According to a new Monmouth University poll, 77 percent of Americans believe that traditional TV and print news outlets report "fake news."

The poll also found that Americans are more likely to trust Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN than they are President Donald Trump.

What makes the msm news fake is their unrelenting leftwing spin.

I don’t see the poll details, but seems likely “more” people trust CNN, FOX and MSNBC than trust Trump because they aggregated the results for trusting each station, which would then lump liberals and conservatives together.

“Americans are more likely to trust Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN than they are President Donald Trump.”

When they say “Americans”, instead of “voters”, that means they polled a lot of non-citizens, non-voters.

I am sure his approval rating is much higher among actual voters.

Only 10% trust polls. Weird coincidence. Thanks Zakeet.

You can’t have fake reactions to fake news without fake polls.
