Poll Shows Media Wildly Out-of-Touch with Priorities of Americans

[AceRothstein]

I only deal in facts and here are the FACTS about the MSM!

1,160 employees (85%) of the three major broadcast television networks, GAVE The Democratic total of $1,020,816 with an average contribution of $880.

By contrast, only 193 (15%) of the employees contributed to Republican candidates and campaign committees, for a total of $142,863.
The average Republican contribution was $744.

FACT!
The editor of NewsWeek Evan Thomas thinks said
Well, our job is to bash the president, that's what we do." --
Evan Thomas responding to a question on whether the media's unfair to Bush on the TV talk show Inside Washington,
February 2, 2007.Newsweek's Evan Thomas: 'Our Job Is To Bash the President' | NewsBusters

But when it comes to Obama the same "objective" journalist Editor Thomas said...

I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."

In Obama/Romney campaign.. According to Pew,
“42% of the character narrative” about Obama was positive on mainstream networks such as ABC, NBC, and CBS while 58% was negative.
BUT when it came to ROMNEY???
On the other hand, only 29 percent of the narrative on Governor Romney was positive while 71 percent was negative.

I know I'll have to explain that in simpler terms for you... THE MSM broadcast 71% negative stories about Romney versus less then 42% about Obama!
So idiots like you really believed the myths, the lies, the total fabrications the MSM put out about Romney and the MSM ignored to tell you that Obama who
proudly piously talks about being his brother's keeper.. the MSM CHOOSES not to tell us about his brother that lives in a $12 a year hut!

These are typical stories the MSM won't run!

CASE in point FACTS..
in 8 years of running stories about Obama why are there only About 30,800 Google results for "Obama's brother lives in a hut"
Yet in less then 6 months 6 MONTHS About 4,500,000 results for "Romney 47 percent"

YOU telling me the MSM is NOT biased??? 14,610% MORE results against Romney in less then 6 months then "Obama in 8 years!
BIASED NAWWW<<<<

Maybe more Republicans should go into broadcasting.

Also, tell me why more people should care about where Obama's brother lives. Tell me why people shouldn't care about Romney's 47% comments.

Well if you don't understand Obama 's LIED about his pious "brother's keeper" while keeping his brother in a $12 hut... I can understand because people like you are totally without compassion feelings etc. you are a Obamatron!

Do you know that Obama has never provided his brother with assistance? Or that Obama has offered and his offers have been rejected?

Teleprompters, birth certificates and the president’s brother rather than jobs and the economy – no wonder the GOP lost big last year.

Pew released a poll today that puts into stark contrast the widening gap between the elite media and the American people. When asked what their priorities were for Obama's second term, the American people overwhelmingly chose as their top three issues: strengthening the economy, job creation, and deficit reduction.

Way down at the bottom -- #17, #18, and #21 (out of 21) -- we find the media's priorities: guns, illegal immigration, and global warming.

And what a wild coincidence that the exact same divisive issues the media's focusing on to drive its coverage are the exact same divisive issues Obama's been using to distract from his jobless, shrinking economy.

There are too many untold stories to count about the state of the American economy today; an economy dragged down by the threat of ObamaCare, hyper-regulation, the uncertainty that comes from the president constantly demanding tax increases (as he did again last week), and the kind of chronic joblessness we haven't seen since WWII.

Poll Shows Media Wildly Out-of-Touch with Priorities of Average Americans

The ‘liberal media,’ gays, unions, illegals, voter ‘fraud’ and government ‘giveaways…’ conservatives try to place blame everywhere but where it belongs.

If the mainstream media was in touch with America, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Michael Savage and a host of other conservative radio hosts across America, and FOX News never would have been heard of or known.

If we had an objective media that was the 4th estate instead of the 5th column, a media that didn't care who was right or wrong, but what was right or wrong, and reported fact instead of opinion, did objective journalism regardless of political party...then the conservative radio and FOX News lefties hate so much would never have had careers.

Since when did the media stop talking about the economy, jobs and federal debt/deficit?

January 20th 2009 they started back up in January of 2012 and stopped again on January 20th 2013.

I guess you don't pay much attention to the media. They are the frequent subject of media coverage.

The OP has a point to a degree. There are much more important matters facing our nation than immigration and the environment right now.

Instead of blaming the media though; blame We the People. We get the government we deserve. If you don't like it; get involved.

It seems awfully strange when the Lame Stream Media continues to cover for all the President's Socialist foibles and near if not total criminal actions.
Had the Benghazi debacle occurred under the Bush administration where 4 Americans were killed, would the Media have buried the story as it has? would you of the Left been so complacent, willing to swallow the number of liesand further machinations about videos, or spontaneous riots.
Then there's the cover-up about who called off the rescue attempt. Why were a General and a Rear Admiral relieved of duty during the and while these people were under attack in Benghazi?
Now I may be a little long in the tooth but I do remember when the military always had ready planes hotboxed and loaded to fly interception 24/7. There's been a lot of bullcrap going around, and all you'd have to ask any one serving on an active AF base and they'll tell you that still goes on. Fighter planes are still parked at the end of Air Force bases ready to scramble. So that kinda gets blown out of the water. We did have assets we could use.
These guys were sold out. Was it because Morsi wanted captives to trade for the blind sheik? Was it in retaliation for sending arms to Syria?
There are more questions than answers, especially when someone begins shouting, "What does it matter?" It does matter.
What have the American people elected, Stalinist Marxists?
America and Americans deserve a transparent objective and informative Press not one that is subjective, biased, opaque and will to cover for this lying president.

"The Media" is in the business of making money.

Unfortunately, "The Media" gives us the news that we "want" (sexy stuff and divisive issues), rather than the news we "need" (economy).

It isn't a partisan thing, it's a money thing.

Really?
Oh, you mean like the New York Slimes on the way to bankruptcy, or Time magazine. While we're at it surely Daily Kos, Media Matters, New Republic, TPM, etc, make money, or are they funded by Soros groups?
Look at what the Media did with Benghazi during the election. Then buried the incident. To date Congress or the Senate have never questioned the survivors.
You know when Maobama spoke of transparency he only meant the transparency of the Bush administration and more secrecy about what Maobama and his minions do.

Yes.

An argument can easily be made that one of the reasons that the Times isn't doing so great anymore is that they're not sensationalist enough.

While we're at it surely Daily Kos, Media Matters, New Republic, TPM, etc, make money, or are they funded by Soros groups?

Daily Kos is a commercial site. So is New Republic, and Talking Points Memo. George Soros doesn't fund any of them.

MediaMatters is a non-profit, also not funded by Soros.

None of the are "News Media".

Look at what the Media did with Benghazi during the election. Then buried the incident.

It was on all the news channels, all the time. For weeks.

How was the story "buried"?

To date Congress or the Senate have never questioned the survivors.

What does that have to do with "The Media"?

You know when Maobama spoke of transparency he only meant the transparency of the Bush administration and more secrecy about what Maobama and his minions do.

You guys keep repeating that. So what?

Every President makes campaign promises they don't keep. You act like anyone actually expected Obama to follow through with his promises.
