A new poll shows Trump's magical lying powers are failing him
It isnt easy to find any bright spots amid our ongoing slide into failed-state status, but heres one: Far more Americans trust the news media than trust President Trump to tell them the truth about our coronavirus crisis.
A new poll from NPR, PBS News Hour and Marist finds that only 37 percent of Americans have a good deal of trust in the information Trump tells them about coronavirus. By contrast, 60 percent have little to no trust.
Meanwhile, the poll also finds that 50 percent have a good deal of trust in the news medias information about the disease, versus 47 percent who lack trust. Thats not ideal, to be sure, but its good that far more trust the media than trust Trump.
Id like to suggest that a great deal is at stake here. Our national response to a crisis with extraordinarily far-reaching destructive potential is more or less under the control of a megalomaniac who, with the eager backing of his media allies, vastly prioritizes protecting his reelection chances over protecting the country.
