I have to wonder though, how many of those Republicans count Fox News as "the media"? Somehow despite being the biggest media of all they have somehow managed to define the media as everyone else.

I completely agree. This poll is non-sensical since "the media" is an indirect reference. The question is more about what the indirect reference points to rather than about the state of our information apparatus itself.
A much better poll would be about trust in explicit news sources, which would lead to the obvious conclusion that everyone trusts the sources of news they subscribe to, those sources create a particular reality, and that sources that paint pictures of different realities aren't trust-able.

Rs don't trust Fox either. They called AZ for Biden early. Neil Cavuto clowned himself over Trump taking HCQ. Tucker Carlson helped bury the Hunter Biden laptop story. Nobody trusts Fox on either side.
