After all the fake news that’s been published by main stream media, it’s no surprise.
In the poll, 72% don't trust newspapers on most issues and on the issue of Coronavirus, just 17% believe what they are reading.
TV journalists are just as untrusted by the public, especially on the issue of Coronavirus, with 64% not believing what they are being told.
Trust in journalism has been dropping for many years:
It is particularly noticeable now because levels of trust in leading politicians has jumped up in this crisis. Suddenly the press are less trusted than the people they are holding us to account.
Most of criticism for journalists is bought about over the constant "attacking" the government is getting in the daily press conferences. The most annoying aspect is that journalist ask complicated questions then don’t allow the politicians to answer fully before shouting them down with another question.
TAXI LEAKS EXTEA BIT:
News papers are is a dramatic fight for survival.
One nation, the Evening Standard, actually has to give the paper away to keep its advertising revenue. But even they are having a hard time with people not picking up free copies.
