Only 31% of Americans say they have confidence that the press reports news fairly and accurately
For the third consecutive year, the number of Americans who claim to completely distrust the media remained higher than those who trust it. The new poll, however, demonstrated a slight drop, with 36% of respondents expressing complete distrust versus 39% in 2023.
A large gap remains between Republicans and Democrats, with only 12% of the former expressing trust in media reporting against 54% of the latter. However, the partisan gap has actually been narrowing in the last couple of years. According to data aggregated by Gallup, in 2022, for instance, some 70% of Democrats expressed confidence in the media.

I wouldn’t give Carlson any credit for intentionality. He’s a CIA asset* who’s built a massive audience through his unique everyman schtick. He knows his task is to maintain the masses’ false consciousness, and he does it well.
*Probably, but it hardly matters: he was born to wealth and his father was a Voice of America director, so same difference.
