42% of Americans Actively Avoid the News, Trust in Reporting at Lowest Point Ever

Anti-Semitism continues to rise, and the Biden Administration refuses to take action against people not believing the Jew media.

The Guardian:

This might be just another negative news story. And if it is, there is evidence that many of you will turn away in despair.

The Reuters Institute revealed last month that 42% of Americans actively avoid the news at least some of the time because it grinds them down or they just don’t believe it. Fifteen percent said they disconnected from news coverage altogether. In other countries, such as the UK and Brazil, the numbers selectively avoiding it were even higher.

“In the United States, those who self-identify on the right are far more likely to avoid news because they think it is untrustworthy or biased, but those on the left are more likely to feel overwhelmed, carry feelings of powerlessness, or worry that the news might create arguments,” the institute said.

The Reuters Institute said that alongside the rising number of people avoiding news is a drop in trust in reporting in the US to the lowest point yet recorded at just 26% of the population.

The result, said the Reuters Institute, is that Americans are backing away. “Prior to the invasion of Ukraine, consumption of traditional media, TV and print, declined further with online and social consumption not making up the gap,” it said.

We should remember: it’s not really a huge number of people, percentage wise, who actually believe in current thing. Most of them will say they believe in it if asked, because they know they’ll be punished if they don’t. But the overwhelming majority of people are just simply apathetic.
