"Gallup polling shows that for 69 percent of Americans, trust in the media has fallen over the last decade. Among Republicans, it’s 94 percent; for independents, it’s 75 percent and for moderates it’s 66." They bought up and shuttered the local papers and kept no right-wingers.

They’ve created a hermetic circle of media-driven confirmation-bias that looks like the world.

Only the extremely-online autists seem to have noticed, and they're easy enough to dedicate whole newsrooms to smearing as "alt-right". In fact, that sells.

This would be good advice if The Cathedral's purse strings weren't controlled by the elites. We're a side audience. The public reads them because the education system requires them to and then afterward out of habit. Because everyone else is "discredited" or "fake news".pic.twitter.com/3b733SyN8N

CNN is still the standard at most American airports. But I swear, it’s starting to look a little like Pravda, even to airport liberals.

I assume that this is because CNN is the most international of American press, thus familiar to more travelers, though I haven't looked into it.

Come to think of it, in this light it makes sense why CNN has no other choice but to run political hatred 24/7 during those unfortunate periods of Republican control. It is the "International Apology Channel", i.e. "we're sorry our citizens aren't more like you."

This works so long as the message isn't intended to be relevant to China, India, Russia, Brazil, Italy, the Philippines, Poland, Hungary, etc. ... "We're sorry we're not more like Sweden and Belgium" basically.

... CNN-world has been almost comprehensively obliterated outside Western academic and media organs.
