Nearly six in 10 Americans are upset with the news media, claiming in a new poll that it makes them angry and dissatisfied.

A new Quinnipiac poll asked this question:

"I am going to mention four phrases and ask you which one best describes how you feel about the job the news media has been doing covering American politics. Do you feel enthusiastic, satisfied but not enthusiastic, dissatisfied but not angry, or angry?"

- Enthusiastic: 10%

- Satisfied: 30%

- Dissatisfied: 33%

- Angry: 26%

Who to blame? President Trump, of course.

Quinnipiac said that a majority believe that Trump has helped to change attitudes about the media for the worse:

"Do you believe that President Trump has changed American attitudes towards the news media for the better, for the worse, or hasn't President Trump had an impact on American attitudes towards the news media?"

- For the better: 22%

- For the worse: 52%

- No impact: 20%

Ha ha.

Trump calling msm #FAKENEWS and #VERYFAKENEWS is taking it’s toll.

I don’t believe a word they say, haven’t since President Trump came down and announced he was running for POTUS...

They are liars, every one of them...

Politkovskaya happens.

Turn the media off and enjoy life.

I see a lot of stressed people out there and read a lot of stress related comments online.

Ever wish you could reach through the tv screen and get your hands around the necks of some of those douche nozzle reporters?

Yeah but it’s an unlimited rounds fight and they’re still standing.

We need a knockout because they will try to destroy him with their last breath.

He’s their Moby Dick.

Time for separation of press and state, will the Supreme Court so rule?

They don’t report the news anymore.

We never hear what Pres. Trump said or did.

We do hear what the media thinks about what Pres. Trump said or did.

Cut off their oxygen.

National brands and national chains are their oxygen.

Buy local, store brands

Eat at local restaurants

Cut your cable tv and tell your cable company you want a la carte programming. No more basic bundle. They get a subscriber fee whether you watch them or not.

Use your savings to support conservative media.

The media needs more competition. Help to create opportunities for more competition.

For me, it has been about 22 years. Stopped watching TV in 1994.

It tremendously improved my life and my ability to understand what was happening in the world.

Amazing how things look different when you reject the 24/7 propaganda.

[Bookwoman]

I find the MSM to be insulting. I would watch almost anything but that. I do like Hannity though.

[FenwickBabbitt]

“Angry” and “dissatisfied” doesn’t come close to describing my feelings for these dishonest, immoral, anti-American, unethical bastards currently subverting the journalistic profession.
