CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 6, 2025
DO YOU KNOW OF A BUSINESS THAT DOESN’T CARE WHAT A LARGE NUMBER OF ITS CUSTOMERS THINK, BUT OFFERS ONLY WHAT THE BUSINESS CHOOSES TO GIVE THEM? I CAN THINK OF ONLY ONE: “THE MEDIA.”
WEVE SEEN THE DROP IN LATE-NIGHT TALK SHOW VIEWERS, LARGELY BECAUSE OF THEIR ONE-SIDED POLITICAL WORLDVIEW. IT’S THE SAME FOR WHAT USED TO BE CALLED BROADCAST NEWS.
A NEW GALLUP POLL SHOWS THE DISTRUST OF THE NEWS MEDIA CONTINUES ITS SLIDE TOWARD IRRELEVANCY. JUST 28 PERCENT OF ADULTS TRUST THE MEDIA TO REPORT NEWS “FULLY, ACCURATELY AND FAIRLY.” I’M SURPRISED THE NUMBER IS AS HIGH AS 28 PERCENT.
THE LATEST POLLING NUMBERS ARE DOWN FROM 31 PERCENT TRUST ONLY A YEAR AGO. SURPRISINGLY, A SOURING ATTITUDE BY YOUNG DEMOCRATS TOWARDS THE NEWS MEDIA DROVE THE OVERALL SLIDE IN CONFIDENCE.
DESPITE THESE NUMBERS, NOTHING CHANGES. THE LIBERALS WHO DOMINATE REPORTING, WRITING AND PRODUCING LIVE IN A COCOON. THEY DON’T READ, LISTEN OR WATCH CONSERVATIVE THINKERS AND THEY MOSTLY DON’T CARE ABOUT CONSERVATIVE VIEWS. THEY DO NOTHING TO ATTRACT THEIR EYES AND EARS.
A HEALTHY JOURNALISM IS CRUCIAL TO A FREE SOCIETY. DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS FROM THIS POLL OF DISTRUST. I’M CAL THOMAS.
