More Americans trust the Trump administration than trust the media for fair, full, and accurate facts
YouGov.com ^ | February 21, 2025 | Jamie Ballard

A new YouGov survey finds that Americans’ trust in the media to state the facts fully, accurately, and fairly is low: Only 29% say they have a fair amount or a great deal of trust. More (44%) have at least a fair amount of trust in Donald Trump’s administration to state facts fully, accurately and fairly. The survey also found that Americans are more likely to see the media’s coverage of Trump as too negative than to see it as too positive. Around four in 10 believe the media wants Trump to fail.

And I think even those trust in Trump numbers are skewed down based on omissions in the media coverage.

I trust members of crime families more than I trust the media :)

I can’t think of anything I trust less.

The media should be seized as a factor enabling the global theft by our deepstate grifting class. They literally were engaged in the conspiracy to traffic pharmaceuticals, both the illegal ones and the ones of fraudulent efficacy with covered up side[?]-effects.

Now that Trump basically has his team assembled, I think we’ll see the Epstein list, the Diddy list, the JFK files, the data on Fauci, and possibly data on certain members of Congress. All while Elon and his team uncover more examples of fraud waste and abuse while the media tries to make him stop.

Trust levels of the media and Democrats (but I repeat myself) can only go lower. And more and more people will look at Trump as The Great Truth Teller.

I trust The Babylon Bee for fair and honest reporting than the MSM.

For me, the mainstream lost it with me decades ago. They will never get me to trust them again, ever.

Should read:

“More Americans trust the Trump administration than trust USAID for fair, full, and accurate facts”

Since that’s how the media is now funded, given the virtual elimination of newspapers and the huge falloff in Network TV.

I just can’t imagine why! The media are always telling the truth, right? Come on, guys! You gotta give the media another chance! They’re really nice people once you get to know them!

...and this is why ‘joy’ is out of a job, being replaced by a panel of hacks who will pretend to do it better than a single biased talking head. /s

A reckoning for fox couldn’t come soon enough.
