How long will it take the media to earn back their credibility?

[ottumwan in tx]

It's been at least 60 years since they had any credibility

 

[Old_wrestling_fan]

My guess is a very very long time, if ever.

I think it is mostly gone for good IMO.

Ah yeah, if only left leaning media was more critical of Trump in the run up to this election. Outcome would've been completely different.

(said nobody with functioning braincells, ever)

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

It's my feeling that the bulk of mainstream media is currently biased towards the left. If I'm wrong, let me know. I'm sure you will! I remember a time many years ago, when there was obviously right-leaning media as well as left-leaning media. And there were also sources of the most authentic, bare information of what the hell was going on. It was the AP and NPR. It is not like that anymore. And I'll argue that all day long.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

WaPo crapped their image down their legs protecting Trump. NYTs, NBCNews, ABCNews, CBSNews, even NPR and PBS. They all sanewash Trump. The man is riding around in garbage trucks, painting his face like a clown, telling everyone he's out for revenge, admiring Nazis, running on open racism, and is a rapist.

And the media does nothing but apply double standard after double standard when anyone but Trump makes the most minor of stumbles.

Im not sure how long it'll take the press to regain their dignity, but they've got a lot of work to do.

What is your interpretation of "dignity" in regard to the press, Huey?

That’s adorable that you still think they have credibility. They lost it years ago for a large % of Americans - but keep waving your flag…

 

[NorthEndzoneCrew]

Yeah when you had concepts of a plan guy….and then the other candidate gets roasted by the media for not explaining everything down in detail…..the double standard is pretty glaring.

make no mistake about it, this loss is on the Dems. But I’m done with the media too, the MSM is not much better than Fox News. Half of the networks are now owned by MAGA friendly oligarchs so it’s not surprising.

Something tells me that woman who convinced yall that Harris was winning Iowa isn't going to rebuild her brand any time soon... being off by 17 points has consequences..

From what I read she had long history of polling really well.

I imagine she was paid quite well for that happy accident.

pre election polling in recent years has sucked, at least relating to Trump, not sure if this problem is across all partisan politics. People are behaving different

 

[Colonoscopy]

You bastards! Look what you did!

They're still not holding Trump to task. There's no real demand to know how he will end the Ukraine war or how his tariffs will work or how he will solve inflation, which has already been solved, or how he plans on deported 20 million people.

The media is what gave us Trump. From the days of the apprentice on. The central park 5 didn't happen yesterday. They have sane washed him for decades. Until he entered politics, even white democrats allied with him. Fred Trump and his son's views were conveniently forgotten.

This is a good example. They start to touch on stuff like cost. But immediately pivot to quotes about how shitty Dems are and quotes from Trump about how Trump won. Not sure how this even qualifies as journalism?

Trump says there's 'no price tag' for his mass deportation plan

In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Trump talked about his campaign promise to carry out the largest deportation of immigrants in U.S. history, regardless of cost.
