John Nolte 2 Oct 2025

The American people have woken up to the dangerous and hateful fraud that is the legacy media. According to Gallup, which has measured trust in mass media for 50 years, that trust just hit another record low.

Only 28 percent trust the corporate media.

Tee hee.

“Americans’ confidence in the mass media has edged down to a new low, with just 28% expressing a ‘great deal’ or ‘fair amount’ of trust in newspapers, television and radio to report the news fully, accurately and fairly,” reports Gallup.

“This is down from 31% last year and 40% five years ago.”

Tee hee.

“When Gallup began measuring trust in the news media in the 1970s, between 68% and 72% of Americans expressed confidence in reporting,” the report adds.

Well, that makes sense. That was during the Walter Cronkite and Watergate era, before people had access to any kind of alternative media. No conservative talk radio. No internet. No cable news.

“However, by the next reading in 1997, public confidence had fallen to 53%.”

This also makes sense. By 1997, the late-great-still-missed Rush Limbaugh had been broadcasting nationally since the late 80s. One part of Limbaugh’s genius was explaining and exposing the dominant media’s insidious bias. Locally, conservative talk radio blossomed all around the country, and reports on media bias were a large part of the daily diet.

“Media trust remained just above 50% until it dropped to 44% in 2004, and it has not risen to the majority level since.”

It's not a victory.  It's an institutional failure of one of the Founder's mechanisms to check and balance Government overreach - a Free Press.

A Free Press was supposed to use sunlight as a disinfectant for Government maladies.

We have yet to see a serious, thorough, and a-partisan audit of the sources of money for PAC's, SuperPac's, NGO's, Foundations, and Institutes that are laundering monies from the ultra-wealthy to exert oversized influence over our Government and politics.

Who is paying for the Dems to be the Party of illegal aliens?

Why is paying for the GOP to be the Party of globalism?

Ironically, the illegal aliens special interests and the globalist interests are aligned with each other.  Chances are, it is the same cabal of megadonors who are funding both parties.  I also would not be surprised to find that much of the money is coming from foreigners buying influence that they cannot exercise at the ballot box.

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.
