RESTON, VA – The Media Research Center (MRC) announces the findings of a new post-election poll on what actual voters thought about the media’s influence on the 2016 presidential race. The MRC/YouGov poll was conducted on November 9 and 10.
Key findings:
•7 in 10 (69%) voters do not believe the news media are honest and truthful.
•8 in 10 (78%) of voters believe the news coverage of the presidential campaign was biased, with nearly a 3-to-1 majority believing the media were for Clinton (59%) vs. for Trump (21%).
•Even 1/3 (32%) of Clinton voters believe the media were “pro-Clinton.”
•8% of Trump voters said they would have voted for Clinton if they had believed what the media were saying about Trump.
•97% of voters said they did not let the media’s bias influence their vote.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
Parent companies include: Disney, Comcast, Time Warner. Avoid patronizing the Media disease.
The American people have reached their “Pravda” point. The Russians didn’t believe Pravda, either. They learned how to sift through the news to get something approximating the truth, but never learned the whole truth.
Now we have gone the same way.
And STILL REJECTING the mediapukes!!! Only fox business channel is allowed in my house but off it goes when Cavuto and Charles Payne come on...I CANT STOMACH those two!! They turned me off with their rhetoric against Trump!
I have a theory that people seek to become “more abstract” as time goes on (by “more abstract” I mean “more able to support themselves by manipulating symbols, and to live in a virtual world of symbols and concepts”).
I find it fascinating that the more “abstract” people become, the more prone they become to behavior that is basically suicidal.
Compare the number of artists who commit suicide to the number of factory workers, or farmers, or dentists.
The blogger over at SchnitzelRepublic reports the same skepticism among the German public.
He made the observation that all their liberals were equally shocked at the election results and said that was because the German Media (and probably European) didn’t do any research and just parroted the American versions.
How could anyone say the media was biased in favor of Trump?
If only 97% of voters had the smarts, the intellectual horsepower, the common sense, whatever you choose to label it, to see the propaganda behind the "news" and pushpolls, the results of the election might have resulted in a bigger, totally humiliating destruction of the party and the individuals manufacturing the"news" and push polls that produced, finally, a Donald Trump, swamp drainers and stable cleaners.
Every nook and corner!
That 21% is now front and center on FB accusing their “friends” 24x7 of racism etc. which doesn’t seem to violate their community standards
That 21% figure is about the same as the percentage who call themselves "liberal" in opinion polls. 20% of the country are nuts.
Insanity.

Eighteen years ago, when I first began commenting on this subject in Free Republic, my estimate was 15%. Clinically nuts, including all voters.
Astonishingly, today, my personal estimate is between 50% and 70%, based on their ignorance, irrational violent behavior, and total unawareness that they are self-destructing.
Survival dictates that Society will react with superior violence, no mercy, and utter finality.*
If their number keeps increasing, who knows what form the final social suicide will take?
* The Kent State Shootings, 1970, absolutely brought irrational, violent, felonious "protests" to an immediate and long lasting halt.
Please spare me the asinine, "we are better than China or Russia or whatever. The number of innocent, normal, rational bystanders who die is paramount. The insane are not.
There was a lot of cheering for Trump when the press saw him as a way to get ratings and destroy the Republican Party - like how they cheered for McCain until the convention.
How could anyone say the media was biased in favor of Trump?
