The MSM is nothing more than the "voice of the swamp". Their countless lies and subtle innuendo's are meant to crush Trump, whom they are at war with. They realize, and so must we, that over time, if not checked, they will grind down and sway public opinions. In fact, they already have brainwashed a large segment of our society. Make no doubt, it is a war on Trump, and ultimately a war on our Constitution. But there is hope. American's have awoken and we are have found alternative news to their propaganda. -W.E.

According to a recent poll conducted by Emerson College, the American people, by a 10-point margin, find President Donald Trump’s administration to be more truthful than the media.
Independents are fairly evenly split on their distrust of the Trump administration and the media, with distrust at 52 percent and 47 percent respectively.
This distrust in the media has been a common theme for some time, with trust dropping to all time lows just late last year. According to a Gallup poll, only 32 percent of Americans actually trusted the media to report fairly and accurately. This poll showed that at the time, Republicans had a measly 14 percent trust in the media.
This poll has a margin of error of +/-3.9 percent and was conducted Feb. 5-6, with a sample size of 617 registered voters.
