So, the medias credibility tanking since 1972 is because of Trump ??
Media Use and Evaluation | Gallup Historical Trends
Come on people the medias credibility problems started looooong before Trump was known.
I did not say that there were no problems before Trump, but Trump has made the issues much more prominent and has been one of the most prolific attacker of free press right now (at least of someone in a position in power in the US). Don't get me wrong, Putin and others like him are even worse. One thing Trump has not been doing is killing journalists but the tone he uses when opposing media who disagree with him is rather alarming IMHO.
