How well do you trust the mainstream media? GWU! asked its readers in a random controlled study.
“Zero. They’re in it for the clicks, or to set the propaganda of the day, not for the truth,” responded one reader.
The viral quiz by GWU! confirms that the majority of the global population does not trust the mainstream media to give them accurate information.
With respondents from everywhere including American Samoa, Finland, and Nigeria, as well as Wellington, New Zealand; Jacksonville, Florida; and as far north as Nunavet, Canada; an overwhelming number (99.98%) confirmed that they in fact don’t trust their local or national mainstream media for news or truthful information.
A Tall Tale of Two Towers
“It’s a significant number,” comments our GWU! Statistician, Maria Glendon. “When you hit 99.98% you’re basically saying that everybody agrees. Imagine if your chance of surviving a disease was 99.98%—nobody would take that disease seriously … I assume,” shrugs Glendon.
The quiz, which was given to a totally random group of users on the Internet (who also read GWU!), revealed that most people agree that the mainstream media is more interested in pandering to government interests and corporations than the well-being of the general public.
One respondent wrote: “I can only speak for myself, but there is zero trust left. The last few years have been an eye opener. In my small group of friends whether they are vaccinated or not there’s no trust in our media.”
One Giant Lie for Mankind
The results of the poll come at a time when the government and corporate owners of mainstream media are pushing the idea that ‘misinformation’ from independent, alternative news sites is something that needs to be eliminated from the Internet through draconian United Nations controlled censorship.
Glendon explains that the call for censorship of actual truth-telling sites, such as InfoWars, Media Monarchy and GWU! is a sign that the mainstream media knows it’s no longer trusted and fears the feisty independent competition of its new alt media rivals.
Among the tens of thousand respondents, the media’s approach to the COVID pandemic, 9-11, the Moon landing, and vaccine safety were all key indicators of mistrust. In fact, despite the evidence to show how unsafe and ineffective the vaccine is, the mainstream media is still shilling it, confirmed by the majority of respondents.
“Zero trust in what is broadcasted on TV. They are all paid by governments to broadcast whatever the government wants to peddle.”
The quiz, which you can read here, was developed by GWU! Wokesperts. Below is a list of some of the other highlighted comments that continue to hammer home the media matters that the media doesn’t matter.
COVID Was All In Your Head
“I trust grocery store sushi more than the mainstream media. Been that way since 9-11, when it was obvious they were in on it.”
“I only trust the local news for the time and weather. And even that, I double check with other sources. Like looking outside to see if the sun is out and if it’s actually raining.”
“If Elon Musk or Joe Rogan didn’t say it, I don’t believe it.”
“My trust in mainstream US media? -100% There is no mainstream outlet that isn’t spouting the government’s narrative.”
