Even MAGA Is Up in Arms Over Trump’s ‘Flying Grift’ From Qatar
People's distrust of the media stems from a complex mix of factors, including perceptions of bias, media ownership and agendas, the rise of social media and alternative news sources, and concerns about the quality and accuracy of reporting. Additionally, partisan divides and generational differences contribute to varying levels of trust in traditional news sources. Here's a more detailed breakdown: 1. Perceived Bias and Agendas: A significant portion of the public believes the media is biased and pushes specific political or economic agendas, rather than representing the interests of ordinary people. Concerns about bias are particularly pronounced when covering conflicts or controversial issues, potentially leading people to seek information from alternative sources, even if they are unreliable. Studies suggest that audiences often gravitate towards news that aligns with their existing beliefs, and media organizations may cater to these preferences, further reinforcing perceived bias. 2. Media Ownership and Influence: Corporate ownership and advertising revenue can influence media narratives, as organizations may prioritize content that benefits their bottom line or caters to advertisers. Government influence, either directly or through pressure, can also shape media coverage, leading to skepticism about the objectivity of news reports. 3. The Rise of Social Media and Alternative News: The proliferation of social media and online news sources has fragmented the media landscape and created an environment where misinformation and fake news can spread rapidly. Newsrooms are competing for attention with social media influencers and unregulated content, leading to a decline in trust in traditional media outlets. The availability of alternative news sources, often with strong ideological leanings, can further contribute to a sense of bias and distrust in established media. 4. Concerns about Accuracy and Quality: Some argue that the pressure to publish quickly, coupled with declining newsroom resources, can lead to a decline in the quality and accuracy of reporting. Fewer journalists, thinner reporting, and increasingly desperate advertising content can contribute to public skepticism about the news media. The rise of sensationalism and the focus on exceptional events over ordinary ones can also distort the public's perception of reality, further eroding trust. 5. Partisan and Generational Differences: Trust in the media is often polarized along partisan lines, with Democrats generally expressing more trust than Republicans. Generational differences also exist, with younger people tending to be less trusting of traditional media compared to older generations. In conclusion, the reasons for distrust in the media are multifaceted and interconnected, encompassing perceptions of bias, media ownership, the rise of alternative news sources, and concerns about accuracy and quality. These factors, combined with partisan and generational divides, contribute to a complex and challenging landscape for journalism and the public's trust in it -

If it wouldn’t of happened why did you bring it up other than deflecting from the answer you could not give. BTW, Trump has not received any plane. Get your facts in order. -

Turns out the Trump-maga and Mao-cultural revolution connection is actually a real thing
I started commenting about this long ago. My feeling that there were similarities (obviously not exactly the same thing!) between the maga movement and Mao's cultural revolution. I did this long before I had ever heard of or read any political analyst or pundit make that indeed rather controversial connection. Of course every time I mentioned that here, maga type viciously attacked me personally as they tend to do when their dear cult leader is presented in any kind of negative way. Well, my oh my, it turns out in recent months I started to hear the same thing on other media from various commentators. And now this. Many people in CHINA of all places, and they would know, are most definitely and clearly seeing the connection. In China, some see the ghost of Mao as Trump upends America and the world | CNN Hong KongCNN — Ding Xueliang spent his early teenage years in China as a fervent believer and practitioner of Chairman Mao Zedong’s revolutionary ideals — but he never imagined those memories would one day be stirred by a sitting US president. In 1966, at just 13 years old, the son of poor farmers became one of Mao’s Red Guards. He joined millions of young people across China to participate in the Cultural Revolution, a decade-long upheaval set off by an aging Mao to reassert his absolute control over the ruling Communist Party – with the stated goal of preserving communist ideology. Nearly six decades later, Ding is a distinguished scholar of Chinese politics based in Hong Kong, with a PhD from Harvard and a career teaching about the catastrophic movement he embraced. But in recent months, he has begun to see uncanny echoes of Mao’s Cultural Revolution in an unexpected place: Donald Trump’s America. -

Weird hermits
I'm starting to suspect they don't mean old-school hermits.
