Politico Poll - 46% believe media "makes shit up" about Trump

Am I paranoid, or are they really just out to get me? 

A new poll by Politico and Morning Consult shows that 46% of voters believe that major news organizations fabricate stories about the president and his administration.
The poll, published Wednesday, also found that 37% of voters think the media doesn't fabricate stories about the president. Another 17% were undecided.
Morning Consult conducted the poll between October 12-16 and surveyed 1,991 registered voters.

That's a fairly strong sentiment. We are not talking about 46% of the public believing that the MSM gets things wrong, or that 46% of the public believes that the MSM has some bias, or that 46% of the public believes that the MSM is willing to misrepresent. Nope. 46% of the public believes that the MSM flat out lies and makes shit up.  

So keep this in mind, if you are one of those people who believes everything you hear from the MSM as it pertains to Trump. You represent just over one third of the country. You are in the minority. You might ask yourself why?

What CH left out....typical of the weak minded defenders...the devil is in the details.....oh well....

More than three-quarters of Republican voters, 76 percent, think the news media invent stories about Trump and his administration, compared with only 11 percent who don’t think so. Among Democrats, one-in-five think the media make up stories, but a 65 percent majority think they do not. Forty-four percent of independent voters think the media make up stories about Trump, and 31 percent think they do not.

Among the voters who strongly approve of Trump’s job performance in the poll, 85 percent believe the media fabricate stories about the president and his administration.

Trump last week accused NBC and the weak minded post this trash......

Sergeant Johnson’s mother, Cowanda Jones-Johnson, backed the congresswoman’s version. “Yes, he did state that comment,” Ms. Jones-Johnson said, via message on Facebook, of Mr. Trump’s remark that her son “knew what he signed up for.”

By midafternoon, the White House was no longer disputing Ms. Wilson’s account of Mr. Trump’s choice of words. Ms. Sanders said the White House did not tape the call. But she said Ms. Wilson had willfully mischaracterized the spirit of the conversation.

Three in four Republicans believe the media invents stories about Donald Trump, a new poll has revealed in a sign his “fake news” campaign is working.

The figure is even higher for those who strongly approve of how the US President is performing, with 85 per cent of that group saying the same.

The findings come after a relentless campaign by Mr Trump against the media in the nine months he has been in office.

His criticism dates back to his election campaign, when reporters were heckled and booed by Mr Trump’s supporters as he pointed them out at rallies.

Yep, he's got you all brainwashed......LOLOLOL

He brought it upon himself to compare his response to his predecessor.

CNNPresident Donald Trump's chronic inability to turn the other cheek to a perceived slight has landed the White House with a crisis on multiple fronts over his handling of the ISIS ambush in Niger that killed four US troops.

Trump's reflexive boast that he was more attentive to the relatives of war dead than his predecessors Barack Obama and George W. Bush set off a cascade of consequences that has left his White House reeling. A full-blown political drama erupted when Trump was accused by a Democratic congresswoman of insulting a widow of one of the soldiers killed in the clash.

The chain of events offers lessons in how a President walks a rhetorical tightrope every time he speaks and underlines how Trump's outspoken bluster and relish for confrontation that was so successful on the campaign trail threatens to undermine his hopes for a successful presidency.


It's a behavioral pattern of Trump's presidency: He reacts viscerally to what he sees as an attack, whips up a showdown, and ends up eroding his own political position.

The resulting rumpus over Niger meanwhile also exposes the bitter dynamics of Washington in 2017, where the President's enemies immediately embrace any version of events that puts him in a bad light, and where the White House quickly retreats into a defensive crouch and slams the media for misrepresenting the President.

It was inevitable that questions would mount about the Niger operation, given the administration's reticence to speak about the October 4 ambush.

But Trump made the situation infinitely worse with a bristling answer to an innocuous question in a White House Rose Garden press conference alongside Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell on Monday.

