NEW YORK — It's been true for some time that Republicans are generally more hostile to the news media than Democrats, but a study released Thursday found that's much more the case for supporters of President Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, 4% of Democrats who cast themselves as strong opponents to the president said journalists have “very low” standards. “The president's attacks have done some damage,” Fox News anchor Chris Wallace said Wednesday at an event at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. He cited a Freedom Forum Institute poll this year where more than three-quarters of Americans said “fake news” is a serious threat to democracy.
The study didn't address the chicken-or-egg question of whether Trump supporters express these anti-press opinions because the president makes it a constant refrain or because they're already predisposed to believe them.
