Thank you to all involved in our clinical trials. Pete welcome pack, this shouldnt come as a surprise. Trust in the media has hit an all time low. What can be done to fix this? Should it be Adam Gilt? Is the accuracy in media joins us now to discuss Adam? Thank you so much for being here, the media has done this to themselves. The left wing legacy Mediad. Can this be restored or should it well, it definitely can be restored. The first key thing is to let bad media outlets fail. Newspaper groups like Mcgood Afternoonygoodmcclatchey, filed f the pandemic, because people didnt want their news anymore, ing it dedicated, failed media bailout like any other. If industry let
the bad ones fail, so the good ones can take their place. Pete is independent journalism even possible. I dont mean that taps pejorative. Is it possible for someone to be unbiased a straight journalist, or are we going into an era where hey media outlets are going to have a particular point of view? Well, you know what im okay with someone being upfront with where they stand ideologically. I have no problem with that. What we have seen with these news outlets is a combination of activist journalism where, rather than even trying to be referee, they act more like cheerleaders, and then we also see click bait journalism where they run stories. They know not to be true simply because it it will sell w their audience. That is outrage just PETE. We saw that cheerleading when it came to the inauguration. The last couple of days, I can feel the chill right now. There is another aspect of this poll, which is quite telling the trust in media by political party. Fifty seven percent of Democrats have trust.
Eighteen percent of Republicans are obviously Donald. Trump did a lot to expose the left wing bias of the media through his twitter feed, which he no longer has because of social media. But is there a way you know? Does it reveal the fact that we all know these numerous are full of leftists and ultimately, Democrats are happy to agree with him? Well, thats exactly it if the news outlet are going to reinforce he their beliefs, its no surprise that leftists are more happy with the media than conservatives and libertarians are, and you bring up a great point about social media. Trump was kicked off. Twitter trump was supposedly a major threat to the media because he was mean to them at press conferences. Meanwhile, socialist dictators like Nicholas Maduro. They are typically on twitter and social media. You have real socialist dictators wannabes like AOC, seeking to regulated and control the media. That is a great err.
Pete you follow the can media for a living. Do you find a single democrat or leftist or liberal, who has been banned on media or social media? Still havent found it under pressure. The communist Chinese. The Chinese Communist Party had a tweet deleted where they promoted how wonderful their concentration camps were. They promoted how their Uighur Muslims were being rocked up, but it was helping women that got to deleted under pressure. They went on to tweet the next day PETE. I think that is progress concentration camps from the communist Chinese. We have one tweet fantastic. Maybe the unbiased nature is coming back.
