Media credibility dropping


A new Gallup Poll shows Americans don't trust the national news media. The poll found that less than half of Americans, regardless of party affiliation, have "a great deal of trust or a fair amount of trust" in the national media.

Hmmm. Doesn't take a genius to figure out why we don't trust the media. Take the Iraq War. The media's coverage of the Iraq War is about car bombs, Blackwater, Halliburton, and Abu Greib, not what is happening on the ground.

Here is the link to the Gallup Poll. Click the above chart to enlarge.
