The Hill: Poll: Most Voters Believe the Media is Unethical, Biased

Likely voters hold a dismal view of the news media, generally regarding reporters as biased, unethical and too close to the politicians they purport to cover, according to a new poll for The Hill.

A full 68 percent of voters consider the news media biased, the poll found. Most, 46 percent, believe the media generally favor Democrats, while 22 percent said they believe Republicans are favored, with 28 percent saying the media is reasonably balanced.

    The 28% who think the media are perfectly accurate must be the same 28% who tell pollsters they think the country is
    “on the right track.” It must be fun to be high as a kite 24/7.

    Let’s see, the top 6 communications companies in this country get their news from 2 main sources….Reuters and the AP. AP is owned by Reuters and Reuters is wholly owned by the Rothchilds, so there couldn’t POSSIBLY be any agenda being pushed by the media, I’m SURE it’s 100% balanced. So balanced that a mere 1% less than a FULL THIRD of the audience are COMPLETELY unable to figure out that the media is biased! WOW!!!
