Even though the graphs do show some correlation between politics and media trust, I believe there may be other factors at play here. For instance, the need to make headlines ever more clickbait may also be eroding trust. Since the body of the article and the headline often don't agree.

It's more that they get pissed at the headline writers. Cf any number of articles headlined as a cancer "breakthrough" or an asteroid "heading for Earth" etc.
