Zogby Poll: Voters Believe Media Bias is Very Real
17 March 2007All perception is relative, I get it. But just what media are the people who report a “conservative bias on their TV sets and in their column inches” viewing? Got to wonder.
FoxNews after getting their numbers up have moved to the center and in IMHO the most truthful of all the casts. So just who are these people watching and reading?
This poll echos what most of us believe already, the media has little “street cred” and their finances are suffering for it.
Released: March 14, 2007 Zogby Poll: Voters Believe Media Bias is Very Real Institute for Politics, Democracy, and the Internet/Zogby Poll shows American voters are skeptical political motivation may be behind blogs run by mainstream news organizations
The vast majority of American voters believe media bias is alive and well – 83% of likely voters said the media is biased in one direction or another, while just 11% believe the media doesn’t take political sides, a recent IPDI/Zogby Interactive poll shows.
The Institute for Politics, Democracy, and the Internet is based at George Washington University in Washington D.C.
Nearly two-thirds of those online respondents who detected bias in the media (64%) said the media leans left, while slightly more than a quarter of respondents (28%) said they see a conservative bias on their TV sets and in their column inches. The survey, which focuses on perceptions of the “old” and “new” media, will be released today at the PoliticsOnline Conference 2007 at GWU. It is also featured in the March issue of Zogby’s Real America newsletter, now available on www.zogby.com.
