SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The news media's credibility is sagging along with its revenue.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans think the news stories they read, hear and watch are frequently inaccurate, according to a poll released Sunday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. That marks the highest level of skepticism recorded since 1985, when this study of public perceptions of the media was first done.

The public's trust in the news media began to deteriorate long before the industry's finances began to droop and the Internet hatched more competition - as well as more gossip and speculation.

With few exceptions, the news media's credibility has been eroding since 1985. Back then, 55 percent of the respondents believed newspapers and broadcasters generally got things right.

FNC didn't start until 1996, while NPR was created in 1970 and the New York Times 1851.
