Maybe the reason Americans hold the media in contempt...

Is that with a few exceptions, the media is nothing but garbage people holding garbage degrees working for garbage organizations in service to a garbage political party.

A major survey came out this week showing deep distrust in the media, and then a top producer at MSNBC and a recently deposed opinion editor from the New York Times aired their own biting critiques. The message from all three is that the media has forfeited professional standards and ethics. The message is correct.

Every day I think I couldn't hate the mainstream media any more than I do.  And every day they prove me wrong.
