Completely agree, and the decrease in trust of the media is from all points on the political ideology spectrum and crosses all age groups.
Some interesting information from the study*. Two things stand out to me:
• Overwhelming view that news coverage is politically biased (83% Democrats, 91% Independents, 94% Republicans - Overall 93% see a fair amount/great deal of bias)
• All age groups have an majority unfavorable view of the media (goes from a 'low' of 48% for the Silent Generation to a 'high' of 58% for the Gen Z crowd) with the overall view (53%) being very/somewhat unfavorable.
