Brutal Poll For the Media: 69% Say the Media Is More Interested In Pushing Its Opinions Than Gathering Facts

Learn to code.

The poll found that more than two-thirds of the public (69%) think the news media "is more concerned with advancing its points of view rather than reporting all the facts." Only 29% of the public disagrees with that statement.
In other words, nearly seven out of 10 adults in the country think the Post ad's blather about "gathering the facts" is bull.

That includes 72% of independents, 95% of Republicans, and -- surprisingly enough -- 43% of Democrats.

There's more. Fifty-nine percent say that the press covers issues in a way "that seeks to delegitimize the views held by President Trump and his supporters."

Sixty percent of independents and 93% of Republicans agree with that.

Also, more than half (53%) say they agree that the media "prematurely declared President Trump guilty of collusion with Russia without sufficient evidence."
