Only 28% of Americans believe that TV, radio, and newspapers report news accurately, an opinion poll has indicated.
Americans’ confidence in the mass media has sunk to a record low, with fewer than three in ten now trusting news outlets to report fairly, according to a new Gallup poll.
A poll conducted in September of 1,000 adults showed that only 28% expressed a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust in newspapers, television and radio, down from 31% last year, 40% five years ago, and almost 70% in the 1970s. Meanwhile, 36% reported “not very much” confidence and 34% said they had “none at all.”
For the first time, confidence among Republicans has collapsed into single digits, with only 8% saying they trust the media. However, 51% of Democrats believed media reporting.
US President Donald Trump’s rocky relationship with the press has reportedly fueled these splits. A Harvard Kennedy School study found that Trump’s first 100 days in office drew overwhelmingly negative coverage, while the Media Research Center recently estimated that more than 90% of evening newscast stories about him on ABC, NBC, and CBS were unfavorable.
On the 100th day of his second term this year, Trump’s administration issued a press release titled “100 Days of Hoaxes,” accusing major outlets of spreading “a nonstop deluge of hoaxes and lies” and listed 48 reports it deemed false.
Beyond partisan politics, structural shifts are also eroding traditional media. A Reuters Institute report in June suggested that podcasters and AI chatbots are playing a growing role in news dissemination, with more than half of Americans under 35 relying on social and video networks as their main sources of information.
I think we can be confident that such low trust pertains to NZ too.
Main Stream Media AND politicians.
And they all think that if they just censor the internet harder, we’ll all magically go back to believing their every word again, like the good old days.
They’re so desperate to squeeze that genie back into the bottle, but it’s never going back in unfortunately.
The world is ruled over with propaganda deception and lies
Everything is bout capturing a state of mind
Look at this crap on steroids

Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke was targeted during her campaign for Parliament, with multiple incidents reported to police that Te Pāti Māori described as politically motivated.
Five separate reports were made to police during her campaign, including:
A stolen election hoarding (signage) from her property.
A suspicious vehicle near her home.
An alleged burglary and a threatening note.
A trespass notice issued to an elderly man reportedly linked to another political party.
Te Pāti Māori characterized these as politically motivated attacks, including what Maipi-Clarke described as a “ram raid”—later clarified to mean a violation of her privacy.
Police investigated all reports but stated they did not believe the incidents were racially motivated or coordinated.
No criminal charges were laid, though they acknowledged the events were unsettling.
Te Pāti Māori president John Tamihere criticized the police response as a “whitewash” and indicated the party would pursue civil action after the election?
And who Owns time Magazine?
Judaism is communism in pushing and promoting communist doctrine dogma to imbue and furnish into accepting and believing certain political agendas pertaining to psychological conditioning with aspirations to takeover and control.
Going on in NZ 24/7 just like the govt funded propaganda saturation campaigns launched from the fake platform of ‘covid’.
