Gallup: 32% Confidence in Media an All-Time Low

American's trust in the media has been dropping rapidly throughout this election campaign season.  As a "democratic" society in which we have the ability to vote and have some influence on the efficiency and equity of our society, it is interesting to follow how we choose to accept or reject the news and world around us.  As a generation labeled "millennials" who can't put down our i-devices, I find it interesting that other demographics are also finding issues trusting the media.   Gallup notes that the trust in media has dropped significantly since 1997.  This is something I think about when millions of people either choose or choose not to exercise their right to vote in an election.
