That's easily proven to be false.

The amount of retractions, corrections and dismissals lately prove that to be true. When Breitbart News is fact checking CNN the worm is beginning to turn.

And of course which American people? Trump's supporters don't trust the media and why would they?
The truth is that President Trump and CNN/MSNBC etc. are co enablers. It is no secret that the MSM gave Trump a ton of
free publicity, some estimate it at $5 billion worth.

I hesitate to use the term “free media”, because Donald Trump earned his media coverage. He earned it from his bombastic and insulting statements, he earned it from pulling in massive crowds to his rallies, and he earned it from winning primary after primary. Whether by design or accident, he bypassed paid advertising to bask in the attention and validation of a 24-hour news cycle.

CNN’s revenue has topped $1 billion for several years, but this is the first time in its 36 years it could see $1 billion in profit.

The 2016 election pointed to something we already knew, but needed confirmation on a national and global scale: earned media, both social and traditional, is significantly more effective in driving market awareness then paid media (advertising). During the GOP primary, anti-Trump groups within the GOP spent nearly $30 million in advertising to unseat Donald Trump as the party’s potential nominee! But during the same period Trump drove $400 million in high-stakes news coverage – without spending a dime.