He defended his response to the killing of the American soldiers by arguing, falsely, that he had been more solicitous to bereaved relatives than Bush and Obama, who spent hours with wounded soldiers and grieving relatives of those killed in operations they ordered.


By Wednesday, the controversy had spiraled out of control. Trump was being forced to respond to allegations that in the call with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, he did not know the fallen serviceman's name and he had indicated that the soldier knew "what he signed up for."

The President responded angrily to that version of the call, relayed by Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson of Florida.

"I had a very nice conversation with the woman, with the wife, who sounded like a lovely woman. Did not say what the congresswoman said, and most people aren't too surprised to hear that," he told reporters.

After a chaotic day of revelations and pushback on Wednesday, the White House was struggling to answer a clutch of questions about the deaths of the soldiers in closely held anti-terror operations in West Africa.

Sniper.

The 2006 sting operation was widely reported after the fact by U.S. newspapers, including the Washington Post:

Republic of Georgia authorities, aided by the CIA, set up a sting operation last summer that led to the arrest of Russian man who tried to sell a small amount of nuclear-bomb grade uranium in a plastic bag in his jacket pocket, U.S. and Georgian officials said.

The operation, which neither government has publicized, represents one of the most serious cases of smuggling of nuclear material in recent years, according to analysts and officials.
Despite partisan attempts to make it appear conspiratorial, the transfer of the sample of confiscated uranium was simply an instance of cooperative law enforcement between three countries: the U.S., Georgia, and Russia. The Russia government requested a sample of the uranium for forensic testing, the Georgian government signed off on it, and the U.S. government carried out the delivery.

The total amount of HEU confiscated in the sting was 3.5 ounces (about 100 grams). The amount Mueller delivered to the Russians was ten grams (the weight of four U.S. pennies).

Like I posted the other day......more fake news about warming....maybe rat hole can provide more of his famous humor to allay fears that this is not a hoax...

Second-warmest year on record thus far
Each of the first eight months of 2017 have ranked among the top four warmest such months on record, giving 2017 the second highest January–September temperature in the 138-year record: 0.78°C (1.57°F) above the 20th-century average. This is behind the record year of 2016 by 0.13°C (0.24°F). This near-record warmth in 2017 is especially remarkable given the lack of an El Niño event this year. Global temperatures tend to be warmer during El Niño years, when the ocean releases more heat to the atmosphere. Given the lack of an El Niño event in 2017, it is unlikely that we will surpass 2016 as the warmest year on record. However, 2017 is almost certain to be the planet's warmest year on record that lacks any influence from El Niño, and Earth's four warmest years of the last century-plus are likely to be 2016, 2017, 2015, and 2014.

Matt Bai is a very smart man.....

Whatever his impact may be on the country or the world, Donald Trump’s presidency imperils the future of his party, and there isn’t a serious-minded Republican in Washington who would tell you otherwise, privately.

In the short term, Trump’s determination to upend the health care market, his vague tax plan that’s already unpopular, an approval rating that can’t crack 40 percent, his exhausting and inexhaustible penchant for conflict — all of it threatens to make a massacre of the midterm elections, if you go by any historical marker.

In the longer term, it’s plausible to think that Trump’s public ambivalence toward white supremacists, along with his contempt for immigrants and internationalism, could end up rebranding Republicans, for generations, as the party of the past.

Trump doesn’t care what happens to Republicans after he’s gone. The party was always like an Uber to him — a way to get from point A to point B without having to find some other route or expend any cash.

Wow, "mainstream media" is so general that it's almost subjective as to what that means. I would be one who agrees that a lot of "news" and "analysis", and even "fact checks" about Trump are made up out of whole cloth. Much of that is repeated, reported on and generally taken more seriously than it warrants. Does that mean that "mainstream media" is "making shit up"? I couldn't give you an explicit yes or no to that question, so I really don't know what to make of survey asking that. At best it probably reflects a person's general attitude.
