Gallup: Majority of Americans Don't Trust News Media to Be Unbiased

According to Gallup, 55% of the American people do not believe the mass media reports the news without bias. Which proves that 45% of the American people don’t read Politico.

The numbers get even more interesting as you drill down. Only 20% of Democrats believe the MSM is too conservative, but… Are you ready for this? The same percentage of Democrats believe the MSM is too liberal.

Gallup:

The majority of Americans still do not have confidence in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly. The 44% of Americans who have a great deal or fair amount of trust and the 55% who have little or no trust remain among the most negative views Gallup has measured. …

The majority of Americans (60%) also continue to perceive bias, with 47% saying the media are too liberal and 13% saying they are too conservative, on par with what Gallup found last year. The percentage of Americans who say the media are “just about right” edged up to 36% this year but remains in the range Gallup has found historically.

And if you’re not reading Politico, please carry on.
