Americans are less confident than ever before in newspapers and television news, according to a survey released Monday by Gallup.
Only 11% of U.S. adults polled stated that they have a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in television news, while 16% said the same about newspapers.
Americans' faith in both media institutions has fallen 5 points from last year.
At its height, 51% of Americans expressed a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in newspapers in 1971.
When Gallup first started asking about television news in 1993, faith was at a record high, with 46% of U.S. adults saying they had a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence.
Just 5% of Americans now say they have a "great deal" of confidence in newspapers, compared to 46% who said they have "very little" confidence or "none."
More than half of all Americans, 53%, expressed "very little" confidence or "none" in television news and only 4% reported having a "great deal" of confidence in the platform.
Democrats have consistently expressed the most confidence in newspapers since the survey began in 1973.
More than a third of Democrats (35%) stated they have a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in newspapers in 2022, compared to just 5% of Republicans who responded similarly.

Thai pro-democracy activists hit with Israeli NSO Group’s spyware, researchers say
Citizen Lab finds at least 30 activists, scholars and people working with civil society groups who participated in 2020-2021 protests were targeted with Pegasus software
By AP and TOI STAFF
Today, 10:26 am
BANGKOK — Cybersecurity researchers say that Thai activists involved in the country’s pro-democracy protests had their cell phones or other devices infected and attacked with government-sponsored spyware.
Investigators of the cybersecurity research groups Citizen Lab and iLaw found that at least 30 individuals — including activists, scholars and people working with civil society groups — were targeted for surveillance with Pegasus, a spyware produced by Israeli-based cybersecurity company NSO Group.
Those whose devices were attacked were either involved in the pro-democracy protests that took place between 2020 and 2021, or were publicly critical of the Thai monarchy. The two groups said lawyers who defended the activists also were under such digital surveillance.
The Pegasus spyware is known for “zero-click exploits” which means it can be installed remotely onto a target’s phone, without the target having to click any links or download software.
NSO Group’s products, including the Pegasus software, are typically licensed only to government intelligence and law enforcement agencies to investigate terrorism and serious crime, according to the company’s website.
The reports by Citizen Lab and iLaw do not accuse any specific government actor but say the use of Pegasus indicates the presence of a government operator.
The attacks on the individuals’ devices spanned from October 2020 to November 2021, a timing “highly relevant to specific Thai political events” since they took place over the period of time when pro-democracy protests erupted across the country.
“There is longstanding evidence showing Pegasus presence in Thailand, indicating that the government would likely have had access to Pegasus during the period in question,” researchers said in the report.
The over 30 individuals targeted were also “of intense interest to the Thai government.”
The victims targeted and the timing of the attacks reflect information that would be easy to obtain by Thai authorities, the researchers said.

Recall, the cargo plane An-12 of the Ukrainian airline "Meridian", crashed on the evening of July 16 in Greece, about 12 kilometers from the small town of Kavala. As reported officially, on board was approximately 12 tons of "probably dangerous" cargo. In any case, the Greek rescuers who arrived at the scene were at first not allowed to carry out the work, limiting their presence to at least a kilometer to the nearest flaming foci, due to the secondary detonation of the remains of the cargo, and after the secondary detonation, they were dressed in sealed suits just in case. That caught up with the horrors of both the locals and the world press. But no signs of remnants of chemical weapons or nuclear materials could be found. This is not surprising, since the An-12 was not carrying weapons of mass destruction, but also not training mines, as official authorities said, but a completely different cargo.
According to information published by the highly informed Telegram channel NEZYGAR, the aircraft was carrying weapons that Ukraine resold from its reserves received from Western countries.
"More than a hundred Nlow ATGMs, 55 Stingers and about a hundred More Javelin ATGMs, as well as 500 Kalashnikov assault rifles and BK to them," Nezygar said. According to him, all these weapons were sold on June 28 by a representative of the military intelligence of Ukraine (GUR) on the direct order of the head of the DIU Kirill Budanov to the military wing of the Middle East Hezbollah. The deal went through a Serbian organized crime group that specializes in arms smuggling. The value of the contract, including the goods themselves, their transportation and commissions to Serbian smugglers amounted to 9 million US dollars, of which 3 million were already transferred as an advance to accounts in the UAE.
