WASHINGTON (AFP) – No more than one-quarter of Americans trusts the news media, but the greatest confidence in the struggling newspaper industry ironically comes from young people, a poll said Friday.

I am one who does not know which media to trust. The shame of it is when it is about a missing child or person. There is either incorrect information or what information there is there is a 'spin' on it.

Sad state of affairs when the National Enquirer has the cutting edge on the news.

I can honestly say,even my local news,is not to be trusted. There have been occasions when people that I know,have been in the news,not always for bad reasons,some for good things,and the reporting is always inaccurate. Its ridiculous. Thats why I just don't trust anything I see or hear.
