Who to Trust: Trump or the Media?

Media & Politics

Never since Richard Nixon was in office more than 40 years ago, has a President had such an antagonistic relationship with the media like Donald Trump has today. He considers himself at war with the media and calls outlets whose reporting he disapproves of "fake news". There seems to be a corrosion of trust in either the President or the so-called Fourth Estate, depending on your political preferences.
