The media’s relentless assault on President Trump has caused Americans’ distrust of journalists to reach new heights, and new polling reinforces their fall.
A recent IBD/TIPP poll surveyed participants about “the public’s perception of the mainstream news media.†The poll found that “fully half the country says its trust in the media decreased over the past two years.†Only eight percent said their trust in the media has increased.
“Inside that overall number, the poll finds a plurality of Independents (49 percent) have lost trust in the media over the last two years, along with 81 percent of Republicans, who already had a pretty low opinion of this wretched institution,†Breitbart reports. “In worse news (for the media), more than two-thirds of the public, a whopping 69 percent, believe the establishment media are ‘more concerned with advancing its points of view rather than reporting all the facts.â€
