Many online are asking how an upcoming event at Ole Miss can be real. What’s the event, you ask? The school’s journalism department is hosting a panel in April on how the media can regain trust. Here’s the kicker: they’ve enlisted CNN’s Brian Stelter, teary-eyed ‘Republican’ Adam Kinzinger, and Democrat Joe Kennedy III to lead the discussion. No sane, observant person places any trust in this trio.

YIKES: @OleMiss is hosting a panel on "how the news media can regain public trust" featuring a RINO, a former Democrat Rep, and a fake news CNN host.

2 LARGELY UNEMPLOYED, FAILED politicians + a FAILED TV host, is probably not the way to do it, no?

Good luck with that crew, @OleMiss!

Stelter has no business being on the panel, given his dishonest history and CNN’s recent lies about a terrorist attack in NYC. Despite two ‘journalists’ issuing retractions, Stelter ignored the situation and moved on as if nothing had even happened.
Posters say Stelter, especially, is why trust in media has plummeted. They say no one should seek advice from these guests.
Ignoring people they’ve assembled would really go a long way in rebuilding trust

An essential part of regaining public trust would be stop platforming hypocrites, or at least call out their hypocrisy. Stelter and Kinzinger are top shelf hypocrites.

Rule #1 Never trust Brian Stelter

Rule #2 Never trust Adam Kinzinger
Firing Brian Stelter would be a start.

That would be a wonderful gesture. It’s clear what the legacy media needs to do to have even a sliver of a chance of regaining the public’s trust. But they refuse to act.
Commenters say there’s a panel discussion that Stelter, Kinzinger, and Kennedy would be perfect for, though.
That’s the most untrustworthy group they could have possibly come up with.

Sounds more like a panel on "how the news media can manipulate the public trust".

Will they talk about how to lie more effectively?

I’m guessing they’re not gonna figure it out. 🙄

Not a chance.
Posters say trust in the media cannot be regained. The damage is done and irreversible.
Those days are over. The train has left the station. The trust is gone.

They should change the name to an introduction on how destroy people's trust in the media.

Exactly. The school’s journalism department should be presenting Stelter as one of the main drivers of public distrust; instead, they are giving him a platform and will applaud his lies.
