A new Pew poll in the U.S. suggests that Golly Miss Molly, people think the mainstream media might just be politically biased, that they’re inaccurate, and that they don’t care about the people they report on. And that they don’t stand up for America.
US public sees news media as biased, inaccurate, uncaring: poll
More than half of Americans say US news organizations are politically biased, inaccurate, and don’t care about the people they report on, a poll published Thursday showed.
And poll respondents who use the Internet as their main source of news—roughly one quarter of all Americans—were even harsher with their criticism, the poll conducted by the Pew Research Center said.
More than two-thirds of the Internet users said they felt that news organizations don’t care about the people they report on; 59 percent said their reporting was inaccurate; and 64 percent they were politically biased.
More than half—53 percent—of Internet users also faulted the news organizations for “failing to stand up for America”.
Among those who get their news from newspapers and television, criticism of the news organizations was up to 20 percentage points lower than among Internet news audiences, who tend to be younger and better educated than the public as a whole, according to Pew.

Meanwhile, many Canadians apparently think the CBC and other Canadian news media is “fair and balanced” and praise them on the very basis that they don’t stand up for America; and applaud them for their being so obviously politically biased toward the left, and for their constantly being inaccurate about stories that are clearly spun to favor the liberal-left and disparage the right, and for not caring about the people they report on but rather just bolstering liberalism and the fortunes of liberals as a general matter. For example, the CBC still exists.
