Sunday’s poll from Rasumussen is among the dog-bites-man category of news:
Just 17% of voters nationwide believe that most reporters try to offer unbiased coverage of election campaigns. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that four times as many—68%--believe most reporters try to help the candidate that they want to win.
The perception that reporters are advocates rather than observers is held by 82% of Republicans, 56% of Democrats, and 69% of voters not affiliated with either major party. The skepticism about reporters cuts across income, racial, gender, and age barriers.
The only people the press are fooling with the “objectivity” meme are the liberals who benefit from their slanted news articles, especially in this case Obama supporters.
