Today – Season 68 Americans have such a lack of confidence in the legacy media’s reporting that only six out of every 100 Republicans have any confidence in television news, according to a new poll. Their views reflect the deep distrust of the American people: Only 16% of all U.S. citizens say they can believe what they see on television. About one in five Americans trusts newspapers, a Gallup poll released on Wednesday found.
Gallup tracks public confidence in “14 core institutions” every year. This year’s results find that the American people’s trust has declined nearly across the board since the waning days of the coronavirus global pandemic. Strong, bipartisan majorities of Americans trust the military (69%) and small businesses (70%). Americans generally express low confidence in Congress, big business, and the criminal justice system.
But the two parties differ sharply on which other institutions deserve public support.
“Republicans have far more confidence than Democrats in the police and the church,” reported Gallup.
That contrast comes into stark view when it comes to the media. Only 6% of Republicans told pollsters they have “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the news reported by broadcast media networks, while 25% of Democrats trust TV news — a 25% gap. Similarly, 8% of Republican or Republican-leaning voters trust newspapers, as compared to 35% of Democrats, a 27-point confidence gap.
The Gallup poll follows another poll from Reuters last month that found Americans have less confidence in the media than any other country of the 46 nations surveyed.
The reason is not hard to discern: President Biden has received less negative coverage than any president in 30 years, including fellow Democrats Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, according to a report from the Pew Research Center. Yet the press corps’ coverage of President Donald Trump hovered around 90% negative throughout his four years in office, according to the Media Research Center.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
