The research and analytics company YouGov published a new poll Monday designed to goose the commentariat into re-debating the whole “trust in media” question. YouGov asked respondents to rate the trustworthiness of 56 different print, broadcast, digital and social media outlets from “very trustworthy” down the scale to “very untrustworthy.”The poll produced a mountain of data, but whatever you do, don’t trust it to tell you anything meaningful about trust in media.That doesn’t mean you should ignore everything YouGov collected. For instance, when the poll states that respondents placed their greatest trustworthiness figure on the Weather Channel and the lowest trustworthiness on Infowars, you can be confident that the survey has honestly reported its raw findings.
