Gallup announced that its latest poll on American trust in the mass media to report the news "fully, accurately, and fairly" hasn't changed a bit from last year.

CNN twisted a Gallup poll’s results yesterday in an effort to support their narrative that most Americans want a never-ending national lockdown.

As a member of The Daily Signal team, I took offense to The Washington Post’s recent questioning of our “legitimacy” as a news organization. The Washington Post began its story stating that, “In an age of partisan media, the lines between ‘partisan’ and ‘media’ can sometimes blur.” I wonder if the reporter has taken a look at just how partisan some of our country’s media behemoths actually are.…
