  1. Any yet, Trump still freely talks to the Media and answers hard questions.

    as opposed to:

    “Mr President, what is your favorite ice cream?”

  2. Freedom of the press, or more precisely the external freedom of the press, is the right of broadcasting organizations, the press and other media to carry out their activities unhindered, above all to publish news and opinions uncensored by the state.

    Freedom of the press or media is intended to guarantee freedom of information, the free formation and expression of opinion, pluralistic diversity of opinion and thus democratic decision-making as well as transparency and control of politics through public opinion.

  3. Trump drives clicks. There is nothing that matters more to the media than that.

  5. Oh come on, you can’t post a title like that while burying the lede:

    >However, there are stark differences when it comes to how the two parties assess Trump and the media’s role in the relationship.

    Aka: Democrats think Trump attacks the media too much, while Republicans think the media attacks Trump too much.

    It’s still absolutely partisan, this 64% doesn’t mean there’s some sort of consensus of both sides coming together in agreement. It’s just rewording two polar opposites to somehow get them into a single conceptual bucket.

  6. *Broke*: “The media attacks Trump too much!”

    *Woke*: “Trump attacks the media too much!”

    *Bespoke*: “The media is owned by billionaire oligarchs who ensure that outlets appear politically diverse while never critiquing the power of capital or reminding people that they can build a better world”
