* 32% have a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust in media’s news reporting
* New high of 39% have no confidence at all, compared with 27% in 2016
* Democrats’ trust is down 12 points since last year; lowest since 2016
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The 32% of Americans who say they trust the mass media “a great deal” or “a fair amount” to report the news in a full, fair and accurate way ties Gallup’s lowest historical reading, previously recorded in 2016. Although trust in media currently matches the historical low, it was statistically similar in 2021 (36%) and 2022 (34%).
Another 29% of U.S. adults have “not very much” trust, while a record-high 39% register “none at all.” This nearly four in 10 Americans who completely lack confidence in the media is the highest on record by one percentage point. It is 12 points higher than the 2016 reading, which came amid sharp criticism of the media from then-presidential candidate Donald Trump -- making the current assessment of the media the grimmest in Gallup’s history. In 2016, U.S. adults were most likely to say they had “not very much” trust (41%).

Fox News ain’t too bad. Shame what they did to Tucker, but it worked out for us in the end as it essentially set him free. How many people here know that the Biden admin shot down a Tucker/Putin interview? What would be the reason for that I wonder 🤔
I stopped watching Fox after they kicked Tucker. It was only his show I like.
"News" is an extict form of journalism. The media today are basically political activist outlets. I am old, out of touch. And yes, getting old sucks in a lot of ways. But not as much as being young today. You have no idea the hell that's headed your way, but you will soon enough. Seek the Lord while He may be found.
Journolist: Evidence of Collusion Between the Media and Democrats
Are the Democrats an Arm of the Media?
Evidence: The Media Runs the Democrats
You might not like or believe Rush Limbaugh, but when the Jornolist scandal hit it has to have been a wake up call to people awake and caring about the truth.
I grew up on 60 Minutes. It was must watch Sunday TV. Now, I despise it. Especially after the Leslie Stahl Ambush of Trump.
You have to interpolate 25 years of trust from 1973 to 1998/ Assuming know wild swings in trust, the erosion has been fairly steady and for all intents and purposes linear. The internet was already up and going by 1998. You cannot blame the internet.
Most left of center media are basically political activist outlets.
Consider the Gaza hospital bombing. Why should the media get it wrong. Most 'news' has no reason to be wrong. There is no excuse. I do not need erroneous breaking news. If I get news a day or two after, it is still valuable news. Way o need is not breaking news but accurate news/ It needs to be like intel. It needs to be ACTIONABLE not necessarily first.
Erroneous news is noise instead of signal. It wastes memory space and brain power. It wastes my time. How do I compensate for it? I compensate for it with metadata. I remember witch son of a bitch reporter or news agency used headlines, adjectives paragraph placement, omissions etc to slant news or hide the truth. It were just plain wrong, lazy .uneducated in fields they cover or just out and out lied.
Metadata is extra book keeping. It is a drain on a person's mental resources, but it is necessary.
Take Democrat activists Woll of Detroit who was murdered. I bet the truth came as shock to her. Her party lied to her. The media lied to her. She lied to herself. Then the truth hit. It was a shock. No pun intended.
And those are the rigged results!
Between 2013 and 2018 there was an event. The needles swung. Pretty sure it had to do with Trump. If you dig people, probably liked Fox news reporting better.
Fox turned out to be wusses with the voting machine. They had VP on video telling an audience that their machines did not connect to the internet and they do. That VP has a PhD in physics. While he might not be a world class physicist, he obviously is very intelligent and so it is obvious that he intentionally lied.
This same VP in the week or two after the election looked scared and like he was going to flee the country. It became apparent that the Dems would carry the day and he got his back up and he and the rest of them sued.
The media is no good. That is why almost every posted article on this current page comes from MSM!!!
Fox? how much money have they thus far lost and will soon lose more for lying about Dominion voting machines?
Did they lie or were they silenced, punished and made an example of? Gotta be able to read between the lines. The fact that the government and these liberal judges came down so hard on fox might be evidence that they were actually on to something. Try not to be so simple young grasshopper
It’s the 32% that should worry us!
Carlson, Snowden, O'keefe. Names you can trust.
👍
9:29 is a liar.
how much money have they thus far lost and will soon lose more for lying about Dominion voting machines?
How much?
As much as the ruling Junta decides.
A junta that can run a holy half dead from its basement can pretty much do as it wants
929 is the truth
У лісах біля Купʼянська 1-ша гвардійська танкова армія рф перетворюється на танковий батальйон.
Та і мобільність у них, як у танкістів, не дуже.
Liar
9:29 and buddies
again the childish tactic of calling the judges and juries "fixed."
Fact: appeals were made and also failed. Fact: show where judge was carrying out his duty
"Who was the judge in the Dominion lawsuit?
Judge Eric Davis of Delaware Superior Court has been evenhanded and reasonable, legal analysts say. The defamation suit is his highest-profile case.13 Apr 2023"
Retired Army CPT, Iraq War Veteran, and J6 Defendant Gabriel Garcia Blocked from Entering Base for Medical Assistance – Biden DOJ Put Him on Terrorist List for Walking Inside US Capitol
Miseducated guy with the shit DNA and poorparentage and his heartthrob Rashia Tailb walk free while this guy is prosecuted.
again the childish tactic of calling the judges and juries "fixed."
Putin is learning from his betters in the Us. Previously, Putin would have murdered a guy like Navalny. Now like the Democrats he bankrupts them or imprisons them.
Navalny's court trial was fixed. the same can happen in the US the same has happened in the US.
Can happen is hardly the same thing as did happen
I can die. I have not yet done that.
Liar
When I say can, I mean both theoretically (which is obviously true) and in reality.
Reality is that 40 percent of people do not believe the truth like the latest. The latest is James Biden getting money form overseas for "work" and then the same day cutting a 200,000 check to his brother Joe Biden to repay a "loan".
This situation gets resolved honestly in the courts or the worst happens. Russia buys the farm. Did you really think that Russia could give so much money to the Bidens and that we would not know and would nto get back at you for it? For starters.
Good Old Mr. Dis Dat
"In passing: some 45 percent of Americans now get their news from social media. You can guess how accurate such news is."
Everyone knows this, but bore us anyway prick. Before that it was the Daily Show. DDSS
