Wow, THAT'S embarrassing! The Associated Press TORCHED by their own study of American's distrust of the mainstream media (graph)

Distrust in the media isn’t a partisan issue.

Ruh-roh.

Americans' distrust of the press goes deeper than partisanship and comes down to how journalists define their very mission, according to a new study from the Media Insight Project, a collaboration between the American Press Institute and AP-NORC. @dbauder https://t.co/Wi4rI3gdqi

It would appear Americans would rather the media actually report the facts about a story instead of behaving like a bunch of unhinged activists pushing an agenda.

Gosh, we’re shocked.

The study defined five core principles or beliefs that drive most journalists. And it found that non-journalists offer unqualified majority support for only one of them – the idea that the press should provide people with facts. pic.twitter.com/svaiZtOpsN

Spotlight what’s not right?

WTF?

When I see this graph, all I can hear are the voices of “journalists” *yelling at* a police chief to not refer to a riot as indeed a riot. Journalists don’t care about facts. They care about activism. https://t.co/q91yQKE4Hc

Ding ding ding.

Journalism is a garbage fire — the values of journalists suck and uncovering what the deep pathologies are that drive them to suck should be the explanatory goal. https://t.co/xWjDC2qrMh

3 out of the 5 are social justice placeholders to rationalize putting your fingers on the scale to manipulate people. https://t.co/Oj4uH0AqMD

The problem is that *journalists* don't follow any of these five core principles either. Not one. https://t.co/HHOzwO2VLk

So you mean to tell me, overwhelmingly above all things, that people just want to simply be informed of what’s going on and ask that it be presented from a factual basis? *pretends to be shocked* https://t.co/Frab5Hkiws

Right?

We feel shocked.
