Is Trump's biggest first 100 day accomplishment muting the media?

An adversarial relationship between presidents and the press corps should be expected. It’s the reason why a bulletproof vest hangs symbolically in the office of the White House press secretary. But if past executives sniped at journalists, Trump has declared war. He’s shouted down reporters, called them “fake news” (and “very fake news”) and labeled the entire industry the “enemy of the people.”

And it’s worked.

More than half, 51 percent, think the national media “is out of touch with everyday Americans,” while just 28 percent say journalists “understand the issues everyday Americans are facing.” What’s more, 42 percent of those same readers report spotting “fake news.”
