Public Distrust In Media Peaks To All Time High
by Joseph Ernest September 29, 2010
Newscast Media -- In June I wrote an article that showed polls indicating the public distrusts the mainstream media and trusts social media more. A new study has now been released that shows the public distrust of the media has peaked.
Since Gallup began gathering data only 43 percent have a fair amount or a great deal of trust in the media, which is the lowest ever rating according to Gallup.
Forty-eight percent believe the media is too liberal while only 15 percent of find that it tilts too conservative. Just 33 percent believe coverage is "just about right."
Fifty-nine percent of Democrats have significantly more trust in the media, and who indicate the news to be reported fairly while just 32 percent of Republicans said the same. The survey of 1,019 adults was conducted Sept. 13-16 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
