Nearly all Republicans and
Republican-leaning independents (92%) say that traditional news outlets
knowingly report false or misleading stories at least sometimes,
according to a new Axios/SurveyMonkey poll. Democrats and non-leaning independents also feel this way, but not nearly to the same extent.
Why it matters: The
data shows that trust in the media is heavily influenced by partisan
politics, with Republicans more skeptical of mainstream media than their
Democratic and Independent counterparts. Other studies from Gallup and Pew Research Center have drawn similar conclusions.
