Poll: Media's All-Out Assault on Trump Only Hurts Trust in Journalists - Breitbart

Polling proves that public trust in the establishment media has collapsed in every imaginable way during Trump's presidency. An IBD/TIPP poll asked about "the public's perception of the mainstream news media" and found that "fully half the country says its trust in the media decreased over the past two years."

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." What's more, nearly half (43 percent) of Democrats agree with that statement, along with an incredible 72 percent of Independents and 95 percent of Republicans.

When asked if media coverage is designed to "delegitimize the views held by President Trump and his supporters," nearly six in ten (59 percent) agreed, including 60 percent of Independents and 93 percent of Republicans. If there is one takeaway from this poll, it is that the public now sees through the media and that establishment pundits and reporters have lost all of their moral authority.
