Absolutely, many settlements are just risk management. But let’s not ignore the other side: some of these media organizations clearly believed they could publish smears or misleading claims about Trump and survive a lawsuit. When push came to shove, a $16M–$25M check was cheaper than years in court or risking an unpredictable jury. Settlements don’t always prove guilt; sometimes they prove someone bet wrong, or just decided the legal and PR costs weren’t worth testing the system. Those payouts don't mean the suits were without legal merit.

Funny how the same tactic trump used to drain the personal funds on over a thousand contractors he cheated also works on the media, universities, and private companies.

Trust in Media at New Low of 28% in U.S.​

Republicans' confidence in mass media to report news "fully, accurately and fairly" now at 8%

by Megan Brenan
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans’ confidence in the mass media has edged down to a new low, with just 28% expressing a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust in newspapers, television and radio to report the news fully, accurately and fairly. This is down from 31% last year and 40% five years ago.
Meanwhile, seven in 10 U.S. adults now say they have “not very much” confidence (36%) or “none at all” (34%).

When Gallup began measuring trust in the news media in the 1970s, between 68% and 72% of Americans expressed confidence in reporting. However, by the next reading in 1997, public confidence had fallen to 53%. Media trust remained just above 50% until it dropped to 44% in 2004, and it has not risen to the majority level since. The highest reading in the past decade was 45% in 2018, which came just two years after confidence had collapsed amid the divisive 2016 presidential campaign.

The latest 28% confidence reading, from a Sept. 2-16 poll, marks the first time the measure has fallen below 30%.

Well, well, well.

Fox News host Jesse Watters invited a so-called former member of ANTIFA onto his show, and the internet is finding the interviewee very amusing.






Reichguide trying to do preemptive damage control. What a fucking idiot.

yes because everyone is lying to us and the world and has been for decades but as soon as trump was elected, they became corrupt and liars...but only fox decided to tell the world how great he is.
makes complete sense

Most intelligent people digest media post Vietnam/Watergate with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Fox and Limbaugh and co. tapped into that 27% of dumbass, mostly uneducated Americans, like you, who want to be lied to.

Two dimwits that prove the point. Twenty-seven percent of us didn’t elect President Trump. Again, you learned nothing, and I mean nothing from last years election.

The Radicalized democrat party. Coastal elites and the underclass…. Represented on this forum each and every day.

Where? Where in my post did I make the claim that the 27% I referenced was about the election? I jokingly say you’re dumb as fuck but then you go and prove my joke true.
