53% of people polled in the UK trust the BBC as a trustworthy source of news, but don't trust the government to look after it in the future. That chimes with me, and I would actually have expected it to be a bit higher. Sky News comes in second place, well down at 15% then the also rans like ITV news etc.
I have a sneaking suspicion that 'professionalism' come into play when we have an opinion on news programs. ITV always comes across to me as a cheap version of BBC, although I do think that Sky News (on the very few occasions that I can be bothered to watch it) does seem to have mastered the glossy look and feel of a respected news outlet despite it's pedigree of the Murdoch empire. Acquiring that professional look is not easy, and probably takes a long time, but it's then self perpetuating and easier to drop a few clangers whilst maintaining that 'trust' tag.
Only 1% of news home built in the UK in 2014 were bungalows. Not surprising really given the pressure to get more square feet of living space within an area. 3 storey houses seem to be much more prevalent, and a landlord's dream if they can rent out each floor. I'm just surprised that cellars do not seem to have made a comeback.
