Trust in Media is at All Time Low
Gee, who could have seen this coming?

Quote:Each year, the American people seem to trust the media less and less.

This year’s annual survey from Edelman shows trust in traditional media and social media are at all-time lows. The annual trust barometer, shared exclusively with Axios, found fewer than half of Americans trust traditional media for the first time since the survey began.

56% of Americans agree with the statement that “Journalists and reporters are purposely trying to mislead people by saying things they know are false or gross exaggerations.”

58% think that “most news organizations are more concerned with supporting an ideology or political position than with informing the public.”

When Edelman re-polled Americans after the election, the figures had deteriorated even further, with 57% of Democrats trusting the media and only 18% of Republicans.


The media doesn’t seem interested in repairing that trust. The first person Axios quoted about the problem was a woman trying to correct misinformation about vaccines – a laudable goal – but who told The New York Times: “[W]e don’t have a misinformation problem, we have a trust problem.”

Except, media misinformation really is the problem for many Americans. The media regularly gets stories wrong, particularly big stories, with disastrous results. Immediately reporting on police shootings, for example, led to riots and billions of dollars in damage to innocent businesses because the media routinely misreports the facts surrounding those police shootings.

So you're one of those 'special people' that believe there is no bias in the media. Bless your heart.

My basic opinion of American media was formed about 30-35 years ago, and has never changed in all the years since. I’m encouraged to see more people coming around to my POV, but I have to admit I’m curious what has changed. The media was just as partisan, dishonest, and hypocritical in the Reagan/Bush-41 years as it is now.

They have gotten less subtle about it. But it was always there.

The big turning point for me in terms of my opinion of the MSM was the whole Nick Sandmann/March for Life fiasco. Much of the media coverage for that incident was downright disgraceful.

And the coup de grace was the NYT Project 1619 getting a Pulitzer Prize. The last 2-3 years pretty much obliterated any and all remaining faith in elite media objectivity.
