Gallup: Americans' trust in media at all-time low

Image for article: Gallup: Americans' trust in media at all-time low

It looks like a majority of Americans are waking up to the reality that Trump hit with a sledgehammer a decade ago: The leftist media is fake news!

Only 28%!

I would call that number still "incredibly high" but, we're making progress.

From a dazzling height in 1975 (ironically, right after the media's Watergate frenzy) when over 70% of Americans generally trusted the media to now when that number has plummeted.

Americans are, finally, starting to see through the media's agenda.

From Gallup:

Although Democrats and Republicans continue to express different levels of trust in the news media, the percentages with high confidence in reporting are at low points among all party groups.

  • Republicans' confidence, which hasn't risen above 21% since 2015, has dropped to single digits (8%) for the first time in the trend.

  • Independents' trust has not reached the majority level since 2003, and the latest 27% reading matches last year's historical low.

  • For Democrats, the narrowest of majorities (51%) now express trust in the media, which is a repeat of the low previously seen in 2016.

Even the Democrats only half-trust the media now.

Quite a fall from grace for the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party.
