Speaker 1: Axios writer Felix Salmon reports that trust in the drive
Speaker 1: by media has reached a low point in America. It's
Speaker 1: so low that he says it's at a crisis state now.
Speaker 1: He reports that, for the first time ever, fewer than
Speaker 1: half of all Americans trust the traditional media, meaning the
Speaker 1: drive buys. Almost six Americans believe that most traditional news
Speaker 1: outlets are more concerned with an ideology or a political
Speaker 1: position than they are reporting the news. Almost the same
Speaker 1: percentage think that the drive by media journalists are willing
Speaker 1: to tell gross exaggerations and to report things they know
Speaker 1: are false e Fake news in typical Axios format. The
Speaker 1: reporter then has to tell his millennial readers why it matters.
Speaker 1: Felix Salmon maybe it's pronounced Salmon, who knows, says this
Speaker 1: matters because faith in society central institutions, especially in government
Speaker 1: and media, is the glue that holds society together, and
Speaker 1: that glue, he says, is visibly dissolving, and for many
Speaker 1: millions of Americans, it's disappeared completely. Salmon does not understand
Speaker 1: that the reason six of Americans have no faith in
Speaker 1: the media or in his precious government institutions is because
Speaker 1: they're smart. They know the drive bys and the deep
Speaker 1: state government are run by dishonest, corrupt, vicious leftists, and
Speaker 1: for the last four years they've seen those liberals totally
Speaker 1: deranged with hatred for Trump and everyone who supports him.
Speaker 1: That's really why it matters, and they don't even have
Speaker 1: the slightest idea
