Slow Collapse Of The MSM Shows The Majority Of Americans Waking Up To The Reality That Biased National Media Is Indeed The Enemy Of The American People 

By Susan Duclos -  All News Pipeline

In the late 1970s the national American media had the trust of the majority of the people, but as they gravitated to the left of the political aisle over the years, that trust slowly dwindled, and by the end of 2023 only 7% of adults have a 'great deal' of trust in news media, with 38% saying they have 'none at all.'

In 2015, after Donald Trump announced his candidacy for President, the media became the "enemy of the people." Not because Trump called them that, but because to stop Trump from being elected instead of Hillary Clinton, they started pushing "fake news."

This isn't opinion, it was documented with links, and screen shots, by Sharyl Attkisson, where she kindly referred to the false news presented by the MSM as "mistakes." 151 items from August 2016 to January 16, 2021, with an addition six added in after Trump was no long in the White House.

Please note that doesn't includes the lies, misrepresentations, and misinformation published from 2015 when Trump announced up until August 2016. An example of that would be the headline lies after Trump's announcement claiming he called all Mexican's rapists, when his actual words seen within the publications showed he mentioned that some of who come here illegally over the border are rapists.

 News reports since then proved Trump right. 

I would detail more of that, but I'd like to jump forward to present day, as one of the largest American news outlets, Washington Post, is now losing $100 million per year. Not only that but their online engagement has been cut in half over the last four years.

Four years ago, the Post boasted 139 million monthly visitors. By the end of last year, it had less than 60 million”

Of that audience, less than one in five read more than a single article per month. 

For the record, just the  one million could keep ANP going until Stefan and I drop dead, and still have enough to leave some to our children.

Top that off with the fact that in early December 2023, Washington Post Guild went on a mini strike, where 750 members walked out for a day, which almost no readers even noticed. Their demands, considering how often Wapo and other liberal news outlets lie to the American people they are supposed to inform, are outrageous.

The Guild wants a minimum salary of $100,100 for reporters, and management is offering only $73,000. The parties are also separated by annual cost-of-living demands.

Wapo is not the only outlet suffering from self-inflicted wounds.

COLLAPSE OF THE MSMS....

2023 was a horrible year for national liberal media outlets, and 2024 is likely to to continue that trend.

Some of the key points from a TheWrap article published on MSN:

• Broadcast, print and digital outlets collectively saw 2,681 journalism job cuts in 2023, up 48% from 1,808 in 2022 and 77% from 1,511 in 2021.

• In Nov.-Dec. alone "Condé Nast, G/O Media, Vice Media and Vox Media have all cut staff, most of whom already had layoffs earlier this year. (Vice filed for bankruptcy in June.)"

• A research study in 2022 by Northwestern University's Medill School found  that some 2,500 dailies and weeklies have shut down since 2005. The study predicted that a third of American newspapers that existed roughly two decades ago will be out of business by 2025.

Of course the handwringing by the likes of some such as Ashanti Blaize-Hopkins, the national president of the Society of Professional Journalists, is nothing short of tone deaf.

"The health of the journalism industry is closely tied to the health of our democracy," Blaize-Hopkins added. "When layoffs happen, the public becomes less informed, which puts our very democracy at risk."

Ok, let us all say it, America is Republic, not a Democracy.

In my opinion, after having spent years documenting many of the MSM lies, misinformation,  selectively edited video, and retractions after the fake news already filtered throughout America, the Republic is better off with less, honest media, than more dishonest media outlets.

Media defenders will claim that "mistakes happen," but when every mistake flows in one direction, against one political party, it becomes less a mistake and clear media bias, a lies to get the political result they want.

PROOF OF LIBERAL BIAS IN MEDIA......

This is pretty redundant since most already know the media doesn't just lean left but pretty much lives in the leftist fringe, but to prove the point to anyone that still somehow doubt that the majority of media is Democrat, we look at donations.

In 2020, during the presidential campaign, leading up to the election, 90% of political donations by reporters and other members of the media, went to Democrats. Those were just for large amounts. Contributions of $200 or less do not require detailed FEC reporting.

Since this has been something tracked for more than a decade to prove liberal bias in the media, some outlets have created policies and guidelines forbidding staff from donating, so it couldn't be used against the industry as a whole.

These new policies can be seen in a memo sent October 22 from Los Angeles Times executive editor Norman Pearlstine and general counsel Jeff Glasser to the newsroom staff, shown below.

They want to hide their employees political bias.

A week ago Fox News published a piece headlined "A tiny, shrinking percentage of American journalists are Republicans, study finds."

In that piece we see that 52 years ago 35.5% of respondents said they were Democrats, 25.7% said they were Republicans and 32.5% said they were Independents. 

The study from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications found that just 3.4% of American journalists identify as Republicans, with another 36.4% identifying as Democrats.

3.4% now compared to more than 25% of respondents said they were Republicans in the same study from 1971.

BOTTOM LINE 

Short and not-so-sweet, the bottom line here is the media is the enemy of the people. They are the enemy of Republicans because they are Democrats and work to push Democrat policies and candidates.

They are the enemy of Independents and Democrats because they are feeding them lies and misinformation in order to coerce them to vote for Democrats.

Is it any wonder that Democrat are the only political affiliation that trusts the media?

According to a 2022 survey, Democrats were overwhelmingly more likely than Republicans to express trust in the mass media to report the news without bias, with 18 percent of Democrats saying they trust it a great deal, and 52 percent saying a fair amount. Only 2% of Republicans trust the media a great deal, and 12 percent saying a fair amount.

Independents saw only 5% having a great deal of trust in the media, and 22& a fair amount.

So, 86% of Republicans have not very much or no trust in the media, and 73% of Independents not very much or no trust at all in the media.

Only 29% of Democrats distrust the media.

For Democrats, what's not to trust, the media is telling them exactly what they want to hear and evidently 70% of Democrats don't care if they are lied to as long as it is what they want to hear.

The failure of the mass media, which could take decades to fully collapse, is a great indicator of what a lousy job they have been doing.

ANP is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.  ANP EMERGENCY Fundraiser: ‘Dangerous, Derogatory, Harmful, Unreliable!’ Those are some of the exact words used by Google’s censors, aka 'Orwellian content police,' in describing many of our controversial stories. Stories later proven to be truthful and light years ahead of the mainstream media. But because we reported those 'inconvenient truths' they're still trying to hide, they pulled their ads from ANP. 

All donations are greatly appreciated and will absolutely be used to keep us in this fight for the future of America.

Thank you and God Bless. Susan and Stefan.
