一项新的民意调查显示，美国人对媒体自由的看法跌至历史最低水平，这是自调查机构近20年前开始询问这一问题以来的最低纪录。
A new poll found that Americans’ perceptions of media freedom hit a record low, its lowest point since pollsters started asking the question almost 20 years ago.
盖洛普（Gallup）周二发布的数据显示，69%的美国人认为美国的媒体自由状况良好。这一比例比2025年的数据低了6个百分点；而在2025年，这一比例曾从2023年的78%上升到了82%。
Gallup released a poll on Tuesday showing that 69 percent of Americans believe there is a lot of media freedom in the U.S. The new figure is 6 points below where it was in 2025, which saw a 5-point increase between 78 percent in 2023 to 82 percent the following year. The highest number of respondents to say the U.S. has a lot of press freedom was 89 percent, back when Gallup first asked the question to Americans in 2010.
在盖洛普首次于2010年向美国人询问这一问题时，认为美国媒体自由状况良好的受访者比例最高，达到了89%。
Gallup revealed a widening partisan divide over the question of media freedom, with 91 percent of Republican respondents saying U.S. media has many freedoms.
调查显示，在媒体自由问题上，党派分歧正在加剧：91%的共和党受访者认为美国的媒体享有充分的自由，这一比例比2024年（前总统拜登执政时期）上升了8个百分点。然而，在民主党和无党派人士中，这一比例有所下降——其中68%的无党派人士和57%的民主党人认为美国的媒体自由状况良好，均低于2025年的75%和68%。
This is an 8-point rise since GOP respondents were asked in 2024, under former President Biden. Among Democrats and independents, however, those numbers have lowered with 68 percent of independents and 57 percent of Democrats saying the media has many freedoms, both down from 75 percent and 68 percent in 2025.
美国人对媒体自由的看法也低于其他经合组织（OECD）国家的中位数水平（通常约为80%）。2025年，这一中位数降至75%；2026年成为有记录以来美国首次低于该中位数的年份（69%）。
Perceptions have also fallen below the median average among other Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, which generally sits at around 80 percent. That median hit 75 percent in 2025, with 2026 marking the first year on record where the U.S. sat below the median, at 69 percent.
“公众对美国媒体自由的信心持续下降，而对新闻媒体的信任度也一直处于盖洛普（Gallup）历史调查数据中的较低水平，”这位民意调查专家写道。“由于不同政党在媒体自由与媒体信任问题上的观点存在分歧，许多美国人对于当前的新闻环境缺乏共识。”最近几周，媒体自由面临的挑战成为了新闻焦点：特朗普总统禁止了那些报道白宫活动的CNN、《Politico》和MS NOW的记者，指责他们传播‘假新闻’。
“Public belief in U.S. media freedom continues to erode, while trust in the news media remains on the low end of what Gallup has measured historically,” the pollster wrote. “Many Americans lack a shared perspective toward their news environment, given partisan divides in perceptions of media freedom and trust.”Challenges to media freedom have made headlines in recent weeks after President Trump banned CNN, Politico and MS NOW reporters who cover the White House, accusing them of peddling “fake news.”
这些媒体机构随后提起了诉讼，美国地方法官蒂莫西·凯利（Timothy Kelly）上周裁定白宫侵犯了这些媒体的正当程序权利。
The outlets clapped back with a lawsuit, and U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ruled last week that the White House violated the media companies’ due process rights.
虽然凯利恢复了这些媒体的采访权限，但在特朗普前往田纳西州参加一场大学橄榄球比赛时，白宫官员仍禁止CNN的记者登上“空军一号”（Air Force One）。
Kelly restored their access, but White House officials barred CNN from boarding Air Force One as Trump traveled to Tennessee to attend a college football game.
美国司法部长托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）在周日接受ABC News《This Week》节目采访时表示，总统“完全有权利”禁止CNN的记者随行进入“空军一号”的记者团。他还指出，政府认为属于“虚假信息”的报道可能会对美国与其他国家的关系构成“国家安全威胁”。
Attorney General Todd Blanche told ABC News’s “This Week” on Sunday that the president had “every right,” to block CNN’s reporters from joining the White House press pool on Air Force One. He added that reporting perceived by the administration as “complete misinformation” rises to the level of a “national security problem” for U.S. relations with other countries.
盖洛普的这项调查于5月1日至6月10日期间进行，共有1000名受访者参与。调查的误差范围为4.1个百分点。
The Gallup survey was conducted from May 1 to June 10 and included 1,000 respondents. The margin of error is 4.1 percentage points.
