A new Gallup poll finds that Americans have the highest distrust ever recorded in mainstream media.  Naturally, the media didn’t cover the story.

Fewer than one in three Americans surveyed have a “great deal” or “a fair amount” of trust that the media is fair and accurate.

Worse, 36% have no trust and confidence at all.

Suspicion of the media is present in every demographic group. Just over half of Democrats (54%) have much trust in the media. Among independents the number was 27% and among Republicans only 12%. Younger people, who get most of their news online, trust the media far less than their elders. Among Democrats under the age of 30, only 31% trust the media

The last time the majority of Americans expressed trust in the mainstream media was back in 2003, over 20 years ago.
