Looks like Democrat faith in the media was lowest right before Trump was elected. Then in order to pit themselves against his "fake news" claims, seeing the media as his clear enemy, they jumped back on board.

You have to also consider the fact that a democrat who stops trusting the media will likely stop being a democrat and gets re-categorized as an independent or possibly republican. So this trend for democrats in the above graph may not be what it seems. It may be reflecting people leaving the democratic party and not so much regaining trust in the media.

Notable inflection point: 2016 election. The D & R lines are positively correlated, until the correlation suddenly flips from positive to negative.

This is more than variation in the amount of correlation, it's a reversal of the direction of correlation.

Math doesnt lie: something significant happened here.

I think the MSM Lies have long ago made the First Amendment Useless. The Obvious 24/7 criminals lies can Not be protected by protection of 'free' speech, when Everything they say is a communist Lie.

I consider this chart as the results of a very large IQ test. IQ is inversely proportional to trust in MSM to get ANYTHING right. The Dimwit Party folks are, sadly, low-IQ people we have to put up with in our society. God save us.
