Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner reports:
The trust people in the United
States have in the media is the lowest in the free world and is likely driving
more and more away from traditional news sources, according to a blockbuster
study of international media consumption.
Of 29 free nations surveyed in
the Digital News Report 2021, U.S. “trust” in the media ranked 46th of 46.
And cable TV is the worst,
according to the report from Oxford University and the Reuters Institute for
the Study of Journalism. The 164-page report said, “Cable news channels Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC have some of the highest levels of
distrust.”
. . .
Our household still gathers news from various aggregators (Politipage, Rantingly, Instapundit, News Ammo, etc.). In the past year, we have also reduced our daily television news consumption to one hour (on OANN) – down from three or four.
So it should come as no surprise that some of the foreign press report actual news better than CNN, Fox, or MSNBC. If you can stand it, try this 8 minute clip from Sky News Australia; it’s what the US media won’t report:
