It has fallen most among supporters of the Republican Party, partially in response to a constant drumbeat of complaints about a biased press from conservative elites. This is a serious problem. Trust in the mainstream news is essential for the health of a democracy, now more than ever. If there is something to these allegations, we need to address it," said study author Eric Merkley, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of British Columbia.
