what is it any wonder
with stories like at this work journalists are
basically giving the sign off on
quotes to campaigns and god knows who else
i guess a if you do it for campaigns and you have no ethical problem with it why
would you do it for all your reporting
it would maintain your access
isn't a surprise
that confidence in television news drops as well
americans competence in television news is in a note new low by one percentage
point
with twenty one percent of adults expressing a great deal quite a lot of
confidence in it
only twenty one percent
this marks a decline from twenty seven percent last year in from forty-six
percent went out start racking confidence
in television news in nineteen ninety three
that stunning
in twenty years
confidence has dropped by twenty points
twenty five points
the most interesting finding in this uh... latest poll
and these are of course just snapshots
but liberals
and moderates
la so much confidence in television news this year eleven ten points respectively
their views are now more akin to conservative views
and that marks a turnaround from the pattern since two thousand nine
and where liberals had expressed more confidence than conservatives
interesting thing is the decline since last year in confidence
ten percentage points
in television news among liberals did not coincide with a similar decline
among democrats
democrats this year are the most competent in television news media a
monkey subgroups
interestingly postgraduates who tend to be democrats are now talese confident
why is this of my guess is and this is complete
conjecture on my part
you watch something like
the to purported
liberal cable television networks
and for the most part all you get
is cheerleading
for president obama
no criticism
no discussion of
some of the greater systemic issues
and i have a feeling a lot of these postgraduates
they spent a lot of time online reading experts
so it's interesting
perhaps not that surprising
but it's definitely interesting to see that split between liberals and
democrats
and for you uh... conservatives i know this is going to uh...
explode your minds
because i know that you thought whole democrats
where liberals and or socialists
