Well, I’m not sure about Democrats, but among conservatives, those who distrust the media are the people who put DJT in office. We don’t distrust the media because of Donald Trump at all. He is part of our solution to their dishonesty. They have been slandering and demonizing us for the better part of 2 decades. They won’t fix themselves.
Democrats (many or most [of those who are not actually part of the machine]) are those who trust the media and believe the world is as the media claims/portrays.
