thanks so much for posting this link. I will check it out.

I would say the public has moved even beyond a position of distrust toward the mainstream media. I for one see it as a force more dangerous to democracy than terrorism. We have been successful in fighting terrorism and keeping the homeland secure. But the mainstream media is not under control and in fact is getting worse by the day and consequently more damaging to democracy by the day. So there is not only distrust of the mainstream media but also positive and intense hatred for what it is and what it is doing.

BINGO!! (I am still only half way through reading but had to pull this out and comment.)

So on spot! I look forward to the day when the liberal MSM is just a vague memory. If all were reduced to rubble I would be dancing in the streets. Yes the public hates the MSM!

He's right on the mark with that.

I disagree. If there were such a vast distrust of the MSM then the majority of the country would stop watching the network news. But that’s not the case. The majority of Americans get their news from ABC, CBS and NBC. This is spoon feeding blatant socialist propaganda to the masses especially younger generation. If there are no oversight or consequences to them for what they spew, plan on just getting ready for the collapse in complete free fall right now.
