Liberal reporters are being triggered by Donald Trump supporters.

Jose A DelReal tweeted a video he says included “boos and cursing and middle fingers.”

The vitriol toward the media here is as bad as I've ever seen it. Boos and cursing and middle fingers as soon as traveling press walked in. pic.twitter.com/n3pV9ngNEo — Jose A. DelReal (@jdelreal) October 14, 2016

The crowd was chanting “tell the truth” as the traveling media made its way into the Ohio arena.

“The vitriol toward the media here is as bad as I’ve ever seen it,” DelReal wrote.

CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto chimed in, saying the chant “is genuinely dangerous.”

Scuitto is probably right — it would be “genuinely dangerous” to tell the truth.

But it may help Americans’ perceptions of the mainstream media.

Gallup reported in September:

Americans’ trust and confidence in the mass media “to report the news fully, accurately and fairly” has dropped to its lowest level in Gallup polling history, with 32% saying they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media. This is down eight percentage points from last year. …

While it is clear Americans’ trust in the media has been eroding over time, the election campaign may be the reason that it has fallen so sharply this year. With many Republican leaders and conservative pundits saying Hillary Clinton has received overly positive media attention, while Donald Trump has been receiving unfair or negative attention, this may be the prime reason their relatively low trust in the media has evaporated even more. It is also possible that Republicans think less of the media as a result of Trump’s sharp criticisms of the press. Republicans who say they have trust in the media has plummeted to 14% from 32% a year ago. This is easily the lowest confidence among Republicans in 20 years.
