Poll: Public overwhelmingly thinks media is in the tank for Clinton

The American public thinks the media wants Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton

to win by an almost 10-to-1 margin, according to a new poll.

The Suffolk University/USA Today poll released Friday asks, "Who do you think the media, including major newspapers and TV stations, would like to see elected president: Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump

?"

Of the 1,000 adults surveyed, 75.9 percent answered Clinton, while just 7.9 percent picked Trump, the Republican nominee. Just more than 16 percent of respondents chose either "neither" or "undecided."

The Suffolk University/USA Today poll comes on the heels of an Associated Press/GkF poll last week showing that 56 percent of likely voters, including 87 percent of his supporters, believe the media is biased against Trump.

In that poll, 51 percent of Clinton supporters said the media is biased in her favor, while just 8 percent said it's biased against her.

This is the reason the press has lost most of its influence..They can’t understand why people still like Trump after they go on 3 day rampages against him by misquoting him and blowing things out of proportion.. It seems the less the media is listened to, the more desperate they become and the more they distort things and the more they lose credibility, especially now when people can get their news unfiltered on the internet.

The public is correct that the media is "in the tank for Clinton." But the rabbit hole goes much deeper than that. The media is owned and operated by the ruling elite, and serves the interests of the ruling class. Its purpose is propaganda to convince people that their rulers are wise and benevolent, and that they should surrender their freedom in exchange for justice and security provided by a monopoly.

Even McDonald’s ‘burger flippers’ are smart enough to know you don’t give the finger to half the American people and expect to stay in business.

Only ‘the press’ is stupid enough to think bias is a good business practice.

The public overwhelmingly thinks the Ministry of Propaganda is in the tank for Hillary because the Ministry of Propaganda IS overwhelmingly in the tank for Hillary.

This means that 24.1 percent are totally clueless, and are the core constituency of the democrats.

Horrifically inaccurate title.

The title should read:

Public overwhelmingly KNOWS media is in the tank for Clinton

It is an undeniable fact. We don’t think or believe this. We KNOW it to be true. Incontrovertibly true.

Well flicking through the channels this morning, and seeing CNN, that Alyson Camerota or how ever you spell it and the dope Cuomo then they still don;t understand how bias they are.
They are trying to link Trump to Russia, bringing up sex scandals, and tax returns.
Now they seriously are a massive joke, and I ma not sure if I should be embarrassed for them, or pity how pathetic they are.
