Media Confidence Ratings at Record Lows
Gallup ^ | October 20, 2023 | Megan Brenan

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Americans' confidence in two facets of the news media -- newspapers and television news -- has fallen to all-time low points. Just 16% of U.S. adults now say they have "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in newspapers and 11% in television news. Both readings are down five percentage points since last year.

Gallup has tracked Americans' confidence in newspapers since 1973 and television news since 1993 as part of its annual polling about major U.S. institutions. The latest readings are from a June 1-20 poll that saw declines in confidence ratings for 11 of the 16 institutions measured and no improvements for any.

The 11 percent must’ve misunderstood the Gallop pollster.

Many of the 11% are older people who know nothing of the internet and nothing but what the MSM tells them.

Numbers are way too high. They must be sandbagging!
