YouGov have conducted a survey of who the British public trust when it comes to reporting the news, and results were published today.At the very bottom of the pile, the least trusted source of news is The Sun newspaper, with only 4% of respondents saying that they trust the tabloid. Other news sources towards the bottom of the pile are The Star, The Mirror, Daily Express and Daily Mail, and the least trusted TV source of news is GB News. And the winner is - at the top of the list - The BBC
The BBC is the only news source where respondents who stated "Very Trustworthy" went into double digits .. 14% Other highly trusted news sources include ITN, The Financial Times and Reuters pressgazette.co.uk/media-audience-and-business-data/uk-newsbrand-trust-rankings-sun-least-trusted-bbc-ft-most/

So funded by taxation (rather than some dodgy billionaire) and supposedly unbiased, only 14% thought it very trustworthy - suggests it needs work..

The tragedy is that I suppose as I was growing up it was a trusted source of information for most people, With it now sitting at 14% of people believe it is trustworthy it is hardly a ringing endorsement of their brief to be balanced and impartial. |

(although who the fuck trusts Ch4 I dont know.. ) |

Fair cop but what is the difference? Good job they didn't ask you to complete the survey then! 😂 It is a pertinent question though what is the difference between trustworthy and very trustworthy. You either trust someone or you do not. If there is a difference then at some point the person saying 'trustworthy' must have noticed some inaccuracy in the news reported and changed their view from very trustworthy to trustworthy. To be frank, again, I would not trust the BBC news to report accurately anything having observed directly many inaccuracies in reports. |
