"In the Know"? Many aren't buying it

A just-released Pew Research study indicates a high level of distrust of the mainstream media, and the distrust increases for the more educated demographic (Internet users) identified as a group in the study.

In practical terms, that means that many people simply don't believe the St. Petersburg Times' little jingle that tries to assure them that reading the Times puts them "in the know."

At least readers of the Times are more likely to know what the Times wants them to know.
