A poll shows the American public gives everyone very high marks for their handling of the coronavirus … except for our fake news media.
A Gallup poll released Wednesday shows the American people approve — and by wide margins — of the way every institution is responding to the coronavirus … except for the news media, whose numbers are not only awful, but in far, far, far last place.
Here’s the breakdown of approve/disapprove:
•U.S. Hospitals: 88 percent vs. 10 percent.
•Your child’s school or daycare: 83 percent vs. 9 percent
•Your state government: 82 percent vs. 17 percent
•Your employer: 82 percent vs. 14 percent
•Government health agencies such as the CDC or NIH: 80 percent vs. 17 percent
•Vice President Mike Pence: 61 percent vs. 32 percent
•President Donald Trump: 60 percent vs. 38 percent
•Congress: 59 percent vs. 37 percent
And way, way, way, way down at the bottom sits…
•The news media: 44 percent vs. 55 percent
Will you just look at that…
Every single institution responding to the Chinese virus, even congress, is above water by more than 20 points. Trump is above water by 22 points. And the media are underwater by nine.
Every single institution responding to the Chinese virus is way above 50 percent in public approval, except for the news media, which sit at a paltry 44 percent.
The media are not only in last place, the media rank behind Congress by 15 — 15! — points.
This poll was taken between March 13 and 22 of 536 employed adults and 262 parents of children under the age of 18.
And this is not the first poll to show the public’s growing disgust with the media.

BS on state gov numbers...in our state overwhelmed by politics first! Certainly no higher rating than this shows for TRUMP!
‘Not surprising. Pence has been very steady compared to Trump.’
??????? - You have access to their additional activities ‘behind the scenes’ that draws you to this finely tuned conclusion?
‘The CDC is the main federal bureaucracy established to prepare for these epidemics.’
And it seems to me they were...certainly less than prepared...and it was more than a closure of ‘a desk group’
No, but I watch the press conferences. Pence defends the administration response better than Trump, and his comments rarely require clarification.
Well perhaps we can agree that Pence has been a great asset to Trump during this crisis.
Definitely!
Yes indeed!
