RedState "There were a couple of interesting stories out today that unexpectedly dovetailed into a nice commentary on the news media. First up we have a very interesting poll from Axios.
"This is actually stunning. A super-majority of Americans thinks that the news media intentionally runs inaccurate stories. To be clear, I’m not saying they are wrong, I’m just remarking on the total lack of trust people have for the media. This bolsters the findings by a Knight-Gallup poll earlier in the year that found 66% of Americans thought the media could not separate truth from opinion and only 34% had a positive view of the media.
"If the top line isn’t bad enough, just dig into the details:
- 70% say that “traditional major news sources report news they know to be fake, false, or purposely misleading.”
"Consider the impact of that for a moment. We’ve long chronicled “name that party” stories where an indicted Democrat politician’s political affiliation will often be omitted from a news story while a Republican will be identified as such in the lede. " . . .
