‘Who wants to tell him? LOL’: Brian Stelter can’t figure out WHY American’s trust in the media keeps going down (blames Dan Rather?)

Then there was a serious drop …

They never really recuperated from that major drop, but looking at this, their numbers right now are only higher than what we saw in 2016, and we know what happened THAT year.

TIL: there was a ten-point drop in Americans' trust in the media between 2003 and 2004, which was never recovered. https://t.co/4yHT7PQblZ pic.twitter.com/A9NrbRBLxG

Hrm.

Brian Stelter is trying to figure it out … and blaming Dan Rather.

Rathergate? War? Or both

You literally use @DanRather on your show, called reliable sources, and treat him as though he should be respected cc @PolitiBunny https://t.co/pmrPfhvqSi

The fact that Americans are actually smarter than people who 'claim' to be 'journalists.' We've caught MANY 'journalists' in absolute lies and pushing absolute propaganda. Corporate media destroyed real journalism. You let it. You ARE it.
