A report from Gallup and the Knight Foundation released Wednesday highlights Americans’ plummeting trust in the news media.
According to the poll, half of Americans believe the mass media intends to misinform with its reporting. It’s evident in the data uncovered that Americans are trying to square an imaginary civic vision of the media with the realities of the industry.
The Gallup/Knight survey found that only 26% of Americans hold a favorable view of the news media, the lowest figure recorded in the survey’s five-year history. 53% have an expressly unfavorable view.
But the most notable figure is that 50% of Americans believe that “most national news organizations intend to mislead, misinform or persuade the public.”
In other words, it’s not that these Americans think the news media falls short of adequately informing consumers, they believe it is actively working to deceive the public.
