Lamar Smith: “Despite the saturation of negative media coverage of President Trump…”

On the recordFebruary 15, 2017

Despite the saturation of negative media coverage of President Trump, the people have spoken. A recent poll found that President Trump is thought more trustworthy than the news media. The administration is considered truthful by 49 percent of registered voters, but the media is less trusted than the administration, with only 39 percent finding it honest. So President Trump is more credible than the liberal national media. That is no surprise. If the media wants to increase their credibility, they should report the news fairly, objectively, and without malice. ____________________
