Tuesday News Round Up – RFK Jr.’s Popularity Surges with Voters Weary of the Failing Two-Party System

We wrap with a focus on the legacy media, which has spent years attacking RFK Jr. for being a “conspiracy theorist,” “anti-vaccine,” etc. It has not worked. Kennedy has the highest favorability polling of any major presidential candidate – Poll shows RFK Jr. with highest favorability in 2024 race | WJAR. People often comment that Kennedy is a “truth teller.”

The DNC-aligned legacy media, however, is no longer trusted – Americans’ trust in media plummets to historic low: poll | Axios. Millions of Americans are getting their news from other sources, as is pointed out here: When you say the quiet part out loud… | Clown Planet. Greg Gutfeld provides his analysis – Gutfeld: “Everyone Understands How Bad the World Would Be Without Journalists, Because We Haven’t Had Any For Decades” | RealClearPolitics. Gutfeld is correct, but only about journalists who work for the legacy media.

There are plenty of independent journalists out there doing great work independently or with new media organizations.
