Democrats, 51 percent, agree.
Those surveyed were asked, “Do you agree or disagree: The mainstream media / President Trump has played a major role in dividing Americans along racial, gender and political lines. This has led to a spread of hate and misunderstanding among some people.”
Only 29 percent of those polled disagreed that the media spread division and hate.
This poll is almost perfectly aligns with a poll released at the beginning of the month where 64 percent of those polled blame the media for dividing the country, compared to just 56 percent who say the same about Trump.
A poll taken in June showed that 72 percent of American believe the media deliberately spread fake news.
Klukowski: Donald Trump Will Win CNN Lawsuit; Constitution On His Side
by Ken Klukowski | 14 Nov 2018
President Donald Trump will win the lawsuit that CNN filed against him on Tuesday after the White House revoked Jim Acosta’s press pass, both because the Constitution does not allow a federal court to issue this kind of order to the White House and because the First Amendment does not protect what Acosta did.
Americans were astounded on November 7, when instead of sticking with questions, Acosta chose to argue with the president in the East Room of the White House over the political and policy implications of illegal aliens attempting to enter this country.

Globalization and The Media
These Six Corporations Control 90% Of The Media In America

Media Consolidation: The Illusion of Choice (Excellent Infographic)
RIP: Over 100 newspapers dumped in year, ads down 50%, circulation hits bottom
The American people are asleep at the wheel. The blame is not totally their’s, but they do bare the brunt of the blame. The mainstream media does not report what is happening within our economy or the geopolitical arena, unless they can spew on and on about the endless rainbows, unicorns and how “America is the greatest and Putin is the devil.” No depth of coverage, nothing of real value reported, so the American people are left ignorant and wanting for truth. When you work 2 or more part time jobs, are struggling with keeping a roof over your head and the kids need new shoes, it becomes a challenge to seek the truth even though you know the “report” Brian Williams just delivered is a fabricated piece of fantasy. There is almost no truth to be found in the American mainstream media.

Voters Don't Trust Media Fact - Checking
Friday, September 30, 2016
Most voters believe news organizations play favorites when it comes to fact-checking candidates’ statements, but this skepticism is much stronger among voters who support Donald Trump than those who back his rival Hillary Clinton.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 29% of all Likely U.S. Voters trust media fact-checking of candidates’ comments. Sixty-two percent (62%) believe instead that news organizations skew the facts to help candidates they support. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Eighty-eight percent (88%) of voters who support Trump in the presidential race believe news organizations skew the facts, while most Clinton backers (59%) trust media fact-checking. Among the supporters of Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, sizable majorities also don’t trust media fact-checking.
Exposing The 9 Fakest Fake - News Checkers
by Tyler Durden | 02 / 20/ 2018
Since President Donald Trump won the presidential election in November, there’s been an explosion of “fake-news” checker sites, some cloaked behind a veil of anonymity.
In some cases, Americans really have fallen for “fake news.” Just days ago, 20th Century Fox apologized for creating “fake news” sites – such as as the Houston Leader, the Salt Lake City Guardian, Sacramento Dispatch, the New York Morning Post and Indianapolis Gazette – as part of a promotional campaign for its psychological thriller, “A Cure for Wellness.”
Nolte: Google Tape Proves You Cannot Trust CNN, NYT, or Even Fox News (extended excerpts)
by John Nolte | 15 Aug 2018
Although it feels as though every corner of the media has been politicized, there are still a whole lot of people who just want to know what’s going on in the world. These are people like myself (when I’m off the clock) who are news consumers, who want basic information.
Information is important, and therefore the thinking used to be that even if you had to sit through CNN’s hate - fueled activism, the New York Times’ phony sources, and the latest outrage Fox News has dug up to increase your blood pressure, it was worth it because in-between all the spectacle, actual news managed to creep in.
Unfortunately, we now know that is no longer true, we now know the era is over in which CNN, the New York Times, and even Fox News can argue they (at the very least) dutifully inform the public of everything.
We know this era is over because of the Google Tape.
To recap, the Google Tape reveals the following:
- Google co-founder Sergey Brin telling his employees: “it’s worth being very vigilant and thinking about all these issues, what we can do to lead to maybe a better quality of governance and decision-making and so forth [emphasis added].”
- Company CEO Sundar Pichai sees AI and machine learning as a “big opportunity” to fight “misinformation.”
- Both men reference Google’s “Jigsaw” project, which hopes to fight extremism in part by using machine learning to redirect suspected extremists to handpicked content aimed at changing their opinions. This was pitched as a tool to fight the Islamic State — but here, Google executives are talking about it in relation to law-abiding voters.
- Company CFO Ruth Porat promises that Google will “use the great strength and resources and reach we have to continue to advance really important values.”
- Kent Walker, VP of Global Affairs, says of the Deplorables defying the globalist elite: “we have to work so hard to ensure that it doesn’t turn into a World War or something catastrophic, but instead is a blip, is a hiccup.”
And so, imagine for a moment you are in possession of video that uncovers a massive conspiracy at its genesis; video of a corporate executive meeting at one of the most powerful companies in the world as a plot is hatched to manipulate their product as a means to deceive the public as a means to control information as a means to control what people believe as a means to shape the outcome of elections.
113 Journalists Surveyed On Why They Are So Despised
July 24, 2016
We sent the following navel-gazing questionnaire to 113 colleagues working in print, television, and digital media, asking that they use the opportunity to air their grievances and bare their souls, and promising anonymity in exchange for (what we hoped would be) actually candid answers to our searching and occasionally uncomfortable questions.

