Americans Trust Facebook More than the Media

A recent Zogby poll finds that more Americans trust Facebook (13%) "completely" or "a lot" than the Media (8%). Twitter ties with the Media at 8%.

How much do you trust each of the following?

The news is even worse for the Media from the young. Only 6% of those ages 18 to 29 give the Media a good grade. Two and half times that number (15%) give Twitter high marks and more than three times as many (20%) find Facebook more trustworthy.

The Media keeps damaging its brand with poor and biased reporting, and it shows in confidence rate at single digits in the polls.
