TRUMP LOSES: Despite his attacks on the media, now more people trust the media

According to Reuters, a new poll shows that the amount of Americans who trust the media increased from 39% in November of 2016, to 48% in September of 2017.

In the same period, the percent of Americans who did not trust the media dropped from 51% to 45% in the same period.

Trump bites his own ass by attacking media sources

Donald Trump tweeted this today in a feeble attempt at trying to discredit the media because they protect their sources:

Remember, when you hear the words "sources say" from the Fake Media, often times those sources are made up and do not exist.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 12 de julio de 2017

Well, guess what? You guess it. Trump has used "sources" several times:

DAY 37: Donald Trump lies about The New York Times, and then gets debunked

Donald Trump has been calling The New York Times "failing" for months. This morning he insisted:

FAKE NEWS media knowingly doesn't tell the truth. A great danger to our country. The failing @nytimes has become a joke. Likewise @CNN. Sad!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2017

Turns out it's the opposite. The New York Times is the one showing the one who is lying is Trump. And this morning, CNBC social lead Steve Kopack showed Trump was lying about the NYT "failing" and neither is CNN:

Sean Spicer technically admits Donald Trump is a dictator

CNCB social lead Steve Koapck noticed something today: Back in December Sean Spicer claimed that only dictators would prohibit access to the press. But today, Spicer did not allow reporters from The New York Times, CNN and Politico to attend his press briefing:

In December, Spicer said barring media access is what a ‘dictatorship’ does.

Today, he barred media access. https://t.co/Jd0DNN4pT6

DAY 34: Poll shows most Americans, even Trump supporters, support the media

Trump has tried time and again to delegitimize the media with constant attacks against them simply because the media tells the truth about them.

But a new poll by Pew Research shows that the majority of Americans, even Trump supporters, do want the media to report on offensive and false statements, such as those by Donald Trump:

77% of registered voters favor news media emphasizing inaccurate statements made by candidates https://t.co/CSBZUCgbTs pic.twitter.com/j1HhQbbyI9

DAY 18: Trump says any negative polls and articles against him are fake news, but numbers don't lie

The first thing Donald Trump tweeted today was this:

Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election. Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 6 de febrero de 2017

That's false. A CNN poll showed last week 53% opposed Trump's Muslim ban with 47% agreeing with it. Those numbers reflect pretty closely the popular vote.

DAY 14: HYPOCRISY: Trump complains about UC Berkeley protests but his people want to shut free press

Donald Trump tweeted this today:

If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view - NO FEDERAL FUNDS?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 2 de febrero de 2017

The tweet refers to the protests agains Milo Yiannopoulous, a racist, far-right troll (and Breitbart contributor) who got kicked from Twitter for targetting Black actress Leslie Jones with hate speech. He was invited to give a speech at UC Berkeley and the students started peaceful protests against him. However, later during the protests some unidentified poepled acted violently and the university responded by treating the protests as a riot (you know: using tear gas, rubber bullets, that sort of thing). But Yiannopoulous speech was cancelled.

But Trump can't complain about it, since him and his closests advisers have tried to shut up the free press. Here are three examples:

VIDEO: How the media becomes an accomplice to Trump by calling his lies "falsehoods"

MSNBC explains how the media is becoming an accomplice to Donald Trump's lies by calling them "falsehoods", since the word "falsehood" removed the intent of the lie and turns the person using the word "falsehood" into the liar:
