It’s no mystery why the public doesn’t trust the legacy media. It’s the lies. It’s the constant lying and pushing fake narratives. Did we mention the lies? Of course, ‘journalists’ are incapable of self-reflection, so they scramble to find anyone and anything but themselves to blame. MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle is no different. Surprisingly, actor Rainn Wilson called out her nonsense on Tuesday.
Here are some excerpts. (READ)
'The Office' star Rainn Wilson claps back after MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle claims Elon Musk and Donald Trump are responsible for the public distrust of the mainstream media.
Wilson: "40% of Americans don't trust mainstream media. Why is that? How did we get here?"
Ruhle: "Trump won and tons of people were shocked or angry or frustrated and they're tuning out. At the same time, you have the Elon Musk media machine because they want you to leave traditional media and they want you to go to X."
Wilson: "This is where I would push back... left-leaning news media organizations were kind of like, 'La, la, la, la, la, Everything's fine... look, the economy's great. La, la, la. Immigration's not that much of a problem,' and really, being Cleopatra, Queen of Denial."

MSNBC is a big part of the trust problem.

Stephanie Ruhle trying to defend the legacy media is a sad thing to watch.

Her whole life is a lie.
She's so blind. She's one of the absolute worst fake news people.

She’ll never change. They’ll be boarding up MSNBC, and she’ll still be ranting about Trump.
Several commenters are suspicious of that 40% distrust claim.
What? 40%

It's probably closer to 60-70% don't trust mainstream media.
a lot more that 40% of Americans dont trust Mainstream Media. Believe that

Right? Trust in mainstream media has been eroding for years—60-70% sounds a lot closer to reality.
— Emely (@IshiiiSantos) April 22, 2025
Gallup polls show 60% distrust the media.
Commenters know why trust in media is plummeting. Yep, it’s all the lying - we told you!
The lies are the reason no one trusts the legacy media, it really is that simple.

Might be due to all the constant lying, past, present, and future.

Elon and Trump didn’t create distrust, they exposed it.
— Barefoot Pregnant (@usuallypregnant) April 22, 2025
The media destroyed itself.

They didn’t need anyone to do that for them.
The mainstream media is on its last breath; people are tired of the lies and propaganda.

When even Dwight Schrute is calling out your delusion, it might be time to log off, touch grass, and find a mirror.

Rainn Wilson famously played Dwight Schrute on ‘The Office.’ Even copy paper salesmen in Scranton know why no one trusts Ruhle and her lying cohorts. The Queen of Denial, indeed.
