Majority Distrust U.S. Mainstream Media

Unsurprisingly, a Gallop poll found that 55 percent of Americans have little or not trust of mainstream media outlets, with 44 percent saying they have a fair amount of, or great deal of trust in major media outlets.

Concerning bias in mainstream media, 47 percent believe they are far too liberal, while 36 percent see it as being "just about right." Hilariously, 13 percent say mainstream media is too conservative.

Among Republicans, 75 percent say media are too liberal. Independents are split on the issue, with 50 percent saying media is too liberal. Moderates are also split, with 50 percent saying media are just about right. The majority of liberals see media as just about right, with 57 percent holding to that position.

The results of the poll are pretty much the same as they were in 2010.
