Even this Bezos Op-Ed is dishonest:
Liberals still today have a lot of trust in the news media as a whole, almost unchanged for the last 30 years, and very high trust in WaPo, NYT, Atlantic, NPR, etc - which are all garbage.
He linked to the poll so he knows it's a left / right divide and not Americans as a whole.
What he should say is that having half the country with zero trust and the other half with a great deal of trust clearly shows actual bias and he's going to fix the actual bias. And ironically, WaPo coming out and endorsing Trump with a well-reasoned examination of why Trump is the right choice would do so much in fixing the perception. In an epic reversal they could justifiably trash the Democrats for not having a primary, facilitating cheating, spreading hoax after hoax, hateful Hitler rhetoric, and so on.
WaPo Trump endorsement saying "you're the bad guys now, and WaPo is not going to be the bad guy anymore". But he doesn't even have the balls to be honest about the problem much less do what it takes to correct it.
Unintentionally based? NPCs that trust the media aren't Americans.
