I like to believe I'm the biggest contrarian in this chat, but I'm also not delusional.

Trump gets 92% negative press coverage from the "free press".

Wow. 

Only 92%?

Fake news! He gets a well deserved 99% of negative press coverage.

The 1% is Fox News.

Question:

Do you guys really mistrust "mainstream" media?

What part of what say, NYT, is supposed to be negative or false?

One of the reasons I despise Trump is his attacks on the free press. The effects of that will be felt for generations, and I'm shocked to see that it is not a thing exclusive to Trump supporters.

Yes, I mistrust every news outlet. You always have to dig deeper into the facts to get the actual news without a slant. Alternative media is biased as well but most progressive media will be upfront with their biases and slants, even so you still can't take their news at face value as well. Always look at the sources and look at where, from who, and how those sources got that info and judge for yourself.

Only 7% of journalist identify as Republicans, as opposed to ca. 50% of the electorate.

You're mistaking party identification with party lean. They are different things. Both, either way, are smaller for the GOP than you believe them to be.

Warren is claiming that Facebook changed their political ad policy after a meeting with Trump. There is no evidence to back this up.

Anecdotally, all of my FB friends and I recently had a huge inrush of Trump and conservative leaning ads.  Somehow, our ad preferences were suddenly populated with all of that. 

That's what happens when they buy ad space.
