Trustiness
Desi at Mia Culpa linked to a very intriguing Zogby study on trustworthiness. Some highlights:
o 59% of respondents have a negative view of the current state of honesty in the US.
o 75% say they have less trust in their government than they did five years ago, and only 8% say more. (Interesting choice of timeframe there)
o 24% give the President a favorable rating for trustworthiness. The courts get 29%, the media 11%, and Congress… 3%. Ouch.
o This one is mystifying. Favorable ratings for various types of media, in ascending order:
Internet: 19%
Newspapers: 25%
Broadcast TV: 25%
Cable TV: 65%
SIXTY-FIVE PERCENT????
What. The. Bloody. Hell. I was starting to feel, well, kind of optimistic up to that point.
