A new poll from Gallup
finds that very few Americans trusts newspapers currently.
The poll surveyed just over 1,500-adults and found that just
23-percent said they had a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of
confidence about what they read in newspapers.
The poll noted the rise of the internet and social media sites and the increasingly partisan nature of cable news as factors in the declining confidence.
Americans' confidence in television news was highest, at
46%, in 1993, when Gallup
first asked about it. The question does not indicate the specific type of
television news, meaning respondents could be thinking about anything ranging
from cable news channels to local news when answering the survey.
