Does the mainstream media contribute to fake news?

In line with Graber's discussion of increasing distrust of media, POLITICO and Morning Consult found that about half of voters believe the media makes up stories about the Trump administration. This number skyrockets for Republicans, with 76% thinking the media fabricates news about Trump; only 20% of Democrats and 44% of independents voters agree.

Moreover, in addition to his usual complaints about the media, Trump suggested revoking NBC's broadcasting license.
