Independents tend to think they?re all a bunch of liars, with 52 percent calling the administration untruthful and 47 percent calling the media the same."

The title of this thread should have been: Trump More Widely Trusted Than News Media by Republicans.
Yep and a good % of those republicans believe the bowling greene massacre happened
