Sarah Sanders: 'I'm More Credible Than The Media'

During Tuesday’s White House press briefing, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders snapped back after reporters challenged the veracity and credibility of the White House’s statements, asserting, “Frankly, I think my credibility is probably higher than the media’s.”

Turns out, she was right, albeit by a small margin, according to MediaPost.

Asked who is more credible, 51.6% of American adults surveyed by Research Intelligencer and Pollfish said Sanders is vs. a close minority of 48.4% who said the journalists who cover the White House are.

That said, a majority of U.S. adults also feel it is appropriate for the press to challenge Sanders’ credibility.

Fifty-three percent said yes, 26% said not, and 21% said they weren’t sure.
