Trump's battle with media will last well beyond 100 days

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : The press and the American public have a pretty full picture of what Trump is doing and thinking at any given time.
62% : The journalism industry must humble and reinvent itself if it ever expects to win back public confidence.
61% : Trump is certainly one of the most mercurial, bombastic, hyperbolic and controversial politicians of all time, yet his administration enjoys the public's confidence more than these supposed guardians of democracy.
48% : But there are consequences to media's growing tendency for political activism and its declining commitment to balance and accuracy.
41% : It is also hard for the press to play the victim and act put upon when Trump is, by many measures, one of the most transparent presidents in recent history.
40% : Trump still takes impromptu shots at reporters and certain news outlets, as he did recently when he chastised CNN's Kaitlan Collins during an Oval Office gathering.
34% : The media are basically left battling Trump in the court of public opinion.
34% : That says more about the press than it does about Trump.
33% : Trump continues to bash the media because it is a winning issue for him.
32% : To act all righteous and victimized because Trump dislikes the media is a strategy that hasn't worked up until now -- and might never work.
22% : Any thoughts that Trump might moderate his anti-media efforts have been thoroughly dismissed.
19% : The news industry characterizes its feud with Trump as protecting the First Amendment from executive abuse that is a threat to democracy.