'Existential Threat': Vanity Fair Points Out Major Problem Facing NYTimes And WaPost
Grace Carr | 07 / 31 / 2017 12:14 PM
Vanity Fair designated the growing number of people who don't trust what they read in The Washington Post and The New York Times as an 'existential threat' to the two media organizations in the the September issue of the magazine.
"[A]n existenial threat is already apparent: many Americans won't believe a thing either newspaper says, no matter how great the accuracy, attention to detail, or fair - mindedness," he writes. "The sharp uptick in Times and Post readership may obscure a larger cultural change. Warren cites a 2017 Pew poll showing that only 20 percent of adults trust what they read from national news organizations like lthe NYT and WaPo.
Losing: The Failing New York Times Set to Lay Off More Staff, Including Reporters
24 Jun 2017
Peddling fake news does not, in fact, equate to a long - term successful business strategy, reporters for The New York Times are learning the hard way.
The Gray Lady, which many in the media class consider the pinnacle of the information business, is struggling so much financially that reporters are expected to be laid off from the publication, along with many editors, the New York Post reports.
Kelly reported that as part of an ongoing restructuring at the Times—which has been happening since early 2017—a whopping 109 copy editors have already been terminated while only 50 new jobs are likely to be created as the paper shifts its focus to digital. Kelly wrote:
Walking into the current administration, the legacy establishment media like the Times and its broadcast allies like CNN have wielded the most control over the media. But CNN finds itself under significant scrutiny, as it was forced as a result of a Breitbart News investigation just this week to retract an embarrassingly inaccurate hit piece on the president and his associates.
This is just the latest example of CNN under fire in the new world of media—while the Times keeps draining away in the long term. Part of the reason why the media target the president so much and so viciously is because he represents a threat to their continued business models—thus their cushy, elitist lifestyles could come to an end if such a change in the landscape occurred. President Trump is a threat to them, in large part, because he calls them out directly.
Closing Paragraphs
“If you read the New York Times, if you read the New York Times, it’s—the intent is so evil and so bad,” President Trump said in the Oval Office interview. “The stories are wrong in many cases, but it’s the overall intent. Look at that paper over the last two years. In fact, they had to write a letter of essentially apology to their subscribers because they got the election so wrong.”
He also said about the Times that “they write lies.”
As for CNN, President Trump correctly identified them as a “very fake new.
