    Trust In MSM Is At An All Time Low & They Say It’s YOUR Fault

    https://www.shtfplan.com/headline-ne...its-your-fault



    Americans’ trust in the mainstream has never been lower. But they aren’t taking responsibility for the lies, propaganda, and misleading news reports, it is all our fault for using our own minds and our own discernment to logically understand what they are doing.

    We all know the mainstream media is the public relations arm of the Federal Reserve, the ruling class, and the elitists. We all know we shouldn’t trust them. We have all gotten the sense or seen in front of our own two eyes evidence of their biased lie-filled reports. So it’s our fault we aren’t trusting them anymore.

    Rather than attempt to repair the relationship with the public, media outlets blame their audience for the distrust and for poor “information hygiene,” according to a report by RT. Long headed for a complete collapse, Americans’ trust in the media establishment hit an all-time low in 2021, falling three points overall to just 46 percent, according to Edelman’s most recent annual survey. The figure marks the first time Americans’ trust in journalism sank below the 50 percent mark.

    Americans’ trust in social media also hit rock bottom, clocking in at a miserable 27 percent, according to Edelman’s annual “trust barometer.” Globally, people’s faith in social media wasn’t much better, with just 35 percent of users deeming it a trustworthy source for “general news and information.”

    Survey respondents did not hesitate to expound on their dim view of the journalistic profession, either – 56 percent of Americans agreed the media was “purposely trying to mislead people by saying things they know are false or gross exaggerations,” while 58 percent agreed most outlets were “more concerned with supporting an ideology or political position than informing the public.” –RT

    Huh… no $#@!?!? https://t.co/NyatLQRfR0

    — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) January 21, 2021

    Some suggested that reading or listening to “independent” media, including Edelman itself, was the problem. When applying truth and logic, however, the trust crisis has a lot less to do with the media losing its touch than it does with Americans becoming savvier regarding the manipulation of their opinions, thoughts, and behaviors.

    The only group trusted by a majority of Americans out of Government, Media, NGOs, and Business in 2021 was, ironically, Big Business – even though corporations largely pull the strings of the media, politics, and the other institutions so many Americans seem to agree are not trustworthy. –RT

    That article is fake news.

    I would venture to say that +95% of the people actually trust the news, and the politicians. Just look at the shear numbers who wear their government compliance masks even after an entire year of lockdown, and how many are lining up to take the jab. They are "all in this together", and if you provide other news outlets which provides the real truth, you are marked as anti-American or a conspiracy lune.

    In 20 years, the statistics will be the same, just as they have been since over a century ago.

    I don't personally know anyone who trusts the news anymore. Leftists think that right wing news sources are fake and rightists think left wing news is fake.

    This right here has been the single biggest source of confusion and frustration for me. This same mindset is the one people have about government as well. They will tell you they KNOW all politicians are crooked, yet will fight you if you say we shouldn't need a government. People will tell you they KNOW this cv stuff is all bull$#@!, but will straight walk away from you if you start bringing up actual science and numbers. If you know these things, WHY TF are you just going along with it all then????? WHY???

    But the point he's making, and one I've seen personally myself, is that yeah people will tell you they don't trust the news one tic. But then they will still go through their day filtering their lives through the lens the media has set. They will still take the shot, wear the mask, vote for parties they know are corrupt, follow guidlines the bull$#@! artists on the tv tell them. It's mental illness really.

    MSM did it to themselves for not being real objective journalists and report the news. They became one-sided hacks who are employed by the globalists to repeat the same false narratives they were told to repeat.

    The first amendment be damned.

    Yeah, it's like 19% of voters saying they trust Congress and 81% of incumbents being reelected.

    Similar to the percentages of Americans who think McDonald's serves food, and eat there.

    MSM IS STILL A MAJOR THREAT

    I need to place a high level of importance on that statement because we are guilty of PROJECTION. We project our own intelligence onto anyone who listens to the MSM as being able to recognize and dismiss the Disinformation they present. Not everyone is susceptible to their tactics. And we project our own immunity onto everyone else. There is the problem. Although a LOT of people may no longer trust MSM, many dont fully understand WHY.

    We need to keep at this, and make sure EVERYONE knows that what the MSM is doing is RADICALIZING the people that ARE SUSCEPTIBLE to their BRAINWASHING. That is ONE of the things they have done to create Antifa and other Violent Extremist Groups. Its really the only way we keep ourselves from fighting with the people that are being turned into extremists.

    I'd say the "Left have Infiltrated" many positions of power. I dont necessarily think that is what happened tho. I think they were once totally normal people, got their jobs, then were BRAINWASHED. Then, due to the BRAINWASHING, started going along with their policies and partaking in exclusion of any and all Conservatives as "doing good".

    There are TWO major factors in Brainwashing that need to be addressed right now. There are actually about 12 Steps for Brainwashing, but lets focus on just TWO for the moment, ones that we can do something about. First. Brainwashing of Cults typically requires "cutting people off from natural social support structures". This is partly what COVID Lockdowns have done. When they are "cut off" they are gonna have "weak moments" where they are susceptible to their lies. Bla bla a bunch of Emotional Manipulation, but the Emotions are also a part of your Natural Defense Mechanisms. So, dont give up and continue to try to educate these people on LOGICAL conclusions. Brainwashing is Emotional, Freedom will always be Logical because no matter how you feel about facts, the facts remain true.

    Next major thing is instead of "force them to change", instead INSPIRE them by showing them different ways of thinking. Election for example, ask $#@! like "why wont they let us see the information presented as Evidence if that Evidence in fact exonerates them of the accused guilt"? Just do your best to let them decide for themselves because if we resort to the "think like I do because I am right and you are wrong" we fall into the same trap.

    Now, like I said, until MSM either stops telling LIES (not gonna happen as long as they are owned by Big Pharma) or goes off air, the MSM is STILL A THREAT TO YOUR SAFETY and we need to continue to discredit their disinformation campaigns and try to keep "waking people up".

    Yes, but, as we learned during Dr. Paul's campaigns, emotional people don't often respond to pure logic, no matter how inescapable it may logically be.

    We're mad at these sociopaths. Let it show when you explain why.

    Perhaps "Double Think"?

    Let them understand what the definition of Double Think is.

    Two types of incorrect thinking that usually mirror each other. Cognitive Dissonance, and Double Think. Cognitive Dissonance is a conflict in the mind between two conflicting ideas. "I want to buy my kid the cool shoes but I cant afford it. Which do I do?" Double Think is kind of the OPPOSITE of Cognitive Dissonance, where two ideas that should conflict exist in the mind, but do not conflict because they have not been compared. "Republicans are Pro Life but Pro War", vs "Democrats are Pro Abortion and Anti War". The idea to focus on there is that an individuals chosen party "protects the sanctity of life". Really, BOTH support DEATH, Republicans by War, and Democrats by Abortion. Both worship DEATH.

    Same people pulling strings on both sides. One of the things they do that paralyzes people mentally is to CONFUSE people. They achieve this by trying to to confuse as many people as they can. MSM does this all the time, where in a debate, if they can not win based on FACTS, they try to CONFUSE their opponent with Cognitive Dissonance and Double Think.

    The only way that people can overcome their confused types of thinking REQUIRES that first it is identified and explained to them.
