USA Today: 44% Hate Trump, 50% Hate the Mainstream Media

[expat_panama]

from: L. Brent Bozell: The Media Hides Its Own Disapproval Rating


L. BRENT BOZELL And TIM GRAHAM 3/15/2017

The latest poll by USA Today and Suffolk University carried some eye-opening numbers about public disapproval of the media's aggressive attempts to run the country. It found that President Trump has a 47% approval rating and that 44% disapprove of him.

That's not surprising. The media talk about his unpopularity all the time.

But here's what they don't talk about: their own numbers. Only 37% of Americans have a favorable opinion of their job performance. A whopping 50% have an unfavorable opinion.

Look at the numbers by party identification. Republican unfavorable opinion of the media? It's 78%. Only 10% have a favorable opinion. The Democrats are the opposite: Sixty-nine percent hold a favorable view, and 19% hold an unfavorable view...

Well if 44% hate him then 55% must love him.

1% is usually indifferent and/or does not know.

 

[my2¢]

While the mainstream media is bad, I find the non-mainstream media worthless. As for Trump, include me in the 1% indifferent and/or does not know.

 

[Mac1958]

I sure hope that so many people don't "hate" anyone.

That's another word that's been diluted down to mean pretty much nothing.

It really is out of hand

It really is out of hand

What scares me, literally, is the possibility that so many really do hate, within the actual meaning of the word.

[Toro]

94% hate both Trump and the media

It's all the scare tactics in the media, both sides.

You'd think after the Hildabeast election disaster, liberals would shy away from quoting fake poll % numbers. ... ..

Brent Bozell is part of the hated media lol.

 

[The Original Tree]

The Dems always have been the party of hate and oppression. No one should expect them to leave their roots.

There was a time when media outlets valued their journalistic reputations. Sadly that time has passed. You've got organizations like The New York Times not "reporting" the news but doing their level best to "influence" the news. Stories aren't written about what happened...they are written about what editors and producers would LIKE to have happen! It's why the public doesn't believe what they read or see on the news and in papers anymore. The bias is so obvious that only the truly ignorant can't see it.

Don't be so hard on Foxnews.

Why not? They are biased just like all the rest.

Foxnews is not mainstream media. Your post was nothing but an expression of your denial.

Would you like to address the actual topic, ie the horrible numbers of the msm?

What you just did there was the Logical Fallacy of Appeal to Ridicule.

In other words you made fun of my point, but did nothing to actually address it.

YOur post is invalid, and you are a dishonest.

MY point stands.

1. Make the case that Foxnews is not part of the mainstream media

2. Show us where 'mainstream media' was EVER mentioned in the poll that is cited in the OP.

1. Fox news, by not being part of the braying lefty mob, is apart from the msm.

2. Your pretense that a poll about the "media" is not about the vast majority of the "media", ie the msm, is noted as evidence of your desperation and dishonesty.

lol, so you're using the logical fallacy of Begging the Question by declaring that Foxnews can't be part of the mainstream media because it's not biased to the left.

lol, that is GODDAM funny

Did you even READ the poll?
