Nearly three quarters of Americans believe the news media reports with an intentional bias, according to a new survey.
The 2015 State of the First Amendment Survey, conducted by the First Amendment Center and USA Today, was released Friday. It shows that only 24 percent of American adults agree with the statement that "overall, the news media tries to report the news without bias," while 70 percent disagree.
When the question was asked last year, 41 percent agreed, a 17-point difference.

Other findings in the survey:
38 percent agree that business owners should be required to provide services to same-sex couples, a 14-point drop from 2013, when the question was first asked.
35 percent say the government "should be allowed to deny issuing license plates to a group who intends to display a Confederate flag on the plates," while 56 percent oppose the idea.

70 percent of Americans believe news media is intentionally biased ... and the other 30 percent are complete idiots!
The Sheep Look Up.
(I hope)
(Oh, and I KNOW the Book “The Sheep Look Up” can be construed as anti capitalist and anti American, but the title is great and fits this story.)
“Nearly three quarters of Americans believe the news media reports with an intentional bias, according to a new survey.”
Make that 100% and I would say they were getting close.
Biased? Or just outright LIARS who know
they lie, like NBC, CBS, PBS, CNN, ABC do
for their Islamic/alQaeda boss.
Shocking. The 30% must be brain-addled.
And 75% of them will still vote for whomever Katie Couric tells them to vote for...
Therefore they should embrace it and use their position for the betterment of society. Reporters, they say, should be like information guides pointing out the important items and what it all means.
It’s only been like that since Walter Commiekite was lying about the Vietnam war and got by with it.
The bias in the media is most evident in what they choose not to investigate or report.
Only because it is.
And bingo on the other 30%.
I believe this is a fact and not a belief that the MSM is biased and many of them should be executed for treason.
The Ministry of Propaganda has finally been exposed so that 70% can no longer ignore the fact that what they present is propaganda.
Spot on!
What lie by Cronkite are you referring to?
What lie by Cronkite are you referring to?
NPR is the propaganda wing for the DNC.
Worth repeating.
The bias in the media is most evident in what they choose not to investigate or report.
Exactly, like the many, many incidents of the knockout “game” and other incidents of black-on-white crime, because if they told the truth about black -on-white crime, the numbers would completely turn the narrative upside-down. The statistics regarding rape would be a game changer, because they can’t spin rape as a crime founded in poverty.
Only 70%?
Thirty percent are still clueless?
Amazing.
