Gallup's annual trust in media survey was released this week and the findings are more ominous for the state of the industry than ever before.Just 32% of American adults trust the media, tying the all-time low set in 2016. But here's where matters really go south: Nearly four-in-ten (39%) say they have no trust in the media whatsoever, marking the highest number saying that in the poll's history and a 12-point drop from the 2016 poll. For contrast, just 7% say they have a "great deal" of trust in the Fourth Estate.
If you look at the numbers, Democrats generally think the mainstream media is A-OK while both Republicans and Independents think they suck. This is a trend that has widened over 20 years.

WHAT? The "Biden stole the election/climate change is a hoax/Fauci should be imprisoned/January 6 was an Antifa operation/the weaponized Deep State is out to destroy Trump, who did nothing wrong" faction doesn't have faith in the news?
And yet Republicans' steadfast faith that the devastating Biden Recession is on our doorstep never, never plummets...
Today's news: U.S. economy glows red hot with a 4.9% GDP reading for the third quarter
Oopsie doodles!
I would say "better luck next time," but this is already the fifth time after next time.
"Ho ho, see? No one is fooled by the mainstream media anymore."
"Boo hoo, the mainstream media uses its massive influence against conservatives."
(Jump from one to the other as needed.)
