As public trust in the mainstream media continues to fall to a new all-time low each year, it may come as no surprise that the same outlets promising to provide you with \u201cfair and balanced\u201d coverage, are actually censoring truth and feeding you content that is approved by their social interests. However, as social media becomes more prevalent, it is even more obvious when the MSM ignores the most crucial stories.<\/p>\n

Here are the top 5 stories the mainstream media missed in 2017:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. The \u201cWar on Cops\u201d hit a new low in 2017\u2014but the number of people killed by U.S. police remains high<\/strong><\/p>\n

The number of police officers who died on the job was at its second-lowest point in over 50 years in 2017, according to data from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. A total of 128 officers died on duty<\/a>, 44 of whom were shot and killed. Nearly one-third fewer officers died of gunshot wounds this year when compared to 2016, when 143 officers died and 66 were shot and killed.<\/p>\n

<\/ins>While 128 police officers died on the on job in 2017, it should be noted that 47 of the deaths were traffic related, and 16 deaths were due to illness unrelated to the job<\/strong>. In the last 50 years, the only time the record of police deaths was lower was in 2013, when 116 police died on duty.<\/p>\n
