Looks like current MSM will be going out of business , hopefully new media won't get controlled/compromised like the old one.

Americans' trust in media at all-time low

By Dylan Byers
Americans' trust in the national news media remains at an all-time low.

A new Gallup (http://www.gallup.com/poll/185927/americans-trust-media-remains-historical-low.aspx?g_source=Politics&g_medium=newsfeed&g_campaign=tiles) poll shows that just 40% of Americans have "a great deal" or "a fair amount" of trust and confidence in the media to report the news fully, accurately and fairly.

That figure, which ties Gallup statistics for 2012 and 2014, represents a steep decline from the 55% high in the late 1990s when Gallup began polling.
Trust in the media is even lower among young Americans aged 18 to 49, where just 36% of that demographic expressed faith in news media outlets. Forty-five percent of those aged 50 and older said they trust the media to be fair and accurate.

I would have guessed a higher # than 64.

Can't really blame the vast majority of young Americans.

In other news 64% of Americans (age 18-49) will answer YES to any question asked by a pollster with a slight hint indicating the desired answer.

Does that count if you trust one media outlet but not another as "not trusting media"? A Fox viewer for example may distrust CNN and vice versa.

64%+ of young Americans trust the memes they like and share on FB.

I'm with WW. Which media outlet of the distrusted media put out this poll? :)

I wonder how many of those 64% would say "I distrust the media but thank God for FOX (or MSNBC) for being a lone voice of the truth." I know some people like that.
