Does Anyone Believe The News Media Anymore?

Ever since the 2016 presidential race started, and since Trump called out the news media in general for lying, less and less people trust the media.
 
It used to be that if you didn’t trust the media (and subsequently, the government), you were a paranoid ignorant republican hillbilly. You had to believe what the media was saying as though it was scripture. You were supposed to trust everything they said. Now, the gig is up. People no longer trust the media. They no longer trust the polls they run. They’ve opened their eyes to the truth. And Trump helped make it evident that the media was lying.
 
The biggest reason Trump was elected was because people believed the country was a mess. They weren’t feeling like it was the near utopia that the media was selling to them after 8 years of Obama. The media was living that utopia, but very few people outside of Washington and its elite circle was living it. In fact, they felt the opposite was happening. Jobs were being lost. People were forced to pay for the healthcare of a random Joe in Nowhere Road, Hull, Georgia (real place, btw.) The price of gas was through the roof. And the general cost of living had gone way up.
 
Trump exposed all that. The people believed him because they were feeling it. And the media bashed him for it. They tried to and still try to convince people that Obama was the best thing that’s ever happened to the U.S. and to the world.
 
                                               And the people no longer believed them.
 
The news media tried to tell you that Trump had no chance. He was a joke. He would implode within a few months of the race for his party’s nominee. That he would be fighting a contested convention. That he would never be his party’s candidate. That he would never beat Hillary. That she would just trounce him. Not only in the popular vote but in the Electoral College as well. And did any of that happen? No. The man they thought was a joke is now sitting in the oval office Making America Great Again. The man they claimed would be destroyed and embarrassed in the general election, the man they tried to convince you would never beat Hillary in a million years, is now running the country.
 
Multiple polls had Trump losing to Hillary. Some had him losing by a couple of points. Some had him losing by a lot of points. But their message was clear: Trump. Will. LOSE. But what happened? He won. Why? Because his supporters weren’t deterred by all the exit polls the Left was running. They didn’t believe the BS the leftist media was trying to feed them. The people now widely know that they were being fed BS and have opened their eyes to the truth: The liberal news media LIES!
 
The empire, the monopoly that news organizations had on what you think and what you believe and what you know is no longer theirs. They no longer have the power and influence they once had. Now, you know they lie.
 
And as it is of March, 2017, according to a Gallup poll, Trump’s approval rating is at 37%. This coming from the same people that also said most Republicans favored a path to citizenship for illegal aliens over building a wall. How ridiculous does that sound?! I might believe that if they were polling elected Republican establishment hacks, but not every day regular people that consider themselves to be Republican and tend to vote Republican. Because for the most part, those people are part of the Republican base. Meaning they’re conservative. So Gallup has absolutely no credibility anymore.
 
While I was in line to cast my vote for Trump, my mother and I had a conversation with a fellow Trump supporter. She said that she had voted for Obama both times, but now she knows better. She had been led to believe that Obama was the best option for the country (though going up against McCain and Romney, I can understand her position). She might’ve believed all the stories the media said about Romney and McCain. But in 2016, she had had enough.
 
Enough of the lies.

​Enough of watching her country be slowly and fundamentally changed into something unrecognizable.
 
The leftist media had lied to her for long enough… The Left had lied to her for long enough… And the devil had lied to her for long enough. The devil was hoping Hillary would win. But God had different plans in mind. He allowed for us to see the lies the devil was telling us for what they were. He awakened America to the dystopia we were headed for with Hillary. And He said to the devil “No more.”
