NEW YORK (AP) — It’s been true for some time that Republicans are generally more hostile to the news media than Democrats, but a study released Thursday found that’s much more the case for supporters of President Donald Trump.

The Pew Research Center study looks at viewpoints on the ethical standards of journalists and whether they act in the best interests of the public.

They aren’t journalists, they are propaganda tools of liberals and political elites.

Duh! Maybe if the so-called journalists stopped lying they would get respect.

I’m not holding my breath. Most of ‘em are activists; not journalists.

I love it when CNN turns off the light at President Trump’s rallies.

Pew researcher: “Let’s do a study on the hostility between the media and Trump supporters.”
Pew: “You must be new here.”

They have no idea....... They are lower to me than the very treasonous, seditious, hypocritical, lying, communist, socialist, mentally ill, thieving, villainous, scum of the earth politicians/elite that they protect and run cover for.

Hostility doesn’t even come close.......

I n my opinion, that headline just has it all bass ackwards. The media has disdain and ill will toward us, the voters who elected Donald John Trump POTUS over Horribly Rotten Clinton.

Put me down for 100% hostility towards the media.

Me too but my disgust with the media began in 1968 and has just deepened over time.

Well, imagine that. The overwhelmingly majority of news organizations show an extreme anti-conservative bias, yet seem surprised when conservatives call them out for their bias.

Agreed, FRiend.

And this is coming from a 25-plus year reporter and editor.

These RAT finks disgrace the profession I spent the best years of my life trying to pursue with accuracy, restraint, and honor.

There WERE journalists, once, just as there WERE American Democrats. Neither one can be trusted to follow the Constitution, or tell the truth.

Democrats like to claim atheism and climate change as their new faiths.

The problem with atheism is that, without the fear of punishment in the next life, there is no reason that they need to fear lying in this life.

Climate change is built on lies, so promising eternal destruction if we don't give them all of our wealth seems a little vague, and certainly nothing to base trust on...

I was hostile towards the Ministry of Propaganda long before Trump came along.

Two days before Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy in 2015, dozens of "journalists" and news anchors secretly met with her at the New York home of Joel Benenson, her chief campaign strategist.

The agenda for the dinner:

(1) Give reporters their first thoughts from team HRC in advance of the announcement
(2) Setting expectations for the announcement and launch period
(3) Framing the HRC message and framing the race
(4) Enjoy a Friday night drink together.

Just some of the attendees were:

ABC – Diane Sawyer
ABC – George Stephanoplous [sic]
Bloomberg – Mark Halperin
CBS – Norah O’Donnell
CNN – Gloria Borger
NBC – Savannah Gutherie [sic]
New Yorker – Ryan Liza [sic]
NYT – Amy Chozik [sic]
NYT – Gail Collins
NYT – Maggie Haberman

There were dozens more.

This meeting was never discussed by any of the journalists in question, but was revealed in the Wikileaks releases.

After the meeting, all those deputized members of Hillary's campaign team returned to their undercover roles as independent journalists and set to work operating as stealth campaign spokespersons to ensure her election.

And we're supposed to believe that it's Trump's fault nobody trusts these lying scumbuckets.
