> no it hasn't, and no they don't wow, that's sure persuasive. Trust in the media is at an all-time low. That isn't "a loud minority."

almost as unpersuasive as the original claim that it has, and they do - a loud minority opinion if I ever heard one, and one that deserves no more effort refuting than you spent proving it in the first place (none) open to hearing evidence of that claim of yours, because the article disagrees with you

    I googled, google said you were wrong about your claim that, and I'm quoting you here, "people trust gossip more". Since you say you believe I can google just as well as you, there's no need for you to question this, either. go figure: google, the article, common sense, and common wisdom, all disagree with you still open to hearing evidence of that claim of yours, but at this point it seems more likely you'll claim gravity and evolution don't exist and tell me to "google it"

      I see that someone provided the citation you claim to need. Happy now?

        yes, the one which indicates your claim that, and I'm quoting you here, "people trust gossip more", is nonsense. Happy now? I am. or did you not read the parts that say 61/71% of Americans trust national/local media, respectively? Seems higher than "gossip". here's that link again for you: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/10/27/u-s-adults-under-30-now-trust-information-from-social-media-almost-as-much-as-from-national-news-outlets/ https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/10/27/u-s-adult...

        as it stands now, the ridiculous claim that "more people trust gossip" than 61% to 71% of people is pretty unconvincing

        Since you are just changing the subject and misquoting me, we are done here. Have the last word if that's important to you. I never said anything about "gossip" -- I said that public trust in media is at an all-time low. And here is your citation: https://news.gallup.com/poll/355526/americans-trust-media-dips-second-lowest-record.aspx https://news.gallup.com/poll/355526/americans-trust-media-di... I was almost right: it was slightly lower in 2016. But the long-term trend is unquestionably down.
