Likely voters hold a dismal view of the news media, generally regarding reporters as biased, unethical and too close to the politicians they purport to cover, according to a new poll for The Hill.
A full 68 percent of voters consider the news media biased, the poll found. Most, 46 percent, believe the media generally favor Democrats, while 22 percent said they believe Republicans are favored, with 28 percent saying the media is reasonably balanced.
The share of voters who believe the media are too friendly with politicians is almost twice as large as those who find their coverage of politicians appropriate. Forty-four percent of voters assert the former; only 24 percent believe the latter.
The picture is not much brighter on the general question of ethics. Fifty-seven percent of voters think of the news media as either somewhat or very unethical, while only 39 percent see them as somewhat or very ethical.

46% rational 22% irrational 28% too busy smoking crack and cashing their welfare checks to really pay attention.
The Synagog runs the media in this country.
CNN= Communist New Network
CBS= Communist Broadcast System
MSNBC= My Socialist News Broadcast System
Half of the media is married to buraucrats, the other half is just sleeping with them to get an inside story.
