>This study, like many others, found extremely high levels of distrust — 75% of those who identify as being on the right thought coverage of their views is unfair. When one party consistently attacks "the mainstream media" for decades for telling the truth about reality, you get this. It's not a "both sides" problem, the problem is only on one side. >Interestingly, partisans, including conservatives, at least say that they prefer a range of views (74%) and neutral treatment of issues (66%) rather than reports that just reinforce their views. People say they want that, but people also say they hate negative political attack ads, and we get something other than what we say we want because the product we actually get instead is appealing to many people.
