The current White House administration under Donald Trump is more trusted to “tell the public the truth” than the media, according to a poll conducted by FOX News. Responding to the question “Who do you trust more to tell the public the truth — the Trump administration or the reporters who cover the administration?”, 45 percent of respondents said that they have greater trust in the Trump administration, while 42 percent stated that they have more confidence in reporters.

The poll, which interviewed 1013 registered voters at random, was conducted via live telephone interviews, with a margin of error of three percent.

The current administration’s relationship with the media has descended into open hostility, with Trump regularly criticizing the coverage of major outlets, labeling it “fake news.”

And considering the hidden support for Trump, the numbers are higher.

I suspect that some, when asked by a pollster, who do you trust more, the media or Trump, would feel that the “politically correct” answer is that they trust the media more.

So I think these numbers for the level of media support vs. Trump could be inflated...........

As time goes by I thin more people will realize the media has sunk to tabloid journalism.

Absolutely!

CNN, MSN, ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC, AP, Rueters, NYTimes, WAPO are enemies of We The People! They are the opposition party in the US. Spin fake news and give more air time to fake news and support global communism.
