Who Do Americans Trust?
Harris did a poll of Americans and Europians on whom they can trust, and guess what, the MSM was NOT one of them.
Interesting results, and the conclusion that I made out of this poll is that Americans are smarter than Europians. Americans DON'T trust the MSM as where the Europians are brainwashed into trusting theirs, and theirs is WORSE than ours. We don't trust the UN, with ample reason, as where the Europians do. Americans are not cattle like the Europians to be blindly led to the slaughterhouse, we challenge institutions and governments, that is what makes us better and more intellegent. Thank God I am an American with a mind to be used and not trust the corrupt and misleading MSM and UN.

A new Harris Poll measures the levels of trust which Americans have in important institutions, and compares the results with those in a virtually identical European survey. For many institutions the levels of trust, or distrust, on both sides of the Atlantic were similar. There were also some striking differences.
Americans showed much less trust than Europeans in the media and in the United Nations. On the other hand, Americans, more than Europeans, trust religious institutions. Both Americans and Europeans had relatively high levels of trust in their police and military. Both Americans and Europeans had very little trust in political parties, their governments, trade unions and big business.
- A 62 to 22 percent (almost 3-to-1) majority of Americans did not trust "the press"; Europeans were split 47 to 46 percent.
- A modest 43 to 33 percent plurality of Americans were inclined to trust the radio; a larger than 2-to-1 majority (62% to 29%) of Europeans did so.
- A substantial 58 to 22 percent majority of Americans did not trust television; a 54 to 39 percent majority of Europeans did trust TV.
Majorities in both the United States and Europe did not trust their politicians or their governments. A plurality of Europeans trusted the United Nations, while a plurality of Americans distrusted the U.N. Specifically:
- Very large majorities of both Americans (77% to 8%) and Europeans (77% to 14%) distrusted political parties.
- Substantial majorities of both Americans (55% to 27%) and Europeans (63% to 28%) distrusted their governments.
- A substantial majority of Americans (56% to 22%) distrusted the Congress. A substantial majority of Europeans (57% to 32%) distrusted their parliaments or elected chambers.
- A 44 to 30 percent plurality of Americans tended not to trust the United Nations. In contrast, in Europe, a 49 to 34 percent plurality were inclined to trust the U.N.
Trust in other institutions:
Large majorities of between 3-to-1 and 2-to-1 trusted the police and the military in both the United States and in Europe. Large majorities also trusted charitable and voluntary organizations. On the other hand, very large majorities in both the U.S. (70% to 12%) and in Europe (60% to 26%) distrusted big companies. Adults also tended not to trust trade unions in both the U.S. (51% to 19%) and Europe (50% to 34%). When it comes to justice and legal systems, Europeans were split with 45 percent trusting their systems and 47 percent distrusting them. In the U.S. a 47 to 36 percent plurality did not trust the legal system.
