Declining...
One possible explanation for declining trust in news organizations is blurry lines between news and opinion. If someone doesn’t like a commentator’s stance on particular issues, that could color how they look at everything else that news organization does.
Plus, research by API shows that people are finding it difficult to tell the difference between news, analysis and opinions.
News organizations employ inconsistent terminology and labeling when it comes to news, opinion and analysis. That inconsistency creates confusion for readers.
With just a bit of thoughtfulness and some design tweaks, a news organization can use better labeling of news and opinion to make big strides in readers’ trust and understanding of its work.
Chaos...
The leader of a militia group who's been detaining migrants near the U.S.-Mexico border allegedly told the FBI his militia was training to assassinate former President Obama, Hillary Clinton and Democratic donor George Soros.
Larry Hopkins, head of the United Constitutional Patriots, is charged with possession a firearm as a felon and could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Hopkins appeared before a federal judge Monday.
Videos from the group show militia members stopping migrants, sometimes at gunpoint, near the border in New Mexico. The United Constitutional Patriots said they are simply doing their part to enforce U.S. immigration laws. In 60 days, they claim they've captured about 5,600 migrants who illegally entered the country.

Both sides in America’s political war formed their opinion of Trump. The left skewers him as a serial adulterer and pathological liar, whose lack of decency is proven by his stiffing small businesses and whose coarseness is well below the dignity of the office.
A somewhat bifurcated right has stuck with him throughout the investigation. Some believe he is the imperfect vessel their God brought to power to right wrongs and stick a thumb in the eye of the establishment and intellectuals they believe have looked down their noses at them for a decade.
Others on the right have seemingly held their noses and looked the other way to cement a conservative judiciary for a generation.

For three decades we never have witnessed America this dug in, with so few people open to changing their minds.
Today, political professionals oversee spending hundreds of millions of dollars to try to get 3 of the 5 percent undecided. And by the next election, it could well be 2 of 3 percent.
Democrats now are aggressively investigating Trump the businessman, if he played games with his taxes or accepted loans from less-than-reputable sources.
But what is clear is the Mueller report provided both sides with irrefutable evidence that their beliefs are sound, even though these views are 180 degrees apart. We just ended an exhaustive two years of investigations only to end up where we began.

What...
The Democrats after the Muller report are in the same position that they were before the report. This President is not doing what the American people wants..... but they themselves usig the time just to do nothing for the American people either.
People are side racked with the Media talks about nothing, and the politicians who are doing nothing to improve people's lives.
Nothing about the borders, nothing about those who are illegally in this country, without paying taxes, but using the courts in their, nothing about reducing medication pricing, America's infrastructure, roads, bridges, etc.
Caravan...
Central American migrants hoping to reach the U.S. are finding a much tougher trek than those in previous caravans, meeting unwelcoming townsfolk and a surprise raid by Mexican police and immigration agents in Mexico's south.
Migrants would not be received with the same hospitality that greeted previous caravans, and they won't be safe walking along the rural highway either.
Mexican authorities say they detained 367 people in the largest single raid on a migrant caravan.

Mexico's National Migration Institute issued a statement saying migrants "began an aggression" against the agents, who then called in federal police.
Who's organizing and paying for these activities?
