Virtually all of the decline is among Republicans, which makes sense given that their leadership has focused for many years now on attacking the media as a political strategy. Add to this the fact that many Republicans believe the Trump administration's fabrications about election fraud, and that those claims are routinely (and correctly) identified as fabrications in the media, and it's not surprising at all.
- vannevar 4y agoWould any anonymous downvoter care to identify where this comment is inaccurate and provide some explanation as to why you think so? The poll results show very clearly that the increasing mistrust is mostly among conservatives. And unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Republicans have been criticizing the media for many years now. So that just leaves Trump's fabricated election fraud claims. If you have any evidence for that, you should probably provide it to his legal team, because in 60+ court cases, they've never presented any.
