Media Drops Coverage of Ideas

Public Distrust in US Institutions Plummets

American Faith In Institutions — Including Newspapers & Television — Hits New Lows

A June 2015 Gallup survey of the confidence among Americans in our institutions has hit all-time lows. with Congress having the lowest approval rating of all at 8%. Only the US military and small business have ratings above their historical averages, with 72% and 67% confidence ratings.

It’s interesting to note the public’s historical lack of confidence in both newspapers and television news. with current ratings in the low 20s but historical averages in the low 30s. These long-term averages predate the digital age and one can only assume that confidence in the fairness and accuracy of news reporting is even lower among younger voters.

MSNBC Saves Money Running New Nightly Donald Trump Show

For two nights running, MSNBC has featured the Donald Trump show, a compendium of all matters Trump — true or not. Last night’s show promised a foreign policy speech aboard the USS Iowa, a 57,000-ton battleship in Los Angeles Harbor.

Instead we watched The Donald throwing free baseball caps into the crowd as the 2016 presidential candidate blasted immigration, trade and national security in advance of tonight’s CNN Republican party debate at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley. Read more about Trump’s speech at the LA Times.

MSNBC finds no time to use its broadcast license to talk policies among the candidates and especially Hillary Clinton. A candidate’s platform and concrete ideas are of no interest to MSNBC, who is obsessed with all things Trump and the Hillary Clinton email scandal.

Public rejects MSNBC’s shallow reporting on Hillary Clinton

Does the public just swallow MSNBC’s shallow, agenda-rich reporting of Hillary Clinton’s campaign? Increasingly not,reports #HillaryMen this morning. The three-month old website is a favorite of mine

We attribute the widespread sharing of #HillaryMen content to Hillary’s deep grassroots support. For example:
The Great American Brainwash: Half a Billion Dollars to Turn the Public against Hillary (18,000+ social shares in one month)
Time for the U.S. Media to Apologize to Hillary Clinton (7,000+ social shares in four days).
NEW: Report Proves Quinnipiac Hillary ‘Liar’ Poll Was False and Slanderous (7,500 social shares in 48 hours)
The 2016 race is just kicking into gear. Hillary has been under intense fire since the day she announced. She is the central target of nearly two dozen candidates. Shadowy conservative groups led by the likes of Karl Rove are spending hundreds of millions to smear her. Media coverage has been a disgrace, with reporters and pundits transparently manipulating the public against her. Sexism rears its ugly head daily.

Deeply committed to electing Hillary Clinton as the next president of the United States, Anne of Carversville has covered Clinton since 2009. Thoroughly disgusted with the media’s coverage of Hillary Clinton generally and MSNBC’s coverage specifically — making NO allowances for the New York Times’ false and biased reporting of the candidate — we have joined an army of well-intentioned, research-focused, honest bloggers and writers who are committed to Clinton and the communication of her platform for America. ~ Anne
