Public View of Journalists Declines

The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life has just released poll results which show that of the groups surveyed, the public's estimation of journalists dropped more than any other occupation. In the last four years, the public's estimation of journalists' contribution to society's well-being dropped 10%, from 38% to 28%.

Do you suppose this drop in approval is related to mainstream media "coming out" as the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party? I think so. A Breitbart Big Journalism article based on this study indicates that even Democrats have dropped their evaluation of journalists:

The plummeting approval for journalists is bi-partisan; Republicans/leaning Republicans are down eight percent and Democrats/leaning Democrats are down 10 percent.
