Dunno if you saw John Cleese on Newsnight, but he produced figures on how
well people in EU countries regard their press, and the UK came at the
bottom of the table. But then many would probably have guessed that.

Oh come on !

The question was along the lines of how many people trust what they
read in the press.

Is regard really so different to trust?

The intereview is available on the BBC News website.

Thanks for ignoring the question.

If you insist then quite obviously the question as to how people
regard their press is totally different to the question as to
whether they trust it or not.

I'd say you rather unusual if you trust something you have no regard for.

As the question as to how they regard their press, will cover such
topics as to whether they find it interesting or boring, whether
they find it amusing or over-serious, whether they regard it as being
well produced or cheaply produced. None of which have very much
bearing as to the further question as to whether they trust it
or not.


None of which makes any difference to trust.
