Gallup said this represents a four-percentage-point drop since last year; and it marks the end of earlier improvements since the record low of 32 percent trust in 2016, the run-up to the election.

Gallup said Republicans' trust is at a very low level -- 15 percent; while 69 percent of Democrats and 36 percent of independents say they have trust and confidence in the media.

Tells me 41% of respondents are either lying, idiots, or both.

Think of this: There are two major political parties and 85% of one of them thinks the allegedly “fair and unbiased” news media is untrustworthy.

What an indictment of the journalism industry.

Mistrustful is different than distrustful.

The former implies that you trust something you shouldn’t.

The latter implies that you don’t trust something.

We distrust the media. Democrats mistrust it.

And it JUST keeps getting worse, no correction, or coming back to a more balanced view of the news. Strickly opinions of very leftist journalists whose job is to destroy Donald J. Trump. No more CNN for me.

My trust in the media (anywhere, US, UK, Europe, etc) ranks somewhere in the league of Prava, press releases from the previous Stassi or KGB, announcements by ChiComs or Badgdad Bob.

It is a case of pick ‘em as far as I’m concerned.

“while 69 percent of Democrats”

How illustrative of their relationship.

Why-ever would people distrust the Goebbels-Mushroom("Keep 'em in the dark. Feed 'em bullsh*t")-Media?

It couldn't have anything to do with their 92% negative coverage of President Trump.

The partisan split is remarkable. It says a lot about media bias. Of course the media would dismiss it as Republicans being either stupid or crazy.

Hi.

I have one piece of data for their poll.

I distrust the media. Distrust. All of the corporate main stream media.
The reasons and facts are voluminous.

Who are these 13%?
Kooks. Or twenty-somethings. Or Democrat die-hards.

Even the Dummies don’t trust the media.

They think it’s a right wing, Trump supporting echo chamber.

No kidding......

It’s amazing to me that the current media — which is supposed to be a money-making business for its investors — can continue to turn away well over 50% of its available audience.

It really seems to me that there is a huge hole in the market to be filled by someone with deep pockets. I’m not talking about a right-leaning network, but one that is fair and even-handed.

There’s a huge opportunity out there waiting to be filled.
