We have less than one week till the 2024 presidential election here in the United States.

So there's a really big deal. If you're not in America right now, I can tell you the air is electric.

I don't think anybody really knows where we're going to go in less than a week, but it is a crazy time here.

There's excitement, there's trepidation, but there's hope. So one of the things I really

want to talk about, though, with this presidential election that's coming is there's a framing

around it that no other presidential election has ever had in our lifetimes. And what am I mean by that?

That is the corporate media's downfall of their narrative control. They no longer have it.

It's over. And so people are thinking for themselves. And we can actually track this through the

headlines. In 2021, the middle of the pandemic, we see this headline here. Media Trust hits new low.

I know a lot of people celebrated for that except people working in that

industry. And you can see here, how low did it go? This chart, 46% percentage of Americans who trusted

traditional media. That's less than a coin toss. You're less than 50% of the people. So you're

losing the public at that point. And actually, that started. I've been a journalist, independent journalist,

since 2014, in this media space. And with the high wire since 2017, doing weekly reports

every week since 2017, nearly. And I can tell you in that space that around 2015, 2016,

journalism went from reporting the truth, really respecting free speech to a threat

to democracy, a vehicle for spewing hate and conspiracy theories, and there was an attack on it.

And the corporate media, rather than defend their own profession, actually jumped in on the

attack. So I really do think that was part of it.

But now let's go through the headlines. So after the pandemic is coming to an end and people are

going back to normal and the corporate media is probably saying, boy, I hope our audience comes back.

Maybe we can have some integrity. Nope. 2023, America's trust in media plummets to historic low.
