I'm the first to agree. The media was ineffectual when Bush was pushing for a war in Iraq. In some cases, they laid down and played dead; in others they actually promoted the war. I had to turn to the British media and the WWW to get the truth. The media can't screw around anymore; corporate types can't manipulate like they were doing earlier in the decade and still do at Fox News. The internet won't allow it. The media is supposed to be the fourth estate.....they best not forget that role in the future. We've seen it reflected in nearly every poll over the last 10 years or so and here is another one that confirms the downward spiral in trust of the media. In a press release for a Sacred Heart University poll, those respondents who said they believe all or most of what the media has to tell them fell 8% since 2003. In 2003 27.4% of the poll's respondents said that they trusted all or most of what the MSM reports. In 2007 that number plummeted to just 19.6%. 23.9% said they believe little or nothing that comes out of the MSM with 55.3% saying they believe some of what the media churns out.
