POLL: Just 29% of Americans Claim They Trust The Media
For years, the mainstream media has carried water for the Democratic Party and leftism -- and people have noticed.
The media may hold itself up as the judge of what is true or not -- but an overwhelming majority of Americans do not trust the media.
Only 29 percent of Americans agreed that “they trust most news most of the time,” the Reuters Institute reported, based on its latest polling.
“While many remain very engaged, we find signs that others are turning away from the news media and in some cases avoiding news altogether,” Reuters Institute reported, based on its survey of a number of countries. “Interest in news has fallen sharply in the United States following the election of President Biden – especially with right-leaning groups.”
“Most also think that news outlets should try to be neutral on every issue (66%), though some younger groups think that ‘impartiality’ may not be appropriate or desirable in some cases – for example, on social justice issues,” the polling group said.
There are a number of reasons for the low support. Some liberals, based on the report, appear to believe the media does not treat their favored groups in a biased enough way. Conservatives, meanwhile, believe the media is already biased against conservatives.
