* Dr. Anthony Fauci and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo are once again the two most trusted American leaders on the coronavirus in Insider's latest poll.

* With Jared Kushner taking on a more public role in the White House's coronavirus response, his entrance onto the poll started off with a thud.

* We asked respondents: "When it comes to the official advice regarding coronavirus, please rate how much you trust the following messengers on a scale on 1 to 5."

* Kushner is dead last among the 10 names respondents rated on trustworthiness in the Insider poll, averaging a 2.35, firmly in the "somewhat distrust" territory.
Fauci topped his score from last time, landing at a 3.96, while Cuomo rose to a 3.31.

When it comes to who to trust on the coronavirus, Americans still rate Dr. Anthony Fauci and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo the highest, a new Insider poll showed.

Insider asked poll respondents to rate 10 top Trump administration officials and governors on trustworthiness.

We asked respondents: "When it comes to the official advice regarding coronavirus, please rate how much you trust the following messengers on a scale on 1 to 5."

According to our poll, 1 means strongly distrust, 2 means somewhat distrust, 3 means neither trust nor distrust, 4 means somewhat trust, and 5 means strongly trust. Participants were asked to mark "NA" if they were unfamiliar with the person.

Fauci and Cuomo received the highest marks, while President Donald Trump and his senior adviser — and son-in-law — Jared Kushner received the lowest.

* Respondents gave Fauci an average score of 3.96 out of 5 for trustworthiness — up slightly from 3.84 last time in late March. Fully 44% of respondents rated him five-out-of-five, and a further 24% gave him a 4 of 5.

* Cuomo received an average score of 3.31 out of 5, also up slightly from the last poll. Just shy of half — 46% — gave Cuomo a 4 or 5 on communication.

* Global-health Ambassador Deborah Birx, the response coordinator of the coronavirus task force, got a score of 3.21 out of 5.

* California Gov. Gavin Newsom got an average score of 3.15 out of 5.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar was rated 3.03 out of 5

* Former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive 2020 Democratic nominee, got an average score of 2.69 out of 5, down slightly from March.

* Vice President Mike Pence was rated a 2.67 out of 5 on average for trustworthiness. While about a third of respondents gave Pence a 4 or 5, another third gave him a 1 of 5.

* Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin is no longer the lowest score last time, even though his rating of 2.51 out of 5 is down from March by a hair.

* President Donald Trump scored 2.48 out of 5 on average, also down very slightly from March, when he rated 2.56.

* The poll's newest entry, White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner, saw the lowest score at 2.35 out of 5.

Kushner, who has been operating a different coronavirus task force and began making public statements on behalf of the coronavirus response only recently, received a 4 or 5 from less than 20% of respondents. The president's son-in-law with no medical experience, Kushner received a 1 or 2 from 47% of respondents.

Note: Truth-Sayers - will always get better marks then those who fabricate what they feel is the truth!

Today many people have no doubt about one premise: they know what a lie is. Naturally, they demand that online platforms refuse to run political ads containing lies. Put another way, the platforms should make sure that no one hears false speech. Democratic citizens should not be burdened by the task of making up their own minds about the truth or falsity of speech in political ads online. After all, the people demanding suppression of speech in ads have no doubts that they know what is true and what is false in politics.

Or; Fabrication or Political bias:

Political bias is a bias or perceived bias involving the slanting and altering of information to make a political position or political candidates seem more attractive. With a distinct association to media bias, it commonly refers to how a reporter, news organization, or TV show covers political candidates and policy issues. Bias emerges in a political context when individuals engage an inability or unwillingness to understand a politically opposing point of view. Such bias in individuals may have roots in each individual's traits and thinking styles, and it is not clear whether individuals at particular positions along the political spectrum are more biased than any other individuals. Political Bias exists beyond simple presentation and understanding of view-points favouring a particular political leader or party, but rather transcends into the readings and interactions among individuals undertaken on a daily basis. The prevalence of political bias has a lasting impact with proven effects on voter behaviour and consequent political outcomes. With an understanding of Political Bias, comes acknowledgement of its violation of expected political neutrality. Lack of Political Neutrality is the result of political bias and further the control mechanism to reduce political bias.
