Morphine Prince 109,926 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Nearly half of voters, 46 percent, believe the news media fabricate news stories about President Donald Trump and his administration, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll. Just 37 percent of voters think the media do not fabricate stories, the poll shows, while the remaining 17 percent are undecided. More than three-quarters of Republican voters, 76 percent, think the news media invent stories about Trump and his administration, compared with only 11 percent who don’t think so. Among Democrats, one-in-five think the media make up stories, but a 65 percent majority think they do not. Forty-four percent of independent voters think the media make up stories about Trump, and 31 percent think they do not. Among the voters who strongly approve of Trump’s job performance in the poll, 85 percent believe the media fabricate stories about the president and his administration.

I don't take media in and agree with everything. Do i think the media can be harder on trump and i can recognize that? yes. It's warranted. Do I think CREDIBLE news sources make up stories? um no.

Not one said these 46% strongly believe that. The survey says “think” If i was surveyed.... id have voted yes because after all this time and all the stories the way the media is... id bet its more likely than not at least on occasion there were exaggerations or misrepresentations on a few things or another I dont have to be a supporter to regcognize that someone being bad does not mean they cant still be a victim of bad deeds Trump is constantly on the news and the media has never been known for being fully trust worthy in everything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a break. The mainstream media(aka the credible sources) report what Trump says. It's their job. And yet here we are talking about the media and not the man in the WH. These voters are the same ones who hate "libtard" media and go straight to Breitbart. Also, how can this poll even be taken seriously by you or anyone else when the article literally says most Americans don't trust media sponsored polls. So you're going to tell me that you don't trust the media by believing a media sourced article? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
