Americans' confidence in newspapers and television news has fallen to all-time low points, according to the latest Gallup survey of institutions. Americans have the least confidence in Congress of all institutions named in the survey, but the news media institution comes in second from the bottom.
...
Just 16% of U.S. adults now say they have "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in newspapers and 11% in television news. Both are down 5 percentage points since last year, Gallup reports.
...
Gallup has tracked Americans' confidence in newspapers since 1973 and television news since 1993 as part of its annual polling about major U.S. institutions. Gallup interviews a minimum of 1,000 U.S. adults aged 18 and older for each Gallup Poll Social Series (GPSS) survey. The poll was conducted from June 1-20.

Bingo!
I don’t really buy this. People are stupid, impressionable and do what the media tell them.
The news media slanders Trump. People repeat that and Trump falls. (”Democrats say they are following the Jan.6 testimony closely. Republicans are not.-——survey.)
The news media trashes us as insurrectionists and loose cannon types. People repeat that and agree.
News media say a woman after Roe could go to prison after a miscarriage, could be denied an ectopic pregnancy crisis surgical intervention, and has lost the “Constitutional Right” guaranteed for abortion. And the women parrot that all back.
So the dimwitted and impressionable American people are increasingly voting Dem in many states and believing what the media say.
Naturally. There is no “News Media.” All there exists is a “Lies Media” with a lot of “LGBTXYZ$@#& Vulgar Pride Fairy Tales” mixed in with the lies.
And, oh! Most of the fabrications are about how great Joe Biden is and how because of it he won the general election that Trumpians lie about. Issued to the Press Corps by his Press Secretary, who fits the bill.
News media is COMPLETE propaganda for the liberal rat cause…
Ya gotta hand it to these pollsters, they’re sharp. They miss nothing. Smart like rock, sharp like doorknob, this crew. All I can say to them is pull your head outcher ass. We’ve known this. Surprise us with something we don’t know.
To say the leftists are delusional is an understatement. Imagine how they will sheeple in line when God sends them strong delusion! I am so glad I will not be here for that spectacle.
They might have no confidence in the “news media” but they still believe everything they see and hear on the news. You can’t fix ignorance.
The MSM is controlled by corrupt multi-nationals.
That 16% must be comatose.
Joseph Goebbels was part of the “news” media. All he ever did was propagandize, day and night, 24-7 (just like the USA media does now). Goebbels never killed anyone until the last day of his life when he murdered his wife and children because he was afraid of what would happen to them if the Allies took over.
Same thing is going to happen to members of the democrat media (CNN. MSNBC, NT Times, etc.). You are going to see a massive scale of suicide when Trump is returned to power.
could be enemedia employees...
Now follow me here...
The best part of this is that the news media will not report on this.
Which is too bad, because, as the poll shows, nobody believes them.
So, If they reported it, then no one would believe them, and thus their numbers would logically increase because of it.
People still read newspapers? And some even believe what they say?
There was a time that I had the newspaper delivered seven days a week and was an enthusiastic reader of the all of the news and editorial sections, the sports and arts sections and often the business section. I read it pretty much from cover to cover every day unless I was away for work or vacation.
I still took the news with a grain of salt, but enjoyed reading the articles and columns.
I can’t remember the last time I read a paper, though. About ten years ago, I think.
It hit bottom years ago and remains there.
Local paper here isn’t even good for fish wrap, and is only printed twice a week. If I watch the news, it is only for the local stories and the weather.
Fake news with the biggest wopper gets an award like CNN fake Russia collusion 🤪
Unfortunately lower confidence does not equal lack of influence.
Really good points, Frank.
