just half?
really?
or should it be that at least half of all Americans realize, or are willing to admit, that the media straight up makes shit up to cast Trump in a bad light
‘Fake News’: Half of all Americans believe the media make up anti-Trump stories
Nearly half of all Americans believe the media fabricate negative stories about President Trump, according to a new survey.
Forty-four percent of respondents in the 2017 Poynter Media Trust Survey say the media invent “fake news” to make the president look bad.
Of that cohort, 24 percent say negative stories about Mr. Trump are made up “about half of the time”; 14 percent “most of the time”; and 6 percent “all of the time.” Seventy-seven percent are Trump supporters, and 74 percent are Republicans.
Overall, 49 percent of all Americans express “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of confidence in the press, compared to 50 percent who say they have “only some” or “hardly any” trust in the media.
Despite the fact that confidence in the media is slightly up this year, 69 percent of Americans still say the media “tend to favor one side” in political coverage.
