Funny thing about polls …

http://www.gallup.com/poll/207794/six-partisan-bias-news-media.aspx?g_source=Politics&g_medium=newsfeed&g_campaign=tiles

Now, everyone knows I’m not really a “poll” believer as all algorithms have differing margins of error regardless of what anyone says but this poll kinda makes this thread a minority when it comes to belief in media and confirmation bias.

If the numbers are to be believed, of course.

😉

That poll isn’t about the media being biased. It’s about people believing the media is biased. Two very different things. More and more people people have thoughts like “I’m not really a “poll” believer”, “If the numbers are to be believed” and “belief in media and confirmation bias”.

The media is biased. More and more people are actually starting to realize how real that fact is.

I never thought this was a point of contention. Am I seriously supposed to believe that CNN doesn’t throw a liberal spin on every issue? Or that Fox News (worse than CNN) doesn’t do the exact same thing for the agenda of the right?

Media is inherently going to be biased but what matters is that they try to tell the full story and tell it as accurately as possible.
