You Don’t Say?

I don’t care much for polls. But this one by Gallup shows that distrust of the US Media has reached an all-time high.

Americans’ distrust in the media hit a new high this year, with 60% saying they have little or no trust in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly. Distrust is up from the past few years, when Americans were already more negative about the media than they had been in years prior to 2004.

Distrust the US media, you say? How can that be?

They daily sing the praises of Dear Leader.

They worship at his feet.

They submit stories to their WH minders.

They accept top secret information and endanger Americans at home and abroad.

They push agendas formulated in hidden places.

They twist facts and make up stories out of whole cloth. (UPDATE: Exhibit A.)

They stick together like a pack of jackals.

If you didn’t know better, you’d think you were in North Korea.
