I hate Polls because no one ever calls me for my opinion and I sit by the phone all day.

It really depends on who’s doing the reporting. I read the same stories on the web that gets reported on the evening news and the TV tends to do [bites of news] leaving gaps in the whole story. Radio does also, however, newspaper in general does detail stories. I guess they get paid by the word.

What I really see is the [selective] reporting of news that determines bias.
It’s what they feed you determines what you are.

Perception is not reality. Reality is reality.

The fact that 59% of the dems think that all is hunky-dory with the media is the most telling and a sure indicator that the media is leftie, especially compared with the ‘happiness meter’ of the other two groups.

1) The 3% falls within the margin of error. These people obviously made an error somewhere answering the poll question. “If you mean by ‘Are you a Republican’ that I’m really a Democrat, then yes, I am a Republican.”

2) I was thinking the same thing that the 22% roughly estimates the block the Nutroots makes of the current DNC. It’s all allegorical, however, and one number does not necessarily mean equality, but it’s striking that the 20% number keeps popping up.

One thing’s for certain– that 20% votes and gives craploads of cashola.

It’s even scarier to think that one in five Democrats are that bent. Just apply it to a college. Would you respect a professor if he said the news was too conservative? What else does he/she believe? That 9/11 was caused by a massive government coverup?

Just the fact that so many dems think the media is just right shows that it skews left.

That 22% is the same far left loonie toons who protested the Columbus Day parade in Denver ysterday.

Shocking Poll: Republicans Still Hate the Media…

Why even bother polling this? It’s so obvious the media is overwhelmingly slanted to the left….

16% of dems think the media is too conservative, 19% think we’ll be better off if we lose the war. Margin of error 3%. We now have an accurate count of moonbats in the democrat party.

Who are the 3% of conservatives that think the media are too liberal?

My guess? John Cole, Andrew Sullivan and Glenn Greenwald.

Sooo… what was the big event between 97 and 98 which caused the huge jump in the stats? Whatever it was has had a lasting serious impact on how people view the media… you can’t have a perptual 20% shift in data like that without some watershed event…

But I can’t remember any really big event right about then…
