Speaker 1 (00:00):
Axios writer Felix Salmon reports that trust in the drive
by media has reached a low point in America. It's
so low that he says it's at a crisis state now.

outlets are more concerned with an ideology or a political
position than they are reporting the news. Almost the same
percentage think that the drive by media journalists are willing
to tell gross exaggerations and to report things they know
