When reading the Archer reading, I was very intrigued by how Trump interacts with the press and how his condemnation of certain medias has led to these sources being considered less credible by many people, likely Trump’s supporters who take everything he says at face value. The idea that these sources would be less credible due to falsely predicting the results of the 2016 is abhorrent to me, there are many factors which led to that false prediction which had nothing to do with the media’s credibility and had much to do with people lying about where they would cast their votes or not speaking up in any polls at all.
I was especially interested in the fact that Trump considers Fox News a highly credible source because it presents him in a tremendously positive light unlike many other sources. It seems very hypocritical that he would approve of and promote a media source which reciprocally promotes him.
