Republican respondents were almost three times as likely as Democratic ones to blame journalists for making up “fake news.”

A majority of all main stream journalists are leftists so it's no surprise that Republicans would in general feel less trusting in journalists. I just don't understand why anyone trusts any "journalist" working for any large media outlet (Fox, CNN, NYT, etc.). I can understand trusting journalists for Reuters, AFP or AP (the only actual western news outlets that are generally objective that the rest piggy back off of), but man AP has significantly declined over the last few years. They have had multiple articles I've seen where the headlines contradict the actual article, so they've been infected.

All press is hopelessly biased at this point--even Reuter and AP as you pointed out. I get my news from NYT, BBC, RT, Rodong Sinmun, and Inspire so that I know I'm getting all sides of the story.

The American wing of RT is just terrible. The actual Russian version is surprisingly good, but obviously biased towards Russia.
