I would say that I do. I find them quite dishonest and sensationalistic. I think it's healthy to be a skeptic of what they say.

Likewise, it seems the American public is growing increasingly distrustful of the mainstream media.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans’ trust and confidence in the mass media “to report the news fully, accurately and fairly” has dropped to its lowest level in Gallup polling history, with 32% saying they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media. This is down eight percentage points from last year.

Older Americans are more likely than younger Americans to say they trust the media, but trust has declined among both age groups this year. Currently, 26% of those aged 18 to 49 (down from 36% last year) and 38% of those aged 50 and older (down from 45%) say they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media.

Remember: they got us into the Iraq war.

The administration got us into the Iraq war, and the media fell in line. I don't watch any news on television. I consider most of them more entertainment based than anything else.
 
Jimmy Dore is a Democrat who actually gets the political situation the Democrats find themselves in.

He sees how the Democrats keep lying to themselves about Trump and how the left wing has imploded.

He recognizes what the Democratic party must do to become relevant once again.

Democrats should really listen long and hard to this man....
 
I wouldn't say 'dislike'. For the most part, the MSM does not outright lie, but they do often lie-by-omission. For that reason alone one should be skeptical and always question what else is in the story that is not being told.

And, yes, the sensationalism is a problem, but let's be honest with ourselves. In this aspect they only give the people what the people want.

Duped later. This one has no poll. Closing.
