Deprived of the News

For John, BLUF:  The news reporters now want to be our masters, controlling what we learn from the news.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

‘Journalism’ professors demand media censor Trump; show why public doesn’t trust journalists

From OCPA Think, by Mr Mark Tapscott, 1 May 2020.

Here is the lede plus two:

Barely more than one in 10 Americans surveyed by the Gallup Poll have “a great deal of trust” in the news media, while 28 percent profess “a fair amount” of trust, for a total approval score of 41 percent.

That compares with President Donald Trump’s 50 percent approval rating, according to Gallup, as of April 28.

When Gallup measures the most respected professions, journalists rank near the bottom, way below auto mechanics, lawyers, policemen, and military officers.

The self-righteous are a blot on news reporting, both reporters and leakers.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
