A new News Literacy Project report shows what years of lopsided coverage and partisan framing have produced: an entire generation that doesn’t buy what the mainstream press is selling. Teens ages 13–18, who live in the most information-saturated era in history, overwhelmingly view the news media as untrustworthy, biased, and often dishonest.

The report opens with a blunt assessment:

“A majority of teens (84%) offered a negative word to describe news media… including ‘Fake,’ ‘Crazy,’ ‘Boring,’ ‘Biased’ and ‘Sad.’”

Those negative words weren’t vague sentiments. They were specific accusations. The largest category (19%) used terms tied to deception:

“Fake,” “False,” “Lies,” “Misleading,” and “Untrustworthy.”

For decades, legacy media insulated itself from criticism while openly choosing sides in cultural and political battles. Teenagers have grown up watching that play out in real time across social platforms and raw, unfiltered sources. They see the contrast, and they no longer give the press the benefit of the doubt.

The NLP report makes clear the depth of the credibility collapse. When asked what journalists do well, the largest “positive” response group wasn’t positive at all:

“81 teens said journalists do well at lying and deceiving… including ‘Telling lies,’ ‘Reporting fake news,’ ‘Overexaggerating,’ ‘Spreading misinformation,’ and ‘Gaslighting.’”

And when invited to describe what journalists should improve, teens overwhelmingly landed on the obvious:

“Telling the truth,” “Fact checking,” and “Not lying.”

Even more striking, teens think unethical newsroom behavior is routine. The report notes:

“Half of teens believe journalists make up details, such as quotes… and 6 in 10 believe journalists take photos and videos out of context.”

This is the predictable outcome of a media ecosystem that long ago abandoned even the pretense of neutrality. Today’s teens have unprecedented access to competing information sources, raw footage, independent journalists, and direct statements from public figures. When they compare that to how corporate media packages the news, the disconnect is obvious.

The result? A collapsing trust environment—and a generation that sees the legacy press not as a watchdog, but as just another political actor.

As the report bluntly summarizes:

“Teens consistently demonstrated the belief that unethical behaviors… are more common than standards-based practices.”

The media spent years lecturing the public. Now the youngest Americans are lecturing back.

they believe they are above the law and can commit fraud any time they want with impunity

they are correct that they are above the law because nothing is ever done about their crimes

yes, it might hit the news cycle, but it is soon forgotten about and they just go on their merry way

let's see if they yet again get away with it this time

compare and contrast

when Trump was accused of russia collusion, the cabal/deep state media minions pounded the story into the minds of the populace day after day, week after week, month after month

when cabal/deep state operatives are accused of crimes, such as hillary e-mails, obamagate cronies such as obama, brennan, clapper, etc., the cabal/deep state media may report it, but then quickly back pedals and tries to memory hole

Michael and Susan Dell announced Tuesday that they have committed $6.25 billion to fund investment accounts for some 25 million American children.

The couple’s donation will be the largest ever devoted to American children, according to Invest America, a nonprofit advocacy group partnered with the Dells.

“It’s designed to help families feel supported from the start and encourage them to keep saving as their children grow,” Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies

, told CNBC in an interview. “We know that when children have accounts like this, they’re much more likely to graduate from high school, from college, buy a home, start a business and less likely to be incarcerated.”

The Dells’ commitment goes hand in hand with a new federal government program that allows parents to open tax-advantaged investment accounts for children under 18 with Social Security numbers. Under the federal program, U.S. citizens born from the beginning of 2025 through 2028 will receive a federal grant of $1,000 to seed those so-called Trump accounts. Parents will be able to open and contribute to these accounts starting on July 4, 2026, with IRS guidance yet to be issued.

The Dells have committed to seed Trump accounts with $250 for children who are 10 or under who were born before Jan. 1, 2025. According to Invest America, the pledged funds will cover 25 million children age 10 and under in ZIP codes with a median income of $150,000 or less.

“We want to help the children that weren’t part of the government program,” Dell said.
