Two New Polls Show Deepening Distrust of Trump-Trashing Press Corps

Two new polls demonstrate an ongoing, deepening distrust of the so-called “objective” news media, especially among Republicans.

A new Rasmussen Reports poll published on Thursday found 76 percent of Republicans and 51 percent of voters not affiliated with either major political party believe most reporters are biased against the president, a view shared by only 24 percent of Democrats. Sixty-eight percent of GOP voters and a plurality (45 percent) of unaffiliateds think the media coverage of Trump is poor, but 49 percent of Democrats rate it as good or excellent.”

The skepticism is growing deeper: “Fifty percent think most reporters are biased against the president, up two points from January. Just four percent think most reporters are biased in Trump's favor, a 12-point drop from the previous survey.”

Big media is evil. They prove it daily.

Best thing one can do with those corrupt liars is cut the effing cable.

I would venture to guess, that 99.9% of freepers, saw through the dip wads in the media, decades ago. Glad to see that others are finally catching on.

The press has become more and more obvious in their dislike of President Trump.

‘bout time for some payback.

Without Trump’s tweets, Republicans overall would be much more trusting of the media. Thankfully Trump knows that and has no intention of stopping his tweets (despite the best efforts of the media).

Most evenings I tune into ABC's David Muir & NBC's Lester Holt. In my time zone they follow one another ...
Night after night, week after week, their programs lead with five to eight minutes of Trump bashing, occasionally something like the Manchester bombing interrupts their lead story Trump bashing ... but not often.
The only reason I bother to watch these highly liberal biased so called 'news' programs, is to see what outrageous BS fake liberal news drivel they are foisting on America that evening.

Rasmussen reports. Wasn;t this the group that said we were suppose to see a Democrat elected in a vacated Congressional seat. It really is hard for them to see clearly, and even more difficult to report without bias.

MSM shouldn’t worry about this.

Besides, it was prolly the same polling outfits that predicted a Hildabeast win last year.

....More and more people are seeing through the fake news....

The press is oblivious to the great contribution they made the the President’s historic win.
Nor, can they comprehend what they Contributed to the Republican winners of the 4 special elections. Hats off to biased, fake, lying news.

I wonder if the Rats are just lying or if it is true that only 24% can see how bad the bias is. The other thing is only 76% of “Republicans” see it. I just have trouble believing these numbers.

You can save yourself some time and aggravation by just going to YT and catching the relevant 2”-4”-5” clips.

It took a President Donald J. Trump 36 years to arrive at the scene to tell us exactly that the far left liberal crowd is a bunch of "Fake News."

Actually, it began with the late "Fake News" reporter "Walter Cronkite" of CBS News who lost us the Vietnam War.

I hope he rots in Hell!!!
