Trump is full of it.

The media varies.

Says who? The democrats? The democrat owned mainstream media? Faux news?

It is chilling for people in certain positions of power to hold a partisan view point like that.

50% of the population dislikes/hates whoever is in the WH. And each president has an agenda.

100% of the population should have no problem with "media" in general because they just report news. They should have no agenda.

Understanding this premise validates the opposite of your point. For Trump to only lose 52-37 shows just how amazingly untrustworthy the media is.

The irony here is that you are doing exactly what Trump did. He used the polling data that favored him best and you are using the polling data that favors your view best.

The truth:
HAHAHAHAHAHA: Poll - Public Sees Trump As MUCH More Truthful Than Media | Daily Wire

Emerson College did a poll which had the exact opposite results of the Quinnipiac poll.

After all the polls were so wrong about the election I find it hilarious that we have a rash of threads started on polls hammering Trump by the left. Did they not learn a thing from the election?

You know what they say about doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.

They seem immune to common sense.

The premise of a free press is that they be apolitical, with the truth being their only agenda. The press has betrayed their own value as protectors of the truth.

This^ You guys have made "fake news" such a meaningless term by constantly using it contrary to its actual definition.

Trump has told 133 lies/falsehoods in his first month. He is a pathological liar. That's an absolute fact, going way back to the campaign.

Where is the 50% located?

The mainstream media doesn't report news, mainstream media looks to take out of context what their opponents say.

The best thing one can do is listen to the whole portion of what some one is saying instead of filtered snippets spun by the media.

Yes each president does have an agenda. Who's agenda though?

How many lies has hillary told? Have you checked wikileaks? Lots of hillary dirt there. Edit: Oh wait CNN says it is illegal for anyone but them to look at the wikileaks.

Seriously, if Trump gets a cent from Americans for every lie he has told, he would be able to pay down the national debt.
