These Are America's 'Most Trustworthy'
News Organizations In 2024

Original Article

Posted By: chagrined, 7/19/2024 9:41:37 PM

America’s trust in the media has plateaued over the last few years with only around one-in-three Americans saying they trust the news. Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu visualizes the percentage of Americans who trust (or distrust) various news organizations. Importantly, this is not an exhaustive list of media brands.

Comments:

This may not be an exhaustive list, but the incredulousness I felt reading this tripe was overwhelming. I mean, you gotta be kidding me! There cannot be that many DUMB people in this country!

Most trustworthy is not the same as most trusted. This article is about most trusted.

Lots of massively corrupt propaganda outlets are highly trusted. Lots of people are gullible as hell.

Take note of the source: "Data is sourced from a 2024 YouGov survey commissioned by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism." I do not know who YouGov is, and what their methods are. I believe that there is enough data floating around in Big Data about each of us....age, sex, ethnicity, amount and source of income, where we live, do we own or rent our home, when we last voted, where we shop and what we buy using credit cards, where we browse on the Web.... that each of our political opinions can be determined with a high degree of certainty. Given this, a survey can be easily designed to take a 'random sample' of people with whatever qualities are desired. A 'random sample' of urban dwellers in subsidized housing and on welfare will yield one result, A 'random sample' of people who live and work in, or are students at, say, Columbia University will yield a different result. A 'random sample' of people who live and work in a manufacturing town will yield a different result, and A 'random sample' of people who live in a rural areas and farm for a living will give yet another result. A 'random sample' may have percentages of 'random samples' from various groups, proportioned so as to give the desired result..... whatever result the customer wants. I believe we should view the result of ANY 'survey' with a good deal of skepticism.

FTA: "More than 2,000 nationally representative Americans were asked to rate a brand’s trustworthiness on a scale of 0–10". How about a breakdown of the political affiliation of those 2,000 nationally representative Americans?

So YouGov asks for a poll. What the heck do you think would be the results? Ha! I imagine that they scued the polls to prop up the State Media complex. It's pretty much that simple. Those who say that they trust their local news, aren't paying attention. The local news stations may report local stories partically correctly, HOWEVER when they report "National News" they get their info from their affiliates which are usually wrong and biased. These articles that state "most Trustworthy" is nothing but propaganda. They must think we are so stupid. LOL.

I've been taking YouGov polls for years and let me tell you...they are about as leftwing as CNN. There is a spot at the end of each poll where you can leave comments about that poll. I'm surprised I haven't been kicked off their list and banned.

Fine and good, but what is the viewership/ readership of each outlet, I.e., CNN is in the tank, and who watches the BBC? I confess to subscribing to the NYT, but that’s because of the Crossword and food articles, and the Athletic, which comes with the Times subscrip

Not a new organization but my most trusted source of news is X/Twitter. Fast information quickly clarified and/or debunked via crowdsourcing. I don't even trust local news because so much of it is parroting larger less trustworthy (read as agenda driven) sources. I'm an adult. I can figure it out if I get accurate information.

Welcome to post-truth, post-fact, and post-reality America where the occurrence of an event you don’t like is immediately a conspiracy to be ridiculed, dismissed, and ‘just asking questions about it’ to death. The attempted assassination of President Trump falls into that category. Since it’s politically inconvenient, 1 in 3 Dems have already adopted the position that it was staged.

The strongest argument against replacing President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee is the notion that no suitable successor exists. But there is, and not just a good one but one of the most qualified people ever to run for the office: Hillary Rodham Clinton. For what feels like longer than two weeks, we have publicly and endlessly debated about Biden’s candidacy. Democrats have repeatedly called on him to make a decision. It is damaging, divisive and only serves to further improve Donald Trump’s chances.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) told a Late Night with Stephen Colbert audience on Tuesday that Republicans and Democrats should ban “assault weapons” in a show of unity. She made clear she wants to ban such firearms “nationwide” and she posited the ban as a proper response in the wake of the failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Warren posted to X: [Tweet, video] Among the X users who responded to Warren’s post, one wrote, “Better idea, ban #DemocratViolence Nationwide and the problem goes away immediately!” Another wrote, “Why are you so concerned about if people should be able to defend themselves or not?

