Americans Say Media Are Too Leftist

A new Gallup Poll is bad news for the Los Angeles Times, New York Times and other lying liars of the leftist media establishment.

The news media are too "liberal," according to a whopping 45 percent of Americans surveyed. Only 14 percent said the media were too conservative.

People trust all three branches of government more than the media, Gallup reported today.

Keep in mind that the poll was conducted in early September, before the L.A. Times reached new lows in its puke politics.

The poll also found that about 4 in 10 Americans identified themselves as conservatives, about the same share called themselves moderates, and less than 20 percent admitted to being "liberals."

Journalism is a Marxist targeted field because Communists, Marxists and Socialists know that controlling the media is the second best road to power (revolution is first because it's quicker).

When's the last time you saw a conservative politician or christian portrayed favorably in the media?

This is proof that the media is liberal terrain.

Unfortunately among those who consider themselves centrist or moderate are the likes of Dan Rather and Peter Jennings. Since they believe they are in the middle, they consider true moderates to be right wing, and true conservatives to be extremists.

50% of so called moderates are nothing but lunatic libs playing the game of "being a Moderate" or afraid to tell people what they really are politically.
