Gallup News Service has just released a new poll that supports what we here say every day; the Media is perceived as left leaning. Yet, for a report on how the media leans left, titling their piece "Republicans Remain Deeply Distrustful of News Media" and subtitling it "Democrats much more positive," even Gallup's article seems to skew left. After all, when the poll results are reviewed it shows that both Republicans and independents are "distrustful of the media," not just Republicans. And that fact would tend to show that more people think that the media is leftist than don't.

Less than half the total polled have trust in the media? Imagine that! But, why did Gallup want to spin this story as focussed on Republicans who distrust the media?

More than twice as many Americans say the news media are too liberal (45%) rather than too conservative (18%).
