Don't forget that the President of the United States called the press "the enemy of the people" [1].

I disagree with that president about many things, but that I agree that the press is the enemy of the people.
I guess your American? If so, please consider that you are not just one of the voices putting US at the lowest trust in the media, but currently also arguing that it would be better if America was literally at the bottom of the list.
If he'd said that for-profit news media is the enemy of Democracy, I'd have probably bought a hat.
Trust in the media wasn't exactly that high prior to Trump.
Except he's not wrong about that. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. The press is definitely an enemy of the people.
