Trump calling stuff fake news and saying journalists are the enemy ( heartbreaking ) caused liberal trust of the media to skyrocket. They had more skepticism though not enough before that. Compared with conservatives, liberals claimed higher levels of trust of everything including literal right wing propaganda outlets since Trump. Conservatives basically only trust Fox News which is just about the only right wing propaganda that liberals didn't trust. So I hope they wake up to the fact that all media is owned by capitalists and there's apparently a lot of value they see in being able to influence public opinion.

Conservatives have even started turning against Fox because "It's not conservative enough." They were pissing and shitting all over themselves when Fox announced Biden won in 2020.

No, they won't, they treat this strictly personally.
