There are certain questions the fake news media doesn't want to be ask the American public. It's about time someone is asking them:

A new Fox News poll released Wednesday finds that an overwhelming 69 percent of Republican voters believe the news media poses a greater threat to the United States than white supremacists.

In comparison, just 18 percent of Republicans in the poll said that white supremacy was a greater problem.

In the same poll, 70 percent of all respondents said that President Trump hates the news media more than he hates white supremacists. That number includes 83 percent of Democrats and 53 percent of Republicans.

Participants were also polled on their view of Trump's response to violence in Charlottesville, Va., earlier this month. Trump initially blamed "many sides" for the violence that resulted in one death and dozens of injuries.

The responses were split among party lines, with 72 percent of Republicans approving of Trump's response to the violence, while 91 percent of Democrats disapproved.

Similar divisions exist over whether voters believe the president respects minorities: Eighty-two percent of Republicans said he does, while 92 percent of Democrats said he doesn't.

The poll also found less support for taking down Confederate monuments. Just fifty-three percent of Democrats said Confederate monuments should be taken down after the violence, while 87 percent of Republicans said they should stay up.

The Fox News poll was conducted by two polling firms, Democratic firm Anderson Robbins Research and Republican polling group Shaw & Company Research. It surveyed 1,006 registered voters on landline and cellphones from August 27-29, and carries a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.​

Obviously. Since white suprecasism is mostly in line with everyhing they believe in.

 

[washamericom]

they have certainly enabled/encouraged the leftist flame of terror and hate. but it's not many people.

in fact it's so few democrats, that the leftist media had to help them along with their pr.

it's like occupy wall street, when asked what are you protesting, what do you want ? they are dumbfounded.


if you took all the antifa radicals and placed them end to end in the sahara desert....
it would be a good idea.

Considering the world wide reach that Left biased media has, it isn't even a close comparison. White Supremacists have gone the way of the Buffalo and have no significant influence on anything.

 

[Rambunctious]

The media has decided to go to war with more than half of the nation.
They are a huge danger to our way of life. The worst part about the media is they are stupid, out of touch morons but they think they are the smartest on the planet.
Dumb and arrogant media reporting is a danger to us all. Turn it off for good.

 

[Rambunctious]

The media have been salivating to cover a race war for a very long time...mad dogs.

Just more whining from the snowflake trump cult. Everything gets blamed on conspiracies against trump. Even as his top officials at both the State Department and Defense Department distance themselves from his wacky ideas and dopey speeches and comments, they blame the media. Even as members of his staff quit and run away from him, they blame the media.

Never before in American history has the population had more access to varied and distinctly different news sources. Thanks to the internet and cable TV, Americans have access to almost unlimited view points and interpretations of news on a minute by minute basis.

Media entities are almost totally privately owned and operated. The owners are comprised of private investors. The whole point of freedom of speech as designed by the founders is that these individuals and entities have the constitutional right to present their viewpoints and ideas the way they want and see fit. Those that hold animosity about how they do it are opposing that constitutional right. Their problem is that the most popular and reliable news entities do not fall in line with their way of thinking and interpretations of the news as presented by those popular entities. Like the PINO Trump, when they don't like the news they holler "fake news" and scream about conspiracies. It's all about deflection and evasion of truth and facts.

The fact is that both parties are driven by hate. However the fact that only 72% of Republicans approve of Trump's handling of Charlottesville shows that there may be cracks in the dam. I suspect a couple of months ago he would have gotten 90%. However independents are abandoning Trump. Moderate Republicans and independents were the reason for Trump's winning states like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. If Biden had been the nominee, they likely would have voted for him and Biden would have beaten Trump.

Does anyone really believe that "White Supremacists" pose a threat to the United States? If so, how?

The main stream media, on the other hand, has violated the privileged status given to it by the First Amendment. As a result, people can no longer depend on the press to be anything more than a propaganda arm of a political party. Control of the media is the first priority of would-be dictators.

I agree. Fox News is a much greater threat than the Klan.

As usual, wrong.

Hmm anti-immigrant, anti-gay, pro-discrimination, anti-civil rights, pro-confederacy, anti-non-Christian religions... that's a lot of overlap

Unfortunately the personnel who infest these so-called "news sources" have all gone through the same brainwashing process. They've learned everything they know about politics, history and economics from a coterie of commie professors on the government payroll. By the time they're done they have become perfect little propaganda organs for the state. It doesn't matter who employs them.

Absolutely. Like anyplace in the world, we have people in our country with weak minds, and we have people with strong minds. The people with weak minds are easily brainwashed and the media takes full advantage of this.

The MSM is the strongest arm of the Democrat party, and they use that arm successfully in brainwashing people to believe just about anything. So of course the MSM is not only more dangerous than any radical group, they are the most dangerous in the entire country.

It reminds me of a line from that old movie Karate Kid. The kids who were beating him up took lessons from the only karate place in the town, and the teacher was very militant and combative. The boy looked at the old man and told him that the studio had bad students. The old man replied "There are no bad students--only bad teachers. Teacher say--student do."

The minority white supremacist are peacefully and legally marching to exercise their constitutional right of free speech and the freedom to assemble.

The liberal media is intentionally lying, manipulating, and misguiding the American people by pushing fake News, liberal propaganda, and violent rhetoric.

The American people can ignore the white supremacist by walking on by and by never hearing about them unless the media reports about them.

At the same time, the liberal media is bombarding the American people daily with these lies, liberal propaganda, and rhetoric. There is almost no escape from it.

Very encouraging. A victory of common sense.
