The number of Americans expressing such trust has decreased steadily in recent years, going below a majority level and staying there since 2007.

“Over the history of the entire trend, Americans’ trust and confidence hit its highest point in 1976, at 72 percent, in the wake of widely lauded examples of investigative journalism regarding Vietnam and the Watergate scandal,” Swift said.

Currently, those who identify as Republican have a decidedly more negative view of the media than those who identify as Democrat.

“Republicans who say they have trust in the media has plummeted to 14 percent from 32 percent a year ago. This is easily the lowest confidence among Republicans in 20 years,” Swift noted.

Among Democrats, the number jumps to 51 percent. Among independents, it is 30 percent.

If that is true then the GOP has Breitbart and the National Enquirer.

Reality not conforming to your worldview can be discomforting. Sources facts and referenced research be damned.

Oh and media in the country largely sucks. There is going to be a biased narrative so long as there is a profit motive and selling information. Just compare CNN and FOX to BBC and DW.

Democrats mad that they no longer have their worldview being the only one getting attention?

No, we rather enjoy the comedy that those sites provide.

How come republicans do not know Fox, Breibart, Drudge, Infowars are all part of the "media"

If Republicans were really interested in facts they wouldn't depend on blogs like Breitbart or Infowars.

They don't want facts. They want affirmation.

Media and democrats are the same team. Media is the "offense', Democrats are the "defense".

Just like the TASS "news agency" in Russia. Its (Deep) State run media, an America hating, political propaganda machine. .
