U.S. MEDIA FAILING: Poll Shows America Ranks Last in Public Trust for News Outlets

Last among 46 countries – including autocracies. 

According to the Daily Caller, “The survey, commissioned by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, was conducted among 92,000 people worldwide, and found that among those in the U.S., just 29% said they trusted their news media the majority of the time. Finland ranked the highest at 65%, while Slovakia, Hungary and France each ranked just above the U.S. at 30%.”

The survey also found that most countries saw an increase in media trust compared to last year. But America – flat.

“This is an extraordinary (though unsurprising) finding,” journalist Glenn Greenwald said after the report’s release. “Most amazing is that the corporate sector of the US media is failing in every respect: financially, culturally, collapsing trust,” The Caller reported.
