Media Party proposes BANNING competitors after survey shows lack of trust in Media Party
A new survey out by a PR and lobbying company called Edelman that shows trust in the media (and indeed all establishment institutions) is plummeting. Half of Canadians simply donāt believe a word the media says.
But look at this headline in the Toronto Star about it:
āEpidemic of misinformationā is eroding trust in institutions and media, finds a new survey
Just stop there. I mean, thatās your whole story there. The poll shows that people donāt trust the media. And the headline in Canadaās largest newspaper is: the people are wrong. Itās āmisinformationā that people donāt trust us. And they threw in that word epidemic ā because why not, people seem to get scared when you say pandemic these days, but that would be too on the nose, so just call it an epidemic.
So people donāt trust the media. And the media knows why ā the people are stupid and gullible. Otherwise for sure theyād trust the media. And their distrust of the media isnāt based on any reasons. Itās like a sickness ā like a pandemic, really. They need to be cured of it. Because obviously, the media hasnāt done anything to warrant being distrusted.
Yeah. Even this headline shows exactly why it is so distrusted, isnāt it?
So, at the beginning of the pandemic, people looked to the government and the media for help. And they realized that the government and the media were of no help, couldnāt be trusted, and were pretty much just in it for themselves.
Iād say thatās not a misinformation pandemic. Iād say people are pretty perceptive.
The media says ā the people are the problem. You donāt trust us? You are misinformed. You say weāre biased? How dare you! We insult you ā we call you racist and dumb. But you speak back ā how dare you!
