📰 Global trust in traditional news outlets has fallen to record lows with respondents citing poor coverage by traditional media outlets of stories related to migrants, economic woes and wars
The research published on Tuesday suggests that public trust worldwide is at 37%, three points down on this time last year. In the UK, it has fallen by five points to 30% - 20 points lower than 10 years ago.
More than half of respondents said they now get their news from third-party platforms like social media and video networks, although a similar number still use news websites and TV news as well. Traditional sources are still more popular in the UK.

The biggest problem for Israel is not Iran's nuclear bomb, even if it had one it would never use it.

That's why Netanyahu won't accept any agreement, negotiations, or anything else until he sees Iran economically destroyed, with his puppet regime installed, just like Syria.
That's why there's all this spitting and whining these days in Israel, the US refuses to fight for Israel any longer at its own expense.
Iran will now receive a massive financial injection, cooperation with US allies, and thus drastically increase its military power, which has proven to be drastically powerful despite some weaknesses.
In 5-10 years from now, Iran could reach the military power of Russia, if they invest a lot in the aviation.
Israel's downfall began the day they killed Ayatollah Khamenei, united Iran, and ruined the possibility of regime change.
