Corporate media is facing a crisis of credibility, according to a recent Gallup poll that highlights a staggering decline in public trust over the years.
The survey indicates that a shocking 36% of Americans expressed "no trust" in mass media outlets, a stark contrast to just 6% in 1972.
This trust deficit has been fueled by the media's persistent negative coverage of prominent conservative figures, including Donald Trump.
In fact, 59% of Republicans reported a lack of trust in corporate media, with a significant portion of independents sharing similar sentiments.
These figures are not just numbers; they represent a broader frustration with how corporate news outlets have handled critical stories, particularly those involving the Biden administration.
It’s a well-documented issue that many prominent journalists and networks have gone to great lengths to shield President Biden from scrutiny, a situation that contrasts sharply with the relentless coverage and accusations directed at Trump during his presidency.
From debunked collusion claims to narrative-driven reporting, it appears that the media has repeatedly sacrificed journalistic integrity for political agendas.
This trend only serves to further alienate an audience that is increasingly aware of the biases embedded in mainstream journalism.
As people wonder where to turn for honest news coverage, many are seeking out alternative sources that pledge transparency and accountability.
With the current administration under fire from their own public, it seems that the American people have become more discerning consumers of news, demanding a return to factual reporting.
