Where Trust in The News is Highest & Lowest
Each year, the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism publishes a report on digital news consumption.
The latest edition, based on surveys of more than 93,000 people in 46 countries, documents how overall trust in news has slid downwards by two percentage points in the past year. About four in ten people in the total sample say they trust most news most of the time. Among the countries surveyed, Finland remains the country with the highest level of trust (69 percent), while Greece (19 percent) has the lowest.
The share of citizens in all countries surveyed who are “very” or “extremely” interested in news and consume it regularly fell from 51 percent in 2022 to 48 percent in 2023. Many people are choosing to increasingly ration or limit their exposure to news, or at least to news of a certain kind. News that is overly repetitive or deemed “emotionally draining” is often passed over in favor of something more uplifting.
As Statista’s Anna Fleck reports, according to the report, with the abundance of channels now available, “it is not surprising that news consumers are increasingly feeling overwhelmed and confused, and many are turning away temporarily or permanently. Selective news avoidance and news fatigue have been exacerbated by the challenging times we live in.”
As the study reveals, social networks that rely more on videos such as TikTok, Instagram or YouTube are becoming increasingly important for news.

In this respect the writers add: “it is clear that most consumers are not looking for more news, but for the news that seems most relevant to them and helps them make sense of the complex issues we face. The new technological disruption of artificial intelligence is just around the corner, threatening to unleash a new wave of personalized, but potentially unreliable, content.”
It is important to note here that this data is based on citizens’ perceptions of the trustworthiness of media or news brands and that these scores are aggregates of subjective opinions. Analysts stress that this means that changes over time are often much influenced by “political and social factors as with the news itself.”

Biden’s Haitian Army Of Cannibals
Of course Haiti is currently run by a Freemason cannibal dubbed “Barbecue” because of his penchant for torching his enemies.
After the Clintons had their way with Haiti, manipulating its economy in the 1990s and then plundering the millions in aid money the world gave the survivors of the 2010 Earthquake it has been a slippery slope, total chaos has been unleashed.
And now the Prime Minister has resigned and the gangs have seized control. President Biden’s reaction? Send the survivors that make it out to Guantanamo Bay and then flood Florida with them. And Biden adds, further have them bankrupt the blue cities and then have them all shipped to Red States.
But these aren’t your average refugees.
The Haitians just made the top of Biden’s list. There may still some use for Haitians yet for the criminal aims of the Democratic Party.
Virologist Warns ‘Imminent’ New COVID Crisis Among Vaccinated Will Cause ‘Chaos’ & ‘Collapse’ Society
World-renowned Belgian virologist Geert Vanden Bossche issued a grave warning of an imminent “massive tsunami” of COVID illnesses and deaths among the vaccinated that will collapse hospitals and cause financial, economic and social “chaos.”
On the KunstlerCast podcast on Friday, Bossche said, “What I am predicting is a massive, massive tsunami” of illness and death among highly-vaccinated populations with compromised immune systems.
“You will see what will happen, for example, in the next coming weeks…is more and more cases of more serious long Covid…They will start to replace the surge of the cancers…now we have a more chronic phase. It will end with a hyper-acute phase, a huge, huge wave…I’ve been studying this now for four years. I know what I’m talking about. I’m probably the only person, in all modesty, who understands the immunology behind this,” Bossche said. [55:20]

