Well I certainly hope the numbers who trust big business is in the similar range.

Seems like a case of nabbing the get away driver and let the gunman off scott free...

We might never learn

I see more to this then just the 23%(which is higher than I expected actually).

Theres several partsof this video that gave me the shudders..
I HAD to stop the video as soon as the words "Swine Flu" was mentioned.
I also had to stop the video as soon as they started asking "is dis-trust in govt a good thing"
THEN they compared this poll with one takin from the Bush era where 60% trusted the govt(which I think is not true) I recall a lot of Bush haters during this time.
The fact that they tried to Spin this from "do you really hate your govt?" to "can it be a good thing?" also made me wanna puke.
Quite frankly Im suprised that CNN ran with this story, but then was quickly relieved to see the typical CNN spin afterwards, so I wasnt dreaming.

I think you have enough for at least 5 conspiricies just on this one YouTube vid.

Quite frankly though, I thought the number was going to be much lower.

(To answer the Anchors question about it being a "good thing"...
HTF can it be a good thing when we cant trust the people who are supposed to be making OUR big decisions? These people should have our UPMOST trust, but they screwed that pooch themselves. Its not our fault the Govt is as Shady as Slim.

That's still 23% too much

Namaste,

23% sounds about right. If you run a poll of political ideology, you'll find that about 20-25% of Americans self-identify as liberals.

Their guy is in office, so the ideologues are happy. They'd follow Obama and the rest of this government off a cliff. The rest of us? Not so much.

Soooo why aren't all these people doing anything about it!!!

Obviously the majority of America is fed up, but all we do is take polls

Mcdonalds and TV seem to be doing their job pretty well.

Ain't that the truth. I'm going on 11 months with out a T.V. know what I do instead? I *gasp* read and educate myself. What a novel idea, but then again I guess you have to get to the point where you are appalled by what they try to shove down your throats on T.V. first. For me, even if I did find a show worth watching, the commercials ruined it.

Gotta enjoy how the MSM tried to justify how its good to have poor trust in the government. I mean, otherwise there's no merit for the distrust. ;P

I don't have a biased opinion to any given puppet in power because it doesn't matter what face is shown, we know they are working for the same team. We the people need a new political party where the government is at the bottom of the pyramid and the people are back where that separated all-seeing-eye is on the dollar bill, above all the rest and in the 'know'. Obama is just the perfect puppet for this turn of events. If your against Obama, you not only get the extreme right wing fanatic sticker slapped onto you, you get called racist. The MSM insults everything that opposes their agenda to try and make their cause look good. Well, I see it finally back firing.. so much so that less people get their news form the MSM and you get CNN broadcasting this garbage.
