A recent Gallup survey reveals that only 28% of Americans trust mainstream media to report accurately, marking the lowest level in poll history. Trust among Republicans is alarmingly low at just 8%, illustrating deep partisan divides fueled by perceived media bias and selective reporting. The decline in credibility is linked to decades of alleged bias, especially since the 2016 election, with media outlets accused of favoring Democrats and suppressing stories unfavorable to them.

One notable recent example highlighting media bias is the handling of Congressman Eric Swalwell’s scandal. Despite rumors and reports about his inappropriate behavior dating back years, mainstream outlets failed to report these concerns until the story gained damaging traction, exposing how media often protects left-leaning figures to serve partisan goals. The article criticizes the media's role during the COVID-19 pandemic, Hunter Biden story suppression, and the downplaying of issues like Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, portraying a pattern of ideological favoritism that erodes public trust.
