Trump took that piece of info ("Trump administration seen as more truthful than news media") from "The Hill," which is a part of the (conservative) news media.

So, I don't believe it!

I'm sure the numbers are skewed against Trump. That's the funny part. He must really be seen as the honest one when compared to the media.

Why does the topic say "poll" but not poll is even provided? Isn't that lying? Or is lying something only liberals can do? I expect no response. You're not looking for a discussion. But I want other people to see this and how absurd this thread actually is.

"The Hill" is a conservative rag, so it's probably skewed in favor of Trump. He probably owns it or has buddies who do.

It would be interesting to see what a real, trustworthy poll might say about the issue of trust for Trump versus the media, but "The Hill" does not fill the bill.

Every time Trump's lip move he's lying, and when he follows the lie with "believe me", I know it's a really huge lie....

They both need to be double checked, often.

I'll just leave these links here:

The media might get stuff wrong once in a while (and they should rightly be called out for it when it happens), Trump's track record is incredibly far from stellar (more in line with embarrassing).
