This was interesting – “Other surveys reveal how many people in the United States now doubt the media, politicians, science and even each other.”
How very Russian.
Your theories about the media being responsible for this are as far fetched as anything one might read in Pravda.
So you don't think there is an issue with propaganda in the US? That the media does not twist the news into what people want to hear?
And that anyone who thinks there is is probably a supporter of Russia?
Quaint.
I was possibly one of the first here to talk about how American news is now a consumer product instead of a public service.
I made mention of my time at Brown and how Cronkite came to give a talk on the changing nature of news in this country back in 1979.
Where I see a Pravda feel is in the whole "Don't trust the government, don't trust media, don't trust ANYONE EVER on anything".
That is not American, or it didn't use to be.
And it
was something I noticed back in 1989 first time I accompanied Viktor and Sergey to Moscow on our little business trip.
Pravda used to cost three kopeks and the running joke in the USSR was how "you can have the TRUTH for only three kopeks!"
So now here in Murrikuh ALL media should be categorically dismissed as lies.
The Lying Press --- Die Lugenpresse!
Oh wait, not ALL media!!!
FOX NEWS IS FAIR AND BALANCED!!!!
And meanwhile Trumpism IS indeed a RELIGION now.
But we'll just ignore that.
