WH's 1600 daily title "The media can't rewrite history" - Gallup

Of course, the whole WH post is another display from this miserable administration. I expect that.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/1600daily/

Funny that they are using (1) media sources to say the (2) media sources are unfair. Of course all of (1) are Fox and friends sources. Oh I forgot: Fox is entertainment so their friends must be so also.

Anyone got a comment on Gallup? First link in the WH post is to Gallup. But it's not a link to Gallup -- it's a link to RW rags. When you get to the actual Gallup report, at the end of that article, you get this:

Only on the news media's handling of the coronavirus are Democrats more approving than Republicans -- 61% vs. 25%, respectively. Gallup has consistently found that Democrats have more confidence than Republicans in mass media.

So I think Gallup's title is perhaps misleading. Thoughts?

PS-
Looks like they erase these gems from whitehouse.gov (no way to look back that I can see) so I made myself a PDF. The other entries on today's 1600daily are FLOTUS and Easter.

Everyone should do this with pages like that.

Do the search in the wayback machine and if it hasn't been saved, then ask the page to do it.
