According to a recent online Harris Interactive survey, Republicans remain decidedly skeptical of the media. In the January survey, only 19 percent of Republicans said they trusted the press, compared to 43 percent of Democrats. Thirty-one percent of Republicans said they trusted television, compared to 50 percent of Democrats. Democrats were also slightly more likely than Republicans to trust radio.
