Users have lower levels of trust in mainstream news than the rest of the population. This is the case for users of right-wing _and_ left-wing ANM and is the case whether we look at coverage of news in general or specific topics (immigration, climate, economy).
Notable diff. btw users of LW and RW ANM: LW users only have lower trust in MSM that (allegedly) have a right leaning. Their trust in MSM with an (alleged) left leaning is comparable to rest of population’s. RW users have lower trust in MSM regardless of their left/right leaning.
