Czech people trust media more than government

The Czech people trust the media more than they do their government, according to a new public opinion poll. But the president, Václav Klaus , is liked even more. The survey, by the Centre for Public Opinion Research (CPOR), says that 60-70% of Czechs trust the media compared to a 30% rating for the government. President Klaus attracts the support of 70%. "In general, the authority of all media has been on a very high level since February 1995," says CPOR spokeswoman, Marketa Skodova. "The media win in an overwhelming majority of comparisons with political institutions." (Via Ceskenoviny.cz)
