How many watch and read news clips on the web, or use news apps on tablets and smart phones.

Excellent question!

Another question...

Since only 32% of Americans 'Trust' The Media.

Do the vast majority of people who "watch and read news clips on the web, or use news apps on tablets and smart phones".

Also dismiss it?

But...

Do they believe, as most Americans don't. In their 'Fairness'?

If it is similar: The 'spin' doesn't matter.

You answered your own question "Americans trust...." America is not the whole world.

edit] Also not surprising when Fox News is the most popular news channel.

WinterKnight...

"Overall, Fox News averaged 2 million total viewers and 347,000 in the demo during primetime, winning both categories. MSNBC averaged 1.13 million total viewers, while CNN trailed with 844,000 total viewers."

Again, you know American 'numbers', but not their meaning.

The totals of Left of Center/Liberal American Cable News (CNN and MSNBC). Are basically the same as FOX.

1,974,000 vs. 2,000,000.

More interesting. Is how few Americans actually watch the Three Major Cable News Networks.

Total about 4 million.

Welcome to the 21st Century.

Where the "Eagle" trumps sensibility!

The eagle named 'Uncle Sam' also snapped at Liberals.

Apparently, 'Uncle Sam' dislikes both Liberals and Trump.

A very smart bird!!!

US presidential debate: World media hails Clinton as winner

Doesn't matter what The World Media believes.

Matters a lot more than you believe.

Why?

Who cares anymore, in this Modern Era of Social Media and News Blogs, what The Dismissed Media thinks.

Americans' Trust in Mass Media Sinks to New Low

"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."

In my msg 1825535 I linked to the death of Savita Halappanavar. Now there is another article about the death of a woman, because the doctor would not abort the fetus to save her life. Italy abortion row as woman dies after hospital miscarriage

But if only he were a decent alternative.
And 48 states weren't winner-takes-all.

Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.

The real winner of last night's debate?
NOT the American people.
Unfortunately the real winner was the Debate Commission and the complicit Media who control what people hear.
It really doesn't have to be like that.
There are other opinions rather than the bought-and-paid-for two party monopoly.
Here is Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson's take on the last Debate.

My Statement: What We Heard Last Night

What did we hear last night?

Obama saved the economy, or Obama killed the economy, but we’ll both keep increasing the debt.

We both say we believe in free trade, but not the policies that will allow it.

We will both reform taxes by continuing the tinkering to pick winners and losers. We might change the winners and losers, but we’ll still pick them.

The option of a tax code that doesn’t manipulate us isn’t on the table.

On entitlements, once again, the politicians are afraid to tell the truth. Let’s just duck it for another couple of weeks and then it won’t be a problem for us.
And on foreign policy, I defy anyone to find a policy on that stage that will make anyone safer, here at home or on the other side of the world.

But even more fundamentally, we had an entire discussion about ‘fitness for office’, and the responses amounted to which candidate is the real criminal.

America deserves better. The two-party duopoly has brought us here. It’s time to try another way.

You might like to look into California's "Ballot Propositions" and work out for yourself whether they are a good or bad idea.

Don't get me started on how horrible direct democracy is ... . Some filthy trap is written into every single one.

I knew that would get the required response. LMAO

Similarly, if the Politicians are supposed to decide how society should be run, then perhaps take the mood of the people and let events happen which makes everything else ending up being put into in a context.

The question is, considering the number of subjects debated and covered by our elected politicians, would the public actually know, rather than believe, about all these subjects.

It should have been a case for Trump Presidential ambitions, of being so simple.

After all he's a good businessman, he's increased his fortune by over 20%/year for 50ish years. If you believe his numbers.
That means he must be good managing staff, and immigrants must love him because he employs so many.
He knows the Tax system inside out and knows where it needs reforming.
Negotiating with others including foreigners to open up World businesses. Including Islamic countries.
Therefore, of course, he knows all about Trade Deals and whats good for him and the USA.
Traveling to so many countries he knows a lot of whats going on, which countries are friendly and which aren't.

The incumbent President is not that popular.
The economy and jobs haven't improved fast enough for the population in the last 8 years.
The population wants change to a new better style of government.

The opponent is even less popular.
The opponent lost a ambassador plus other US citizens when Secretary of State.
The opponent is not trusted and has problems with emails and private servers.

And the opponent is a Woman. Who's husband has problems controlling his trouser snake.

What could be easier.
