Study Finds Google Is More Trusted Than Traditional Media

Posted by samzenpus on from the it-must-be-true dept.

According to a study by market research company Zogby International, people trust Google, Apple, and Microsoft more than the traditional media. Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter scored lowest on the trust scale, but still soundly beat the media. From the article: "The traditional media received little sympathy from the public, with only eight percent of all adults and six percent of young adults saying they trusted them."

    I trust slashdot posters even less than I trust market research companies.

    I can let them have the Brooklyn bridge for a wonderful bargain price. No checks, please. Cash and in small bills.

    That's right! Our public doesn't believe in a controlled, manipulated mainstream press, so the answer must be MORE control and manipulation!
