The rightwing has waged a proverbial war on the media for years, gaslighting them to the general public.

So it stands to reason that public opinion of the media might be affected by that, if for no other reason (and there are surely others)
I'm not sure that gaslighting means what you think it means. In any case, the rightwing doesn't have anywhere near the reach and audience of the unambiguously left-leaning mainstream media. Fox News, for example, doesn't have even remotely the reach and impact of any member of the mainstream media. Fox News wishes they were in the mainstream media, but they're barely a drop in the bucket. They don't do their own original reporting, save rare exceptions, and they cannot mold the opinions and attitudes of the masses the way the MSM can.

Journalism is at its core a left of center, liberal endeavor. It always has been and likely always will. That's the nature of journalists and journalism. The mainstream journalists ceased putting their own bias in check, and for the last few years have stopped even pretending. And still today they continue to perpetuate verifiably and objectively false narratives and hoaxes as if they're true. That's gaslighting.
But guess whose approval and trust ratings are even lower:
It's not a contest, but it's way worse today than in that 2-year-old piece linked.

Regardless, the assertion still stands and so does the need to back it up with facts - if they exist.

Cancel culture strikes again:
How dare she tell people to be nice to their neighbors. :mad:

If Disney thought The Fandom menace was mad and took it out on Solo and Last Jedi, they ain't seen nothing yet. Even Molly Hemingway Tweeted her Disney+ cancellation.

Stacey Abrams is against moving the All Star game out of 60% black Atlanta.

MLB is more woke than Stacey Abrams. Let that one sink in a bit.

There's only one reason the term "white privilege" exists. And it's not because "everybody vs racism."

She wasn't canceled. She was fired for not doing her job. There's a difference.

When they tried to "cancel" her for her impeachment vote, she totally beat that one. But the main duties of the conference chair are to schedule meetings between members to discuss various issues, and has the primary role in party messaging from within the House, both in coordinating media availabilities and interviews with members and speaking on behalf of the caucus. She is still so preoccupied with Trump that she started refusing to schedule meetings between members and instead wanted the meetings to be focused mainly on distancing the party from Trump, and her party messaging was mostly Democrat messaging instead of the Republican messaging. So she's toast. Probably won't get reelected in Wyoming, either.
