CBS News incident latest in long history of media mistakes
by Mark Gillespie
GALLUP NEWS SERVICE
PRINCETON, NJ -- As media analysts and journalists wring their hands over the fallout from CBS News' faulty reporting relative to President George W. Bush's Vietnam-era National Guard service, a new Gallup Poll finds the news media's credibility has declined significantly among the public. The Sept. 13-15 poll -- conducted after the CBS News report was questioned but before the network issued a formal apology -- found that just 44% of Americans express confidence in the media's ability to report news stories accurately and fairly (9% say "a great deal" and 35% "a fair amount"). This is a significant drop from one year ago, when 54% of Americans expressed a great deal or fair amount of confidence in the media. The latest result is particularly striking because this figure had previously been very stable -- fluctuating only between 51% and 55% from 1997-2003.
Conversely, 39% currently say they have "not very much" confidence in the media's accuracy and fairness, while 16% say they have "none at all."
Clearly, something new has happened to shake public confidence in the media, but whether that "something" is the recent CBS News controversy is a matter of speculation. One might assume that if the CBS News story were the culprit, that this would be reflected in a disproportionately large drop in confidence in the media among Republicans. However, the data on this is not conclusive. Trust in the news media is typically lower among Republicans, but all three partisan groups show a significant decline in confidence in the media since last year. It did drop by a somewhat greater degree among Republicans than Democrats, however.

Zell sure gave Mathews a change of attitude!
i saw O'Neal on his show last night and Chrissy treated him with RESPECT! gave him a chance to actually talk in sentences without interruption .
O'Neal's gentle, calm approach works very well |

Yes, I noticed that too. He looked like he was doing as he was told, but wasn't happy about it. In fact he did say at the end that he didn't agree with John O'Neill, but ... As though he was going to say, so there, I did it, are you happy?
Well, actully we are Chris!  And we're thankful for whoever or whatever brought this decent moment out of you, in spite of yourself! LOL!

There were four reasons he said that:
1. To warn any viewers who might have presumed objectivity.
2. To make it obvious that he's incompetent, since he didn't
ask any questions that probed the areas of disagreement,
much less exposed any flaws in O'Niell;s arguments.
3. To make it clear that Mathews isn't a journalist. Real
journalists don't blatently inject their own opinions in
their work.
4. To reassure his "progessive" fans that he hasn't
really changed. |

Chris has not changed his stripes he is just hoping it will all blow over. It is called self preservation and he will appear do be more fair until the heat is off.
Journalists all know that there is a whirlwind right now and the smart ones will just pretend to be fair.
Didn't you see the smirk on his face when he introduced John?
He was a like a chesser cat!! |