“The thing I want your audience to understand, what we will be facing in the hyper-acute Covid crisis that is imminent, is that we will have to build a completely new world…It is very very clear that when this starts, our hospitals will collapse. And that means the chaos in all kinds of layers of society — financial, economic, social, you name it — will be complete.”
“And that is what I’m very clearly predicting…It’s very strange for me to make such statements, but I’m not hiding it because I’m two hundred percent convinced that it will happen,” he added. [1:00:12]
Dr. Bossche explained that the gigantic global scale of the medical establishment’s experimental COVID vaccine campaign will make the accelerating illnesses and deaths impossible to cover up.
“You commit errors or even crimes at the very small scale, you can hide them,” he said. [47:00]
“I have seen this happen with the Ebola vaccination with Africa a number of years ago. . . . However, if you do this at the very large scale, like what has happened with this mass [Covid] vaccination campaign, the truth will surface. And those who have committed these crimes who have been lying to the people, who have not been taking care of the health and safety of the people, will be severely, severely punished…If these people would now go out and say, ‘Yeah, wait a minute, we have been making some mistakes, it wasn’t all right, we have to correct them, we have to revise our opinion,’ these people will be stoned in the streets…They can only hope that something will happen that will distract from this issue, but it won’t…The truth will surface: this has been a large-scale experiment of gain-of-function on the very human population. This will be something that will be reported in history for many many generations to come.”
Bossche went on to advise vaccinated individuals that the best way to protect their delicate immune systems is to avoid contracting COVID again.
“What I can advise…to all these vaccinated people: they need to avoid reinfection. It is the reinfection of vaccinated people that is responsible for this situation…Well, the only thing they can do — it’s very simple — is take anti-virals, of course,” he said.
“The only difference is, you will not be able to wait to take anti-virals until you have symptoms…As soon as people see that in one of the other countries, or one of the other states in the United States, when this starts with hospitalizations going up very rapidly, they need to take anti-virals prophylactically, not wait until they have any symptoms,” he continued.
“I’m in Belgium. If it starts in the US, or starts in Israel, or starts in the UK, I bet you that within a few days, you will see the same scenario in many of the highly-vaccinated countries,” he added.
James Kunstler speculated that Bossche’s predictions, if they come to pass, could serve as the Biden regime’s “Disease X” scapegoat that could upend not just the 2024 election, but other elections across the world.
If Dr. Vanden Bossche’s scenario comes to pass, the “hyper-acute Covid crisis” will intersect with the elections of 2024, and not just in the USA.
You would naturally expect some extreme despotic hysterics out of the “Joe Biden” government.
They will surely try to run their “Disease X” ruse. But they have already lost the trust of the people they made war against in their own country. In which case, expect resistance among the un-sick. No more trips will be laid on us.
SUV Rams Front Gate Of FBI Atlanta Headquarters
Ameristar Perimeter Security, the maker of the “wedge barrier,” deserves a round of applause this afternoon after its barrier stopped an unauthorized vehicle dead in its tracks at the front gate of the FBI Atlanta headquarters.
Local media outlet Atlanta News First reports:
A person rammed into the front gate at the FBI Atlanta headquarters Monday afternoon.
Officials say it happened just after noon off Flowers Road. He was taken into custody by the DeKalb County Police Department.
The FBI said they could not provide any further details about what led this person to do this, but said there is no concern for public safety.
Ouch!

Broke Zoomers Skipping First Dates, Meeting Virtually Instead Due to Inflation
Young people pursuing romantic partners are forgoing traditional first dates and instead meeting virtually online due to the rising costs of social outings, according to reports.
Business Insider notes the dating app Wingman claims, “65% of users aged 18-27 choose to video call as a first date instead of meeting up.”
The practice, which was common during the COVID pandemic, is making a resurgence as Gen Z-ers realize it’s becoming costly to fork out dough for first dates, especially if there’s no connection between persons.
Embed from Getty Images“Users in that younger age group just absolutely don’t bat an eye at it, and they’re like, it’s efficient, it’s great,” said Wingman founder Tina Wilson. “You can have a quick chat and you can see if there’s that spark.”
Instead, potential love interests chat it up in a virtual date and save on travel and expenses by instead “ordering takeout to their date’s place for the call.”
Asked about the process, Toronto musician Eunice Cycle told the Insider Gen Z is “jaded by the process of dating” and “sometimes see multiple people at the same time.”
“So that’s why they might prefer Zoom dates because you could go on multiple dates in a day without leaving your house,” she said.
“People can’t afford rent, let alone going on a date,” she added, claiming it’s “just an overall better experience.”
While the experience may save some cash, it could make some look like cheapskates, warned digital marketer Sebastian Garrido.
“It will reduce significantly the cost of your food on the date, and it’s delivered to your partners’ doorstep. That would be a pro,” Garrido said.
However, it “may seem like you didn’t want to spend money on a proper date.”
Of course, nothing beats in-person meetups if one has the coin, and it’s uncertain what effect the elimination of face-to-face dating interactions could mean for humanity.
