Legacy Media Trust Hits New Low Amid Allegations of Protecting Democrats at Any Cost

Legacy media's trust has hit a new low, with a recent survey finding only 28% of Americans believe in their credibility, as exemplified by the handling of Rep. Eric Swalwell's alleged affair story which many see as an example of protecting Democrats rather than reporting facts. The collapse of trust in legacy media institutions has been a defining trend over the past decade. This erosion is further reflected in Gallup's latest survey data, which highlights a growing distrust among Americans towards these traditional news sources.
