The news media is to blame for dividing America, according to a new poll.
A Hill-HarrisX poll released Friday found that 75 percent of those polled believe how the media report the news further divides America politically, according to The Hill.
HarrisX polled 1,001 registered voters across the country and reported a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
The poll found only seven percent of respondents said the media’s reporting has made the country less divided, while 17 percent said the media had no impact on the nation’s political division.
Majorities across the political spectrum were united in pointing the finger at the media for exacerbating divisions. The poll found that 84 percent of Republicans, 74 percent of Democrats and 69 percent of independents believe the media is an agent of division.
he poll was taken on Jan. 13 and 14, a time at which the media was often found blaming President Donald Trump for Iran’s downing of a Ukrainian jetliner, which killed all 176 people aboard, and attacking him for the drone strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
The media are controlled by globalists who want to rot this country from within.
Divide and conquer.
This country is the last barrier in the way of the New World Order.
They just might be succeeding in their plot.
This is why Streicher was the only Nuremberg defendant to be hanged who held no formal position in the Nazi government.
Well Duh!
The left cannot coexist, doesn’t matter how many bumper stickers they buy to feel better.
I quit watching mainstream news several years ago.
I was at somebody’s home on Saturday evening where they had the 11PM local news on.
It was a non-stop Trump Bashing spectacle.
Then Saturday Night Live came on. It was the SAME THING!
A non-stop Trump Bashing spectacle.
They are certainly responsible.
The media as it’s called kid only get to you so much as you let them this is a free country and you are free to participate in whatever manner that you want
Hi for example only go to free Republic and listen to talk radio and therefore the evil scum on TV don’t even get a chance to piss me off

In other news today, scientists determine water really is wet.
Streicher was a beast.
Yeah, fake newsers are definitely a part of the treason. The entire demoRAT party, however, is the crime family most to blame. Because of the RATS, all other divisive forces (antifa fags, black lives don’t matter, etc) are able to exist.
It’s why the Left will suffer its worse ever defeats at the polls this fall.
They no longer hide who they are and what they stand for.
yes
I’m sure Democrats point the finger at fox news.
But it illustrates the problem here. I point out a fact from Daily Caller or Fox News and the left will discount it.
I do the same when a liberal cites Huffington Post, or Vox, or MSNBC.
So both sides do not trust any elements of the media, which puts us in a precarious place of doubting everything.
And the majority is 100% correct. Good thing for the Partisan Media Shills they're protected by the media's equivalent of Demwit superdelegates and the electoral college system.
I hate how the TV media are coached to all use the same gestures and expressions. Authoratative nodding ( as if they are wise sages, when in fact they are dumb as rocks), furrowed browing ( look concerned), empathetic gazing ( feel your pain), modulated voicing ( appear in control) etc etc
authoritative. Just to show I can spell. Unlike some journalists
Journalist is a nuanced way of propagandist.
Reporters are like scouts going out and bringing back solid facts for us to make sense of.
The 24% (17% who said no difference on the political differences and 7% who said less divided) must be morons...
