Trump is declaring war on fact-checkers due to media hostility.

As the criticism against Donald Trump intensifies, he is facing off with fact-checkers.

The journalists and organizations that provide coverage are revered as if they were prophets delivering the divine word from Mount Olympus. There is no indication that they may sometimes be incorrect or overzealous in their reporting.

A recent Gallup poll revealed that 36% of respondents had "no trust at all" in the media, while only 31% said the media was fair and accurate a "great deal" or "fair amount." The distrust was significantly higher among Republicans than Democrats.

Some decisions are clear-cut, but it can be challenging to hold Trump accountable because fact checks can be contentious in gray areas or over something he said jokingly at a rally.

Kamala Harris has recently come out of her shell and is now facing the media to address her slipping polls. With Democrats in a state of panic, she is also intensifying her attacks against the former president. The media is offering free advice on how to revive her campaign.

Trump criticized ABC's fact-checking during his debate with Harris, citing it as a reason for turning down "60 Minutes." He also faced criticism from CNBC for canceling an interview.

The moment that best encapsulates the media's opposition to Trump is his speech before the National Association of Black Journalists. In contrast to his divisive opening statement, Harris's appearance was more of a celebration.

The hour-long impasse that occurred behind the scenes was tense, with Trump refusing to take the stage unless there would be no fact-checking. When he eventually took the stage, the group lied and blamed the entire delay on audio problems.

Despite Trump's use of inflammatory language and controversial statements, many Republicans remain unphased.

An unusual facet of Donald J. Trump's political allure is that numerous individuals are content to cast their ballots for him because they doubt he will fulfill many of the promises he makes.

"They justify his speech by giving him the advantage of the doubt."

A Detroit publisher, 40 years old, stated that he doubted Trump would remove all federal employees and hire only election skeptics, explaining it could be for media attention and provoking controversy.

In 2020, Trump received the support of roughly 73 million voters, regardless of whether he won or lost the election.

The majority of mainstream media, with a few exceptions, have never truly grasped the unbreakable connection between Trump and his supporters. Most of them operate in echo chambers where it is unacceptable to consider Trump a threat to democracy. He has gained support among Black voters, particularly Black men, who feel that the Democrats make campaign promises but later neglect their community.

Trump supporters are being criticized as being unintelligent or racist by some pundits. However, this "basket of deplorables" approach fails to understand the concerns of a significant portion of the country. If Trump wins a second term, it may be necessary to reevaluate their views about America. Unfortunately, the media do not typically engage in self-reflection.
