Gallup Poll: American's trust in "trusted" main-stream media falls to 31%

[connda]

So much for trusting "trusted" news media outlets.  Regardless of what we a told we must believe, the majority of Americans don't blindly believe what they are told that they are supposed to believe by "trusted news media."  Well, I'm in good company with the 69% who have low-trust in main-stream media which are virtually all owned by corporate interests or individual stakeholders like George Soros.

"Americans continue to register record-low trust in the mass media, with 31% expressing a “great deal” or “fair amount” of confidence in the media to report the news “fully, accurately and fairly,” similar to last year’s 32%. Americans’ trust in the media -- such as newspapers, television and radio -- first fell to 32% in 2016 and did so again last year."

Of course they are (wink wink)

Put your trust in the Weather Channel & the lord according to Warden Samuel Norton. Imop

“The American news landscape is fractured and polarized, with no outlet singularly gaining the public's attention or trust. Party identification, and to some extent age, divide American media consumption. Most adults say that at least half their news consumption is politics-related, and most major news sources are perceived by Americans as either left- or right-leaning”.

Now we need a poll on who trusts a Gallup poll.

 

I'm doubtful of the 31`% figure, it seems way too high to me.

Beat me to it. I'd be surprised if 20% are so gullible they trust MSM.

I agree with your opinion above on what some would call,The enemy of the people. That billionaire you mentioned,deserves a special shout out,to , his extreme left  organizations that he funds are attempting to buy a couple of hundred local radio stations , in the USA.

 

 

This was one of the biggest scandals of 2024 in relation to trusted news, the rapid decline of biden & the cover up.

 

“Former New York Times editor accuses White House of 'massive cover-up' on Biden's decline

"Shame on the White House press corps for not to have pierced the veil of secrecy surrounding the President," Jill Abramson “.

Here's a sentence that 'splains so much of AN discourse:

 

Age gaps also made a difference in the ratings, with 74% of Democrats aged 65 and older having a fair or great amount of confidence in the media compared to just 31% of Democrats aged 18 to 29.

Doesn't bode well for the MSM's future, nor for the Dems.

The decline of trust in the media coincided with Fox News coming on air.  We need another Walter Cronkite, not these Hannity and Carlson clowns imitating journalists.

Its goes to the negative reporting , censorship and bias towards  proponents of common sense , traditional values . Many on the left can be perceived as

 activist’s pretending to be journalists.

 

“Indeed, readers may be reluctant to read an article from an outspoken journalist for fear of distortion of facts; the worry is that their taking of sides might compromise the reporting of unvarnished truth. Such a state of affairs is dangerous because it can lead to a less informed populace if consumers distrust the integrity of journalists or the credibility of their publications”.

You’re probably , more than likely correct but I think its being looked into by congressional oversight.

Actually, it coincided with Trump entering politics.  Left-wing Trump-haters have lied in the media from day 1. 

 

The lies are super obvious as well, leaving everyone but the Trump-haters wondering what the hell is going on.

Are you confused, we ALL know Trump is getting the big chair, which doesn't alter the fact he used lying BS to get there, even you MUST have watched it...😋

 

In an incredibly important meeting between himself and Harris, he spouted that immigrants are eating the cats and dogs, a LIE...................🤣

Is that what you voted for, stupid lying.................................😆

 

Ukraine, "I will end it in 24 hours"......😂

 

He's already spoken to Putin, so we are told, is the war over....?  🤭

 

Though I do feel a bit sorry for you............🤒
