Only three Republicans are represented in Politico Magazine‘s poll of the White House press corps asking their thoughts about covering President Trump's administration.
According to the fourth annual poll, 63 press corps members were surveyed, and only five percent of them were registered Republicans, the same percentage that listed "other." Sixteen percent were Democrats, 37 percent were independents, and 37 percent were non-registered.
Last year, none of the 72 members of the White House press corps it surveyed were Republicans, effectively showing an uptick of three members of the GOP in the poll.
Since the election, the mainstream press has received significant criticism, both from within and outside its ranks, for being too insular and liberal as it covered the 2016 presidential campaign and failed to see Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton coming. The New York Times even posted a planning document about its desire for greater diversity in "outlook" in its newsroom.
The White House press respondents in 2017 said that on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being not at all disconnected from the rest of America and 10 being completely disconnected, they were a 6.

Probably Bush Republicans.
Nobody is likely, to be a Trump supporter, from the media.
Not one.
Our media is TERRIBLY biased. It is ridiculous.
Beyond biased. They’re openly anti-American and do not recognize President Trump as being legitimately elected.
Sounds Bipartisan to me./s
More than you would expect.
Our local tv stations and rags are 100 percent anti Trump. Not a single neutral or positive story.
Same with my local newspaper.
Of course, the 37% that are Independent are Socialists, a la Bernie Sanders, farther Left than Nancy Pelosi &Charles Schumer, so they certainly are hostile to Pres. Trump.
Leftist every one.
“Last year, none of the 72 members of the White House press corps it surveyed were Republican”
So then they says to them, they says “Hey, some of yute guys need to register Republican so we can appear slightly less biaseed.”
