The results were based on a survey of more than 8,000 people conducted by 28 media organizations in the U.S. Participation was voluntary but respondents tended to reside near the news outlets that made the questionnaire available on their websites, and leaned toward the liberal side of the political spectrum. The survey also showed that politically liberal respondents were more trusting than conservatives, while Caucasians were more likely than non-whites to have confidence in the media.

The Sample
#skewedpoll as usual.
The sample skews left, so the results aren’t surprising. It is interesting that the NY Times didn’t do better than it did with that sample.
The colored graph needed one more option, “All of them”.
I wonder how many votes that “option” would have received.
Given that The Economist is the deepest of Deep State mouthpieces and its authors are anonymous, I suspect that this poll comes from a source similar in nature and intent.
Very high ratings for PBS and NPR? Lol, tells you all you need to know about this poll.
Did they only ask people in NY,SF and Seattle? These results are bogus.
I tune in to NPR for comic relief. I’ve already read the stories on respectable news sources and am excited to hear their spin. Sometimes I actually laugh out loud as I drive home (I have a 90 minute commute).
It wasn’t so funny when the left had power.
95% of respondents don’t trust polls.
Rasmussen and Gallop had liberals at 20% and Conservatives at 40% for years with 40% undecided. Rasmussen after it was sold had liberals at 27% and conservatives at 38% with the rest undecided. I questioned the later Rasmussen but the ones with this poll evidently on drugs or something.
Lying bastards.
Gee...sort of weighted heavily to liberal. Who would have ever guessed that based upon the results? /sarc
