President Trump has repeatedly complained he can't get a fair shake from the news media, and--by a narrow margin--a majority of Americans agree. A poll released Sunday by The Wall Street Journal and NBC News finds 51% of Americans believe the media has been too critical of Trump, while 41% think news coverage has been fair and objective, and 6% say the media hasn't been tough enough. Last week, a Quinnipiac poll found Americans similarly split, but with a majority, 52%, trusting the news media over Donald Trump to tell the truth about important issues. The poll found similar splits depending on where Americans get their news, with Fox News viewers most likely--81%--to believe that the news media has been "too critical" of Trump. Asked if they believe the news media is "exaggerating the problems with the Trump Administration because they are uncomfortable and threatened with the kind of change Trump represents," 89% of Republicans agreed.
