Data Point – Public confidence in the Mainstream Media

•  newspapers: fallen to 22 percent, down from 23 percent last year and tying the record low in 2007.
• higher levels of public confidence in institutions that are often criticized by the press:
  • the military (74%)
  • small business (62%)
  • the police (53%)
  • organized religion (45%).

Heh!: Faith in the U.S. Congress currently stands at seven percent, down from 10 percent last year.

Maybe those number, for both the Media and Politicians, would go if they actually did their actual jobs (instead of what they now believe them to be)
