US public sees news media as biased, inaccurate, uncaring: poll

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".

Should anybody really be surprised about this?

Not really. I think it's only human to pick a side...

So, more felt that the media was politicaly biased than thought it was innacurate. How does that work? Presumably some felt the media was accurate and biased?

Being biased does not automatically mean what is being reported is inaccurate.

It implies that all points are not being considered, does it not? Perhaps some felt that the bias was in their favour

Could be yes.

all of these national polls are so inaccurate. it's not like EVERYONE in the whole entire country has voted, is it?..no...

so that means the one's who did vote are the very critical..
