On the other hand, 44% of Americans say they trust the Trump administration's reports more than the media's reports.

Steve Lance, host of the show Capitol Report, discusses the reasons with Democrat A. Scott Bolden, who served as a deputy district attorney in New York State, and conservative Bobby Everly, political strategist and host of the show Thirteen Minute News Hour.

Bolden says Trump is an excellent communicator and marketer and his supporters trust every word he says. His supporters, along with "Fox News," repeat his words over and over until they become the truth.

Everly, on the other hand, says that we need to examine why so little is trusted in the media. The reason, he says, is That in the last 4 years the media has distorted and suppressed facts, whether about the coronavirus or about the story of Hunter Biden's laptop.

In addition, only the mainstream media had access to the White House and any other position was censored.

Following Jeff Bezos' statement that the Washington Post would no longer publish opinion pieces that contradict "individual freedoms" and "free markets," Everly says that this indicates a change in position in the mainstream media. This change, he says, stems from the understanding that the American people do not support Marxist culture and that they must be taken into account.

According to Bolden, opinion pieces in the Internet age do not play an important role since the majority anyway derives most of their information from social networks.

Regarding the fact that Trump changed the policy on access for journalists to the White House newsroom, Everly thinks that this will have a positive effect on journalistic coverage.
