The Briefing
In 1994, 35% of consumers had a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of trust in TV news In 2020, only 18% feel the same way Unsurprisingly, younger Americans are more skeptical than older Americans Trust in TV News has Dropped Among U.S. Consumers
Americans are increasingly losing their trust in traditional institutions, particularly when it comes to TV news.
In 2020, a whopping 49% of U.S. consumers claim to have very little or no trust in TV news, compared to just 27% in 1994:

What’s causing this loss of trust? A recent report by Knight Foundation and Gallup surveyed 20,000 U.S. adults to find out. Based on the responses, the survey found that:
Too Much Bias A majority of Americans see “a great deal” of political bias in news coverage (46%). A Hidden Agenda Americans believe news outlets have a hidden agenda, and inaccurate reporting is intentional — 52% believe reporters will misrepresent facts on purpose. Younger Americans are More Skeptical 43% of Americans aged 65+ have favorable views towards media, while only 20% of Americans under 30 years feel the same way. Despite these hesitations, a majority of Americans still believe news is a critical part of a democratic society.

Speaking of Millinial Snoflake culture and their love of thought control,
Can anyone send me a youtube link to watch the Rally?
Youtube scrubbed the channels in my history from last night and no other fake news is showing it... Thank You!
This should not be a shock to anyone. Lairs lie...that is what they do.
I’ve seen polls like this for years, but when voting time comes, it seems that the majority are influenced by the Fake News being pumped out daily. Millions of people believe Trump advised drinking bleach, millions believe Russian Collusion, millions believe the Charlottesville BS.
I’d like to believe all these polls about how few trust the media, but until I see massive amounts of vote shifting to back that up, I don’t believe them.
Hope they go away and all those biased poofie adolescent news talkers are replaced with a cartoon graphic reading the news; or not. Maybe TV news will be history as people migrate to online news sources.
I CAN’T WAIT for all of these bastards to be eating crow with NOT one shred of credibility left!!!
CAN’T. WTH
they stopped “reporting” the news looooooooong ago, and started trying to create the news to then report on. They also started consciously ignoring some stories and promoting others as a form of affirmative action. (ie. the trend to stop mentioning a criminals race if and only if the criminal was black and later Muslim or an illegal alien)
The majority? If that's true, how did Trump get elected in 2016? And how did Trump win in a landslide in 2020, to the point where they had to literally stop the election to give them time to gin up fraudulent votes?
You're assuming that the election steal didn't take away a Trump election landslide.
I wouldn't make that assumption.
Or perhaps you hold out that possibility since you used the phrase "it seems".
They think crow is like turkey to them.
Fox got in just at the right time for the downward spiral, enjoy the ride!
