Sad to see smart people like Wrangor fall for this.
Not entirely true. Talk radio and internet sources would have filled the void. Though with the #olds Fox News is literally always on their TV.
The other news sources dd all they needed to do to make them untrustworthy themselves. Serious question do you find CNN, MSNBC etc... to be trustworthy? I
How do I get my hands on this survey?
I've read this question several times and I'm still not sure what it's asking:
"Do you believe that contrary to what the media says, raising taxes does not create jobs?"
Elements of Style likely advocates the use of a second comma does it not? Before contrary?

That is your takeaway from today?
It is sad that it took Donald trump for people to figure out the media has been failing them for a long time. Conservatives have been singing this song for a while.

The media has abdicated its role in responsible fact checking for a long time. The reason they have little credibility right now is because they are being hypocritical. They are exactly right to malign Trump, but their voice would be heard much louder if they had acted responsibly for the past decade and a half. That is my take away. The media is going crazy because half the country has tuned them out and is listening to Trump's lies. A large part of the reason why people aren't listening to the mass media is because the mass media hasn't been in the truth business for a long time. They have been in the opinion business. Now they are trying to sell themselves as truth, when half the country sees them as opinion. That is a difficult transition.
