SITREP: EXPOSED Why Americans Are Rejecting Legacy Media EP460

Why Americans No Longer Trust Legacy Media

Americans’ trust in legacy media has eroded to a breaking point, driven by a series of glaring failures that have left people fed up. Recent insights reveal a public that sees through the spin, the bias, and the outright avoidance of hard truths. Here’s why the old guard of journalism is losing its grip.

First, the media’s tendency to glorify criminals while ignoring the average person’s values has sparked outrage. People are tired of seeing thugs treated like heroes, with sentiments like “Can we talk about actually treating criminals as criminals instead of praising them as our societal heroes? I’m so over this” echoing across the nation. Cases like the debunked narrative of a highway shooting involving a so-called “Black community leader” show how quickly the media jumps to conclusions, only to be proven wrong by bodycam footage.

Second, the relentless push of political narratives has backfired. Claims that Trump voters regret their choice have been dismantled by analysts like CNN’s Harry Enten, while polls show most Americans reject the idea that Trump holds too much power despite nonstop media spin. This disconnect proves the media is out of touch with what people actually think.

Third, the silence on explosive stories is deafening. Declassified notes confirming CIA Director John Brennan briefed Obama on Hillary Clinton’s alleged 2016 election interference plot have been met with crickets from legacy outlets. This selective reporting convinces many that the media is more interested in protecting its own than uncovering facts.

Fourth, confrontations between officials and reporters highlight the bias. When Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin shut down an ABC reporter defending an alleged MS-13 gangster, it wasn’t just a mic drop—it was a public rejection of media cover-ups. Comments like “Why don’t you just say isn’t it wonderful that we’re keeping criminals out of our country? That’s why nobody watches you” reflect the growing disdain.

Finally, legal battles like Trump’s multi-billion dollar lawsuit against Paramount, CBS, and 60 Minutes signal a reckoning. The public sees these suits as a direct challenge to a media establishment that’s lost its credibility, pushing people toward alternative voices that align with their reality.

The legacy media’s days of trust are numbered. Americans are done with the lies, the omissions, and the agenda-driven reporting. They’re turning elsewhere for the truth—and they’re not looking back.
