On this segment of The Morning Brief, host Jeff Chidester tackles the growing crisis of institutional trust in America. Examining public skepticism toward the press, government, and educational institutions, Jeff breaks down how decades of ideological bias, lack of accountability, and broken promises have damaged the credibility of these foundational pillars.

Instead of pointing fingers at everyday citizens for their skepticism, Jeff explores how these powerful bodies have largely brought this loss of faith upon themselves—and what standard of accountability is required to earn it back.
