US just finished dead last among 46 countries in media trust — here's why The U.S. media is the least trustworthy in the world, according to a comprehensive new Reuters Institute survey encompassing 46 countries. Yes, you read that right. The country with among the most resources in this arena – human, technical and otherwise – finished dead last. Finland ranked the highest, with a 65 percent trust rating. In Kenya, the trust rating clocked in at 61 percent. But here in the U.S.A., the home of global media giants including the New York Times, Washington Post and CNN, we’re trusted by a whopping 29 percent of those reading and watching. Is anyone really surprised? Because in looking at polls over the past few years we’ve been trending in this dubious direction for some time.

Pic Passed in 1996 under President Bill Clinton, the Telecommunications Act has resulted in large-scale deregulation of the entire US media industry, removing many limitations on the number of different media outlets that can be owed by a single company. Link • Big Pharmedia: Suppose everyone loves a mystery and according to this research noone really knows the true identity of the controlling shareholders of both 'big pharma' and 'big media' but they are one in the same. Also thought there was some interesting factual info in the vid below describing how major media outlets share at least one board member with (at least) one pharmaceutical company - also brought up is the five billion dollar per year revenue stream between big media and big pharma and the staggering loss of public trust experienced by both.
