In a catastrophic blow to an already crumbling industry, a new poll released this week finds that more Americans trust the Trump Administration to state the facts fairly and accurately than trust the media to do so.
The poll, released by YouGov, finds that just 29 percent of Americans say they have a fair amount or a great deal of trust in the media to state the facts “fully, accurately, and fairly”, while 44 percent say they have at least a fair amount of trust in President Donald Trump’s Administration to state the facts fully, accurately and fairly.
Think about that – less than a third of Americans think the press is capable of doing the only job it has, and Americans say by fifteen points the Trump Administration is doing a better job of informing the public accurately.
