Poll: 72% Blame Media for ‘Dividing Americans, Spreading Hate’

[GunsOfFrankEaton]

Seventy-two percent of Americans blame the media for dividing the country and spreading hate, according to the Washington Examiner.

“Nearly three-quarters of the country believes that the media is ‘dividing Americans’ along political, racial, and gender lines, a stunning condemnation of the press, according to a new national survey,” the outlet writes.

It's stunning the way the role of the press has changed in the last 15 years.

Info-tainment and biased commentary presented as reporting.

The mainstream media was the main water carrier in the orchestrated Brett Kavanaugh character assassination attempt.

To what other extremes is the mainstream media willing to go in assisting orchestrated attempts above and beyond the Kavanaugh hit?

 

[HighStickHarry]

They are soulless.

A poll by the Washington examiner lol....oh boy that’s a hoot haha

 

[CSCOTTOSUPOKES]

If you take a deeper look at the poll, it’s quite clearly divided along party lines...94% of Republicans said yes, compared to 51% of dems lol

Good read and address' why the media is who/what they are now. No longer deep thinking investigators painting everyone with the same brush, they now overwhelmingly vote and donate to liberal/dem candidates and let the requirement to be partial be run roughshod over the need to push their ideology.

“The media bubble is the ultimate symbol of what’s wrong with this country,” Bannon said. “It’s just a circle of people talking to themselves who have no ****ing idea what’s going on.”

If it were "clearly divided," then Dems would be a lot closer to 0% than the 51% you cite.

I guess we can throw out any aptitude you thought you had in mathssss.

>90 negative news, but it's not the media?

That makes no sense.

Clearly divided implies diametrically opposed, which the numbers are not. Diametrically opposed would be 6% Dem and 94% Rep. In that case, yes, a clear divide exists.

You're trying to sell that there's a clear divide even though over half of Dems think that that media drives hate.

Pretty damning for the media and your ability to speak about ideas with any nuance.

***still thinks 51 people versus 49 people saying something is the same as 94 people versus 6 people saying something, show utter incompetence once again***

How much of what’s negative is narrative and how much is just accurate reporting in your eyes?

I'll give this a like, because you present a position with a degree of efficacy.

But I'm taking the like back tomorrow because you insist on narrating instead of having a dialogue.

All the race, fascist, sexist shit is 100% fallacy, so what's that leave?

If you were grilling 72 sirloin steaks and 28 pieces of salmon at the same time, would the majority of what you were grilling be beef or fish?

This tells me most Democrats and most Republicans believe the media is at fault.

I’ll add this to the list of things I’ve learned from Ralphie.
It ranks up there with the job of the free press is to shout questions and statements at the president and talk over everyone else when they’ve been called to ask a question.
