Why the right is to blame for distrust in the media

Gallup poll: Only 31 percent of Americans have some degree of trust in newsies, a drop from about 70 percent in 1972 .

David Corn : There was not much talk of specific innovations that could restore this trust.

Corn: Most of the speakers sidestepped notion that news organizations could whip up something shiny and new to forge stronger bonds with their audiences.

Frida Ghitis: Ex-Fox News anchor Kelly Kelly had nothing productive to offer about the media.

She endorsed Trump last year and campaigned for him, and he's arguably the biggest liar in the history of politics.

She says the GOP and media have done much through the decades to degrade the national discourse with lies and disinformation.

Ghitis says media-bashing became a bedrock of Republican politics and it has continued to this day .

No one at Semafor gabfest pondered why this dramatic decrease on the GOP side has occurred.

Distrust of the media is not a nonpartisan issue. If media barons don’t recognize this, they will not likely concoct innovations that effectively address it.
