Re: What media Americans trust
No, there are journalists that do seek truth and try to air it. That might however mean telling people things they don't want to hear which is why it's drowned out by other news. It's more profitable to cash in on peoples pre-existing bias. In the mean time people get to choose which truth is true to them. Even with the faults of our media I'm glad we don't have an official news outlet. I'd hate to see how President fake-news would use such a network to undermine our current flawed outlets.
Having occasionally looked at Tass and People's Daily I'm quite content with free though flawed speech.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

At least you know who is biased, the official news-outlet has the nickname 'state-channel'', for a reason. Confidence is still too high though

Printed media are definitely preferable. Because one can't sleep with a TV or a computer monitor covering your face.

Can any of them ever beat the healthy anarchy that is the internet?
Re: What media Americans trust
So the internet has neither word nor video and anarchy is healthy?

No, that much has been quite clear.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: What media Americans trust
I just read Emperor Trump's Twitter feed. Its the only information that turns out to be true in the end. The whole time I imagine a bunch of beta cucked Euro-weenies shaking and whimpering in a fetal position as the amount of brutal harsh truth incinerates their drug dilated pupils more than when they watch their women being brutalized by third world invaders. It makes my nipples perk up like a pair of mint cone ice creams flipped upside down and plunged on the forehead of some high school band nerd getting pummeled by an entire horde of steroid using jocks....

I think it could, it just takes more effort on the part of the journalist.
Re: What media Americans trust
Most Journalists now have seen too many movies. As a generalization they are more worried about being the resistance than getting a story.

They're untrusted in polling because everyone has an opinion on them (market penetration).The worry for me is that the two most extreme networks have the highest viewership rates despite being 'untrusted'

No, but nobody ever said freedom came without a price.
"The only way that has ever been discovered to have a lot of people cooperate together voluntarily is through the free market. And that's why it's so essential to preserving individual freedom.” -- Milton Friedman
"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule." -- H. L. Mencken
Re: What media Americans trust
In this case, we should probably take price literally.
