Vote of No Confidence: Public Says Media Are Liberal, Biased and Inaccurate | NewsBusters.org

Many Americans do not believe the news media are fair, accurate or even moral, according to a new survey by the Pew Research Center. The poll of 1500 Americans conducted late last month found that most of the public thinks news organizations are politically biased (55%) and often publish inaccurate stories (53%), and that roughly a third of the audience say the media are too critical of America (43%), hurt democracy (36%) and are immoral (32%).

Half of Americans (52%) label the media as liberal, led by self-described Republicans (75%) but also large percentages of independents (49%) and even Democrats (37%). And while journalists tout themselves as the public's objective eyes and ears, many more Americans are confident that the military provides an accurate view of the war in Iraq (52%), compared with 42 percent who trust that the press offers accurate reports.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Pew found that those who have chosen to bypass traditional news outlets in favor of the Internet give the ?harshest indictments of the press.?

Interesting but not surprising. Here's the link to the survey.

@Drnaline,
The US news media is a scandalous, morally corrupt mob of spinsters and closet Commies. Each one of them should do at least two years in hard-labor camps in northern Alaska, preferably in mines vulnerable to cave-in.

You ain't seen nuffin yet. Most of the time when I post, I'm naked, except for an iron jock-strap, combat boots and an SS helmet. I hold an AK-47 in my non-typying hand, and scream profanities into the monitor while posting. Calm down? Where would I even start?Very Happy

@Drnaline,
Is the media under the control of the Lieberal left? Oh yea. All that is going on in this world and these are the top stories in my province.

A Five year old female is not allowed to attend all boys fishing camp. Yes you heard it here first a five year old went to the media and complained because she felt gender marginalized. The second big story-- local mayor refuses to fly Gay Pride Flag, a women (a lefty to the core) holds a rally where a whopping 100 people chanted anti-hate tripe towards said mayor. The gay flag fella that was turned down has filed a Human Rights Complaint, he stated the Mayor quoted the bible and the words were hateful and hurtful. Ergo the bible is now a book of hate to this snot and bawler, the mayor will need to spends of thousands of dollars to defend himself (the complaintant gets a free lawyer, the commissioners actually) to recap a five year old is now dicating what recreation programs are acceptable to the young and up coming Feminazis and a overly sensitive gay fella wants the bible declaired hate litature. Oh yea the media is biased alright.

PW, I'm jealous. As a resident of Khartoum, Sudan, you can probably go out and actually blow people away when angry or frustrated. I can't. I live here in the US, where that sort of thing is frowned upon. Sure, I have the weaponry, but still, shooting people is considered to be in really, really bad taste. So, no.....I can't 'calm down' because I don't have the same opportunities for stress-relief that you do. Do you see what I'm saying?:dunno:
