With some exceptions, I trust the news media a heck of a lot more than I do Bannon. The media is not the "opposition" party - how ridiculous. It may seem that way to this guy because the media are not swallowing the manipulative lies this administration is cranking out. The media are not embarrassed and humiliated because Trump won. What nonsense. A lot of pollsters, including Republican ones, got it wrong.
A strong and independent press, particularly in times like these, is crucial to democracy. Bannon is anything but crucial to democracy.
