There's a new poll out with interesting info on how much trust people have in different media. The figures are surprising. Adults tend to trust radio (first) and the Internet (second) before they trust TV and print (dead last). I think the results here may have been affected by the fact that they called the print category "press," which I would take to mean the entire media field, but maybe I'm just reading too much into this.
Look, if you readers are going to trust me that much, I appreciate it. I am, after all, The Baron. But you would trust the news from me before The New York Times? There's something screwy going on with this data. It's one thing if you think the Times or the Wall Street Journal have political leanings, as they undoubtedly do, but does that mean you trust their information less than the folks at Gothamist (a site I love)? I'm totally confused. This is like when I found that women actually pay to have someone rip their eyebrows out with hot wax.
Internet is More Trusted News Source Than Print, TV
