Shocking Poll: Only 2% of Young People Trust the News Media

The news media is trusted less than a used car salesman, apparently, especially with young people. A new poll finds that only 2 percent trust the media to “do the right thing.”

In fact, in this poll, the media comes in dead last in the trust department.

The media limps in dead last among institutions younger voters trust to “do the right thing,” according to a new and massive Harvard University survey.

In the school’s Institute of Politics poll of over 3,000 18-29-year-olds, a tiny 12 percent said they believe the do the right thing. A whopping 88 percent said “sometimes” or “never.” Just 2 percent said they trusted the media to do the right thing “all of the time,” and 39 percent said “never.”

The poll is the latest nail in the media’s coffin, a downward spiral that has resulted in fewer younger Americans reading traditional media and especially traditional platforms such as newspapers and magazines.

The media fails to do its job every single day. In fact, that is why our site here exists in many ways!
