Trump’s return to power raises serious questions about the media’s credibility

Trump’s return to power raises serious questions about the media’s credibility

CNN
By Brian Stelter
November 6, 2024

Donald Trump’s return to power is a hinge point for the American media – in ways big, small, and to be determined. His defeat of Kamala Harris is raising questions about the media’s credibility, influence, and audience. Some of the questions might not be answerable for years.

But journalists are asking each other: What does this “red wave” election say about the information environment in the United States?

In the hours after Trump won reelection Tuesday, some of his loyalists asserted that his victory is a complete repudiation of the news media. For a time on Wednesday morning, The Federalist’s lead headline was not about Trump, it was about the “corporate media industrial complex” being “2024’s biggest loser.”

Legacy media “is officially dead,” The Daily Wire podcaster Matt Walsh wrote on X overnight. “Their ability to set the narrative has been destroyed. Trump declared war on the media in 2016. Tonight he vanquished them completely. They will never be relevant again.”

That’s wishful thinking on Walsh’s part — Tuesday’s marathon election coverage was a testament to the media’s relevance — but the point is that many Trump voters share his wish. They believe the national news media is a big part of what ails America. Not only do they distrust what they read, they often don’t read it in the first place. Can anything be done to change that?

What it says is that we no longer are held hostage by your filters at ABCNNBCBS, and can independently research, and thanks in no small part to Elon Musk, (and Nancy, of course), can compare notes and reveal the lies the legacy media are trying to push on us.

As for the complete loss of credibility of broadcast news, it is a self inflicted wound. No pity here, you sonsofbitches, you brought this on yourselves. You shit that bed, now sleep in it.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It did back in the 60's-70's and has been going down since.

Well, we thought it did for awhile but one day, soon after I came back from Vietnam (November, 1967), I sat down with my dad and watched Walter Cronkite deliver the evening news which included a report on Vietnam. I got up and told my dad that all that BS he had just heard about Vietnam was a total lie. That half hour experience changed my life permanently. @rmc51

Oh!, I'm not saying that it didn't start going down in the 70's but it was still head and shoulders above where we are at today.

I respectfully disagree. Most everyone accepted the lies back then because very few knew they were lies but that didn't make them any less lies. @rmc51
