Americans' trust in media plummets to historic low: poll

American's trust in media has fallen to a historic low, according to new polling from Gallup.

Why it matters: Trust in media had previously dropped to 32% in 2016 before rebounding slightly. Those gains have essentially been wiped out, according to the poll.

Details: Only 32% of the population reports having "a great deal" or "a fair amount" of confidence that the media reports the news in a full, fair and accurate way.

The only other time in recent history that trust has fallen to 32% was in 2016.
