Confidence In Television News Hits An All-Time Low

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on July 12, 2012 · Flag

A new Gallup poll finds that only 21% of American adults say they have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in television news - an all-time low.

Gallup noted:

Liberals and moderates lost so much confidence in television news this year -- 11 and 10 points, respectively -- that their views are now more akin to conservatives' views. This marks a turnaround from the pattern seen since 2009, in which liberals expressed more confidence than conservatives. Conservatives' views of television news were last similar to liberals' in June 2008, before the last presidential election. However, moderates are significantly less confident now than they were then, 20% vs. 28%.

Can anyone really blame them?

Well I am proud of America today. I thought we weren’t paying attention! But if 79% are savvy enough to realize that corporate media is no longer providing the information we need and expect, then there is hope for us! Realizing there is a problem is part of the solution.
