Americans’ trust in the media to report the news fairly and accurately has sunk to its lowest point in more than five decades.
Just 31 percent of respondents in Gallup’s latest survey on the topic said they trust the mainstream media “a great deal” or “a fair amount,” while 36 percent said they don’t trust the media “at all.” Another third said they do not have much trust in the media.
Plenty of books have been written about ‘media bias’ well before the internet but to read such books back then meant being branded as a mental case or a kkk extremist etc by that same media which swayed the gullible ww2 generation against documented truth.
