Unfavorable Ratings
The bad news for the federal government in a new survey by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press is that its favorability rating has dropped from 59 percent last year to 45 percent this year. The good news is that ratings for corporations are dropping like a rock, too. So what's happening here is that discontent about corporate scandals, a war in Iraq with no end in sight, one hurricane after another, etc., are affecting all of the country's big institutions, right? Not so fast. Those of us in the news media are holding steady in the public eye, thank you very much.
Sure, you love us when times are bad, but we know you'll turn on us when things start looking up.
