This should send a shiver up MSM’s spine.
According to a new Axios/SurveyMonkey poll, 72 percent of Americans believe mainstream media outlets deliberately pump out #FakeNews. What’s more, 92 percent of Republicans– I repeat, NINETY-TWO PERCENT– believe that news sources are purposely touting #FakeNews.
Even 53 percent of Democrats believe this.
What does that tell you, CNN?
72% of America now says MSM really is Fake News: https://t.co/yWrBGa4lxB #FakeNewsMedia

The headline is ”92% of Republicans think media intentionally reports fake news”
However I think the more important finding is that 79% of Independents think so too. https://t.co/7nZHnNqjcT

But again, what about the 53 percent of Democrats that believe the same? We can’t ignore that either.
Pretty bad that majority of Dems now agree too.. there’s total lack of leadership in Major Media to address the ethnics here…. 92% of Republicans think media intentionally reports fake news https://t.co/GWxOmKZzcK

But the number for Independents in key: 79%. The media has lost the ability to sway swing voters with biased news. Game over.

This just tells you that 92% of Republicans are media illiterate and do not even remotely understand what motivates journalists (or what the professional consequences are for them if they report things they know to be intentionally false.) https://t.co/nHK91NwVDu

It’s that attitude that got Trump elected in the first place. Keep it up.
92% of Republicans think the media intentionally reports news they know to be false. That is… madness.
Worse, they believe it because a pathological liar tells them its true.
This isn't just a problem. It's fundamentally incompatible with a democratic society. pic.twitter.com/0Pbs74lsqd

Fifty-three percent of Democrats and 79% of Independents agree. Explain that.
So basically 92% of Republicans are infantile morons incapable of independent thought or research? 92% of Republicans have absolutely no idea how to use the internet? How’s that issue going to be resolved?

Seriously…do you guys want to lose again?
Also- 92% of Republicans lack critical thinking skills

Yep. They do.
When over half of Democrats and almost all Republicans view the media as intentionally dishonest, it is time for the media to take steps to re-build credibility. https://t.co/jjkEQgRZ3n

No one trusts the mainstream media. The American people know those snakes are deliberately attempting to mislead us on a regular basis. Step out of your alternate universe. Wake up and smell the fakery, resisters. It smells like moldy anchovies.
