The public’s trust in news outlets is among the lowest in the free world, a trend that has spiraled downward for years and appears to continue to do so.
Regardless if it is trust in legacy or alternative media, the decline since President Joe Biden took office has registered in double digits, according to the latest I&I/TIPP Media Trust Index shared with Secrets.
In the I&I/TIPP survey, just 38% trusted establishment media, such as the Washington Post. And only 29% said it trusted alternative news sources, including conservative outlets.
Those numbers aren’t good. "Trust in media is in free fall," said the survey.

“38% trusted establishment media, such as the Washington Post”
However many stupid people you think there are, you’re underestimating that number.
Why? Just because they’re inveterate liars? I don’t think the public should hold things like making up “Let’s go, Brandon” against them
Continuously Not News
Wanna quit abusing the breaking and frontpage sidebars?
I have not watched CBSNBCABCCNNMSNBCWahingtonPostNewYorkTimesNPR (et al) in twenty years. I am a better man for it.
Nobody to blame but themselves but then again I don’t think they care, they know their purpose is no longer to inform but to manipulate and advocate for communists.
Kind of reminds me of what they used to say about news in the USSR, Pravda and Isvestia.
There is no truth in Pravda and no news in Isvestia, the joke being pravda means truth and isvestia means news.
We seem to be morphing into the Soviet Union.
Only entity I trust less than news media is anything federal gub mint
“We seem to be morphing into the Soviet Union.”
Putin, an ex-torturer for the KGB, recently saw fit to lecture us on morality.
“38% trusted establishment media”
Folks, if you ever wanted to know what percentage of the general public are completely gullible imbeciles, there you have it. They’ve finally quantified it: 38 per 100.
“Lowest in the world”. It deserves to be lower.
Eff Joe Biden, I mean Let’s Go Brandon.
The numbers never change. Odd.
Every national election is 50/50. It’s best that way. You can steal it and people will say that’s just the way the ball bounces.
If Biden burned an orphanage to the ground at 2:00 am, strangely 38% of the orphans would agree it was the right thing to do.
Every poll is manufactured and the people who believe them are in fact low information slobs who vote for people and policies that do not represent their best interest.
They have NO sense of self preservation.
The U.S. news media through centralized ownership has become homogenized down into a single viewpoint source.
Crazy... & for years it was common knowledge how bad the media has become. Now it’s suddenly news?!?!
Clowns shaking their ass on social apps and giving a holla' to their homies have more legitimacy than the Propaganda Media.
Let no one forget how many "legitimate" sources insisted the NOOSECAR crowd was yelling "Let's Go Brandon" when they were clearly yelling "Eff Joe Biden". It's not surprising that Kelli Stavast works for NBC, the same network that employs the inveterate liar Brian Williams. She joins the Hall of Propaganda along with such liars as Dan Rather.
It’s global media, it’s the same around the world.
“Every national election is 50/50. It’s best that way. You can steal it and people will say that’s just the way the ball bounces.”
I used to wonder how it was possible that half the voters were leftard dimwits.
You’re right. It isn’t.
