Media - lack of credibility

Dear Friends:

As most of you know, I, and quite a few others, correct the media on death penalty issues, when we can. It is impossible to keep up with all of the errors and/or one sided presentations - they are too many and too frequent.

However, I didn't realize that the media's credibility was, generally, this horrendous. FYI.

In 2005, Pew Media Research found that 45% of respondents said they could believe little to nothing that was written in their daily newspaper. (1)
