A Gallup
poll has revealed that a record majority of Americans
fundamentally do not trust the mass media and believe it to
be politically biased.
When asked how much confidence they have in newspapers,
TV and Radio to accurately report events, 57% of Americans surveyed
said that they generally have "not very much or none at
all".
The figure marks a one percent rise on 2008's
record high of 56%, while the general trend shows an increase
in mistrust in the media of around 13% over the past decade.
Just 43% of Americans said they now have "a
great deal or fair amount" of trust in the mainstream media,
a record low, and a plummeting drop from a height of 72% in
the mid 1970s.
A total of 63% of Americans said that they perceive
a political bias in the mainstream media, with 48% believing
it to be too liberal and 15% too conservative.
Interestingly, the survey finds that those identifying
themselves with Democrats and liberals are happier with their
daily feed of corporate political propaganda, with 59% and 54%
respectively saying they currently have a great deal or fair
amount of trust in the mass media.
The results reflect the rise and rise of the alternative
media and Internet news sources, which are rapidly
gaining popularity amongst Americans, who are turning
away from the dinosaur media in droves.
In another recent Gallup
poll, just 25% of people of all ages stated that
they had trust in newspapers and television news.
Of course, this is not god news for the Federal
government, given that it considers those who disagree with
the mass media’s version of events to be potential
domestic terrorists. By this logic over half of
all Americans are potentially radical extremists.

With the increasing awakening to the blatant bias
of the corporate media, we encourage our readers to help us
reach the next level and be equipped to step in and fill the
void.
The corporate media admits that billions of dollars
of taxpayer money are being used to expand the propaganda efforts
at Fox News, CNN, and wide array of corporate local television
stations in order to inculcate the masses with government scripted
lies and distract them with meaningless sports and celebrity
events as the economy and society is systematically dismantled
and a control grid and police state implemented around them.
The infowar is not funded and supported by the elite, their
foundations, or the corporate media’s television and radio
networks. It is critical that we take the infowar to the next
level if we are going to effectively resist the ominous threat
posed by the global elite and their cadre of technocrats orchestrating
slick propaganda.
Two and a half years ago Alex Jones made the decision to move
into a new suite of offices, build a studio, expand his film
production, and grow his web news operations. The effort was
fantastically successful, but would not have been possible without
your generous support. The 2009 moneybomb allowed us to increase
our staff, lease the empty warehouse next to us, build more
offices, create a professional television studio, and begin
work on an upcoming social networking site.
If we hope to finish this ambitious plan and counter
corporate media lies, spin, and propaganda, an additional moneybomb
is a necessity. It is crucial we take the infowar to the next
level and combat the growing propaganda onslaught waged by the
global elite and the corporate media with its boundless coffer
of money looted from the American taxpayer and provided by wealthy
globalist foundations.
On October 14, we will launch the Infowar Moneybomb. Alex will
be in the chair for 24 hours. We will be on the radio and will
stream over Prison Planet TV important new footage of never
seen before interviews with Lord Monckton, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny,
Alan Watt, Katherine Austin Fitts, Webster Tarpley, Paul Craig
Roberts and others. Make sure you tune in on October 14 and
watch this important broadcast.
Help us take the infowar to the next level by participating
in the Infowars Moneybomb on October 14. If we fail to expand
our operation and broadcast the message of truth far and wide,
the elite will realize an important and decisive victory.
