The reason for this partisan breakdown is very clear; several mainstream media outlets have an open bias in favor of the political left. They don’t even try to hide this anymore; CNN, MSNBC, and the New York Times are some great examples.
CNN anchors are notorious for getting on air and bashing Trump voters, unvaccinated Americans, Republican governors, and others. These news anchors openly flaunt their disdain for anyone who does not see the world and politics as they do; it’s honestly no wonder that Independents and Republicans don’t trust them as much as Democrats.
If things continue on their current path, the media should expect trust in them to keep falling. Right now, there’s no sign that any of these mainstream, openly leftist outlets will do anything to bring in Republican and Independent viewers.
