A record high 57 percent of Americans distrust the news media to report the news fully, according to a Gallup Poll survey this month.


As compiled by trade publication Editor & Publisher, the random digit-dial sampling of 1,019 adults found that 48 percent of those queried believe the news media is too liberal, compared to 15 percent who consider it too conservative. Lower-income, less-educated respondents were more trusting of news media accounts than their higher-educated, better-heeled counterparts.
