Breitbart.com has an article on a new Pew Research Center poll showing most people see news media as biased and inaccurate.
Among their findings:
- This sentiment was higher among internet users, with 59% saying media is inaccurate and 64% saying they're biased
- Internet users tend to be younger and better educated than the average
The article also noted the change in opinions over the last 20 years:
Two decades ago, public attitudes about how news organizations do their job were less negative. Most people believed that news organizations stood up for America... a majority believed that news organizations got the facts straight," Pew said in a report.
You can thank the rise of the new media (talk radio, internet news, blogs, and other conservative news outlets) for this. Twenty years ago, liberals had a near-total lock on the news with NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times as your only information source.
Now some of the truth is leaking through. Now average Americans can get news without being made to feel that embracing traditional values and loving America is only for provincial, knuckle-dragging rubes who never made it past the third grade...like the liberal media wants you to think.
