Americans view made-up news and information as a bigger problem than other critical issues, including terrorism, immigration, climate change and racism, according to a new survey from Pew Research Center...

...While most Americans blame political leaders and activist groups for creating misinformation over journalists, most say "the news media" is the most responsible for fixing the problem. {Ha!!! See poster's comment}

Republicans blame journalists more for the issue than Democrats, according to the survey. {See poster's comment}

Another BS Pew survey. It's stacked to point the finger of "FAKE NEWS" away from the media. The elaborate & jumbled sampling methodology they used is buried on the last of 10 pages of the survey article on the Pew website: LINK

Here (from that link) are but two of those slick sampling moves to arrive at their desired results while concealing the fix:

(1)

(2)
"The subsample from the ATP was selected by grouping panelists into four strata so demographic groups that are underrepresented in the panel had a higher probability of selection than overrepresented groups:

- Stratum A consists of panelists who are non-internet users or have a high school education or less. They were sampled at a rate of 100%.
- Stratum B consists of panelists that are Hispanic, unregistered to vote or non-volunteers. They were sampled at a rate of 74%.
- Stratum C consists of panelists that are black non-Hispanic or 18 to 34 years old. They were sampled at a rate of 29%.
- Stratum D consists of the remaining panelists. They were sampled at a rate of 22%."

And then the chorus of “Orange Man Bad!” begins

Followed by NPC’s taking to the streets, saying:

“I am mad, therefore I protest!”

“I protest, therefore I and Wolf Blitzer are correct!”

A little Julius Streicher therapy might get journalism to clean up its act.

And...
Quote other MSM pundits.
Quote ex-rats now on MSM payroll.
Quote only rat politicians and staffers.

Fake news is worse than terrorism, global warming, hate crime and pollution for the harm it is causing our dear America.

My father watched 60 minutes and CBS news religiously. What is so sad is people didn’t recognize Cronkite’s and even early on Rather’s political bias.

Go back and look at some of those broadcasts.

How did people NOT recognize how much Leftist bias was in their reporting.

When John Q. Public has a gun to his head or finds his wife/children killed by terrorist bombs, he’ll change his tune real quick.

Two quotes.

“Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.” Ronald Reagan,

And his CIA director Casey

“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false”

The big media is a government deep state operation.
