Skepticism of the Press is justified. And it doesn't bode well for our democracy. It would also partially explain why America has descendant into a deep abyss. The mainstream press isn't about accuracy or truth - but profit.
More bad news for journalists: The percentage of people who believe their work is inaccurate and biased continues to grow.
Nearly two-thirds — 63% — of Americans surveyed by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press believe that news stories are often inaccurate. That’s a flip from when Pew first asked that question in 1985, when 34% of respondents believed stories were frequently inaccurate.
Pew also found that 74% of respondents believe stories tend to favor one side of an issue over another, up from 66% two years ago.
Those trends tend to go hand in hand, said Andrew Kohut, the Pew center’s director.
“If people believe that news reports are often biased, they will say they’re inaccurate,” he said.
