President Donald Trump is not alone in thinking media outlets spread "fake news."
More than 3-in-4 of 803 American respondents, or 77 percent, said they believe that major traditional television and newspaper media outlets report fake news, according to a Monmouth University poll released Monday, marking a sharp increase in distrust of those news organizations from a year ago, when 63 percent registered concerns about the spread of misinformation.


kind of some disagreement about what it means

The findings also showed Americans diverging on what constitutes "fake news," with 65 percent saying it applies broadly to the editorial decisions outlets make over what topics to cover and 25 percent more narrowly defining it to apply only to the spread of factually incorrect information.

When fake news first became a thing, it was because there were actual hoax websites designed specifically to look like CNN, NBC, etc. in order to trick people into thinking the stories were coming from those sources. Now it means something entirely different, but the hoax sites still exist and no one talks about them.

Americans should be distrustful of the MSM, they've been corrupt to the bone for decades. At least.

I know you're probably trolling but the MSM has been shit far before Putin was in power. People were calling CNN the Clinton News Network in the 90's.

They were wrong then and wrong now.

But yeah distrust in the media isn't new. That's why freedom of the press exists. Because people distrust the news some people will try to control or shut it down which is why it needs to be protected.

and fox news has been called a republican mouthpiece since its creation

as steve points out, the most likely driver of this is polarizaton and people thinking "well of course my side is fine, it's those other guys."

http://www.conservapedia.com/Cable_News_Network

The Cable News Network (CNN) is a liberal, 24-hour cable news channel in the United States. First started in 1980 by Ted Turner, it is a division of the Turner Broadcasting System, which is part of the corporatist media conglomerate TimeWarner.

In the first half of 2017, CNN's market share relative to its competitors saw a marked decline.[1] In addition, it faced repeated losses of its credibility through its lapses of journalistic judgment and ethical lapses.[2] President Donald Trump publicly says CNN produces "fake news" and he also told a CNN reporter that CNN produces "very fake news".[3] Subsequently, CNN has been derided as being "FNN: Fake News Network".[4]

From its origin as a cable-only service, CNN now broadcasts worldwide by satellite, with programs presented from studios in several countries in addition to their headquarters in Atlanta. Some regions receive locally produced opt-outs (under the name "CNN International"), and there are also broadcasts in Spanish, German, Italian, Croatian, Japanese, and Turkish.

CNN was successful until around 2001, when Fox News began beating it in the ratings. Since then it has been failing.

Lol, didn't CNN see record ratings last year? They're "failing" way less than any print publication could hope to be "failing," that's for sure.

Literally ever major news network.

Exactly they only air real news in the middle of the day because opinion shows get higher ratings.

I've never really changed my opinion on fake news, but then again I feel like there are two conventional definitions for it and the one that applies to major media networks is selective reporting to appeal to the common denominator, thus why Fox won't cover bad news on Trump. Of course that problem goes much deeper than a face value issue, essentially making all information on major outlets subject to number of views and having value only in that regard, meaning they are also subject to being 99% bullshit since cat videos will make more money than world news. I've never exactly disagreed with Trump on this tbqh.

What they think fake news is, and what it actually is are different. Seems all fake news is is shit that doesn't align with your current political spectrum. I didn't think people could get any dumber, but here we are.

Pretty sure that major news outlets getting caught working with the Clinton campaign after the Wikileaks dumps is what makes Americans distrustful of our media institutions, not Russia.

It's so easy to report facts in a way to make them sound entirely different to 2 audiences that it's depressing. Generally the audiences will take away 2 separate meanings.

"A police officer shot a unarmed man"

and

"A white police officer shot an unarmed black man"

What's to be gained by adding race as a factor?

Sure has, it's netted CNN it's first ever top 5 since '95 and made 2017 it's best year to date. Super effective.
