The New York Times is at it again with its dissemination of fake news. This isn’t just another accidentally incorrect story, like so many before, or their “Pulitzer prize-winning” fake Russia hoax stories; this time, they’re actively altering quotes, presumably to shield Joe Biden. This latest fake news scandal comes on the heels of a recent Gallup poll that highlighted a historic low in American trust in the fake news legacy media.
American’s trust in media has fallen to a historic low, according to new polling from Gallup.
Why it matters: Trust in media had previously dropped to 32% in 2016 before rebounding slightly. Those gains have essentially been wiped out, according to the poll.
Details: Only 32% of the population reports having “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of confidence that the media reports the news in a full, fair and accurate way.
The only other time in recent history that trust has fallen to 32% was in 2016.
📉 In some cases, the sentiment is worse today.A record-high number of Americans (39%), say they don’t trust the media at all. That number has steadily increased since 2018.
The most frustrating part of all this is how the left, along with their cohorts in the media, are eagerly establishing these phony “disinformation watch groups” like Media Matters and NewsGuard. They use these platforms to eagerly point fingers at others, while they themselves degrade journalism with falsehoods, manipulated edits, and blatant lies. It’s almost too easy for them to spread fake news while masquerading as the last bastion of truth. It’s a perfect disguise, isn’t it? It’s like an arsonist leading a “fire safety” seminar.
So, what’s the latest from the New York Times? They’ve altered a quote from Hunter Biden, removing a rather intriguing word: financial—and yes, it could make a very big difference in a lot of people’s minds.