The Democrat party is in disarray as they try to push Joe Biden out of the way. Obama and Pelosi are orchestrating damaging leaks to the media in an effort to drive Biden out of the 2024 race. Joe Biden is currently fuming at his Rehoboth Beach house as Democrats plan a coup against him with rumors of an open convention. Kamala Harris is jumping on donor calls and rallying supporters in North Carolina as Biden hides at his beach compound. The media is pushing Kamala Harris as the perfect alternative to Joe Biden. However, an author floated twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton as the perfect Biden replacement in an op-ed for The Hill.

HONOLULU— David Letterman will headline a fundraiser with President Joe Biden in 10 days with Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, a sign that his campaign is forging ahead despite continued calls for the president to bow out of the 2024 race. The fundraiser on July 29 will be at the home of a family friend on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, Green told The Associated Press Friday. It will feature the longtime late-night host, plus Biden and first lady Jill Biden. The campaign has at least 10 other fundraising events over the last 10 days of July. Letterman helmed CBS’ “Late Show” for 22 seasons.

Interestingly, Nancy Pelosi held a meeting with the California House delegation on July 10th, nine days ago, to strategize how to exit Biden without a “coronation of Kamala Harris.” Details of the meeting are only coming out now. Keep in mind, only through an “open convention” process can someone other than Kamala Harris take over the ticket. Pelosi gives the appearance of calling for the democrat base to have a say in the replacement, but in actuality it’s the only way the club insiders can select a nominee that’s not Kamala Harris.
Mayorkas Defends Women in U.S. Secret

Homeland Security Secretary (DHS) Alejandro Mayorkas defended the presence of women serving in the United States Secret Service, noting that they “deserve our gratitude and respect.” In a statement released on Saturday, Mayorkas wrote that the “statements questioning the presence of women in law enforcement,” in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump were “baseless and insulting.” Mayorkas’s statement comes a week after an assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. The former president was shot by a “bullet that pierced the upper part” of his right ear after 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from the rooftop of a nearby building,

[Tweet, video] Appearing on CNN this Friday, she dubiously claimed that she received a flood of text messages from her “immigrant” friends after Trump spoke about ILLEGAL MIGRATION at the Republican National Convention. “Oh my God, Donald Trump just put a target on my family’s back,” the text messages allegedly read, she said Friday. “As an immigrant Latina myself, I feel that way too,” she added.

The push to get Joe Biden out of the 2024 presidential race continues. The New York Times is now reporting that Obama himself saw how senile the president was at an infamous Los Angeles fundraiser back in mid-June. At the time, essentially all mainstream press outlets rushed to dismiss the viral video showing Biden freezing for multiple seconds on stage before being led off by the former president. That incident began the now-defunct "cheap-fakes" campaign from the White House. Here was Karine Jean-Pierre's response two days after the fundraiser. JEAN-PIERRE: Yeah, and I think you all have called this the cheap fakes video. They are "cheap fakes" video,

A city labeled 'America's jihad capital' by the Wall Street Journal has become fiercely divided over the war in Gaza - as residents refuse to vote for either candidate in the presidential election. Dearborn, a small city near Detroit, Michigan, is home to America's largest Arab American community. The mood amongst locals has significantly switched as the death toll in Gaza continues to mount - with little indication of a political solution in the near future. Residents of Dearborn believe America's political leaders are playing a major role in enabling the suffering caused by ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Nancy Pelosi wants him out. Chuck Schumer wants him out. Even Barack Obama, who may have been the man in real charge of this entire administration, wants him out. Americans who are tired of suffering the nation’s slow and seemingly inexorable decline certainly want him out. But Old Joe Biden is digging in his heels. He and his dwindling coterie of supporters are the last people on the planet who still insist that their man is sharp-witted, energetic, and ready to serve until he is a hale and hearty 86 years old. And so it looks as if the Democrats are stuck with Joe. Or are they?

I’ve argued previously that former first lady and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton would like one more bite at the apple, and as Biden’s reelection candidacy implodes, her name has popped up once again. Frankly, I’m surprised it’s taken this long. The Hill opinion contributor Pablo O’Hana thinks Rodham Clinton is just the woman who can save the president’s chances: “But who?” "The strongest argument against replacing President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee is the notion that no suitable successor exists.

The Treasury Department is warning that state laws that restrict banks from considering environmental, social and governance factors could harm efforts to address money laundering and terrorism financing. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the letter sent Thursday to lawmakers. The letter singled out a law signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in May that says it would be an “unsafe and unsound practice” for banks to consider non-financial factors when doing business. The letter concludes that “such laws create uncertainty and may inhibit” national security efforts. Conservative Republicans such as DeSantis have sought to block environmental and socially conscious standards for investing,
