Are Americans finally noticing media bias and propaganda?

Are Americans finally noticing media bias and propaganda?: Looks as though the bias in mass media has caught up with them.  They overplayed their hand.  According to a recent Gallup poll, only 52% of Democrats, 27% of independents and 12% of Republicans trust mass media.  Younger people trust mass media less than older.

Don’t allow yourself to become upset with the talking heads in mass media.  Feel sorry for them.  They are truly lost.  And the vast majority don’t believe their biases masked as news.

There is an innate defense mechanism in all humans that warns them of danger.  Lies denote danger to a person, and that triggers a response.  Human nature registers a lie as manipulation, the liar is trying to gain an advantage unethically and thereby seeks control over the individual.  Lies, deceit, and propaganda last for only so long.
