A Gallup poll finds only 28% of adults trust the media to report news “fully, accurately and fairly,” a record low since the company first surveyed the issue in 1972.  Deserved.

     The polling company reported that this tally is down from 31% of adults last year, the previous nadir in the trend.  Also, adults responding to this year’s survey said they had “not very much” confidence (36%) or “none at all” (34%) in the nation’s newspapers, TV and radio outlets.
