Press

Trust in the media has been on a downward slide since the high of 55% in 1999. By 2014 it was down to 40%. Today is at 36% but it is very political. The poll shows that 68% of democrats, 11% of republicans and 31% of independents trust the media. Since 92% of the coverage of Trump was negative and 32% of Biden has been negative you would expect the big difference between parties to be understandable. Some say this is because Trump called the media fake news but that should not affect objective reporting. Some question whether the press still strives for objectivity.
