Gallup: Less Than One Fourth of Americans Trust Newspapers
8 Replies to “Deep Impact”
That’s not the problem. Over half of them DO trust leftards.
Probably only 1/4 of Americans read newspapers. The rest trust CNN.
I do enjoy watching the big leftist newspapers fail – Schadenfreude ist die beste Freude – how useful it is is another matter.
If you follow the highlighted link, it shows a similar trend in television, too. http://www.gallup.com/poll/163097/americans-confidence-newspapers-continues-erode.aspx
As citizens become more jaded with the Obama administration will that also reflect on how they feel about the Mainstream Media who have been Obama’s biggest boosters?
Maybe we that is part of what is driving this trend. The MSM has bet their business future on the Obama Administration.
Note how the decline in trust of the MSM coincides with their support for political correctness over the same time period.
The wages of deception are mistrust.
Did the poll also ask them if they trust polls? And do the pollsters trust the respondents?
Hey, I still subscribe to the local liberal rag, two sheets fit perfectly in the bottom of Polly’s birdcage.

That 1/4 still do. I statement to the Iron willed , steadfast stupidity of human intelligence, resisting reality.
Here’s the thing though, no matter how depraved the political establishment is, no matter how embroiled in scandal after scandal, some critical mass of the electorate will only respond with a “Do I still get my check?”
I trust my local newspaper, just not anything with a Reuters or Associated Press byline. That means I like the Weather Report, Sports and the local knitting news.
