The Unfavorable Press

 

Instapundit has a post up with some details about how people hate the press. It's funny, because I imagine CNN-hating Conservatives and FOX-hating liberals both saying broadcast media is biased:

More than half of Americans say US news organizations are politically biased, inaccurate, and don't care about the people they report on, a poll published Thursday showed.

And poll respondents who use the Internet as their main source of news -- roughly one quarter of all Americans -- were even harsher with their criticism, the poll conducted by the Pew Research Center said.

More than two-thirds of the Internet users said they felt that news organizations don't care about the people they report on; 59 percent said their reporting was inaccurate; and 64 percent they were politically biased.

More than half -- 53 percent -- of Internet users also faulted the news organizations for "failing to stand up for America".

Media outlets like the New York Times, expected to stand up for America? Ya, right. Allahpundit has some graphs and analysis on the same thing. Let's just say, Republicans don't trust anyone.
