Poll: Public overwhelmingly thinks media is in the tank for Clinton

The American public thinks the media wants Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton

to win by an almost 10-to-1 margin, according to a new poll.

The Suffolk University/USA Today poll released Friday asks, "Who do you think the media, including major newspapers and TV stations, would like to see elected president: Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump

?"

Of the 1,000 adults surveyed, 75.9 percent answered Clinton, while just 7.9 percent picked Trump, the Republican nominee. Just more than 16 percent of respondents chose either "neither" or "undecided."

The Suffolk University/USA Today poll comes on the heels of an Associated Press/GkF poll last week showing that 56 percent of likely voters, including 87 percent of his supporters, believe the media is biased against Trump.

In that poll, 51 percent of Clinton supporters said the media is biased in her favor, while just 8 percent said it's biased against her.

Maybe its because the media is overwhelmingly in the tank for Hillary. But the media would never figure that out.

Hopefully they are also smart enough to not vote for Hillary. That remains to be seen.

7.9 think the media is in the tank for Trump.

Where do they find these people?

Rush did his normal excellent job of playing back the MSMs reading the news today.

All saying virtually the same thing.

Wonder how that happens.

This just proves the media is right: Americans are stupid and racist.

That's actually pretty bad if you're the media and you're still trying to sell your objectivity and professionalism. Although these days they really don't feel they have to sell anyone, really, they just declare it and it's true. Pride goeth before the fall.

Lacking intellectual depth and understanding of the meaning of the Constitution's protections, including its First and Second Amendments, these so-called "press" members follow this Pied Piper of "progressivism" right into the bottomless pit tyranny and oppression.

Podesta's years-long battle (People for the American Way) to remove and eradicate America's faith-based foundations and replace with a counterfeit idea, is now being exposed for what it is. The picture is not pretty and, like all other such short-sighted historical efforts, will fail.

So-called "progressives" of both Parties in recent times, portray themselves as the "intellectual" elite, although they may be totally bereft of any real knowledge or understanding of the great ideas which were the seedbed of Ameria's successful 200-year experiment in liberty.

Today's so-called "progressives," like Hillary, with all of their domination of academia and Far Left politics, seem to fit into a category described in an essay by T.S. Eliot on Virgil:

"In our time, when men seem more than ever to confuse wisdom with knowledge and knowledge with information and to try to solve the problems of life in terms of engineering, there is coming into existence a new kind of provincialism which perhaps deserves a new name. It is a provincialism not of space but of time--one for which history is merely a chronicle of human devices which have served their turn and have been scrapped, one for which the world is the property solely of the living, a property in which the dead hold no share."(Bold added for emphasis)

Without intellectual anchoring in the enduring ideas which provided the philosophical foundation of America's Declaration of Independence and Constitution, their vain imaginations of superiority only expose their limited world view.

Yet, the America which rose from obscurity to greatness, from crude hoes and axes to putting a man on the moon, and from oppression by King George to a symbol of liberty for millions all over the world--that America provides shelter for them, even as they attempt to "change" her into something unimagined by the Founders, and ungrounded in Constitutional principles.

If they are allowed to succeed in their own little provincial experiment, their posterity never will know the "blessings of Liberty" proclaimed by the Preamble to America's Constitution.

The media are so into their own twisted , elitist circle, that they will never understand how bias they are, or how hated they are.

Actually, with the attacks Trump has made, along with public harassment and declining viewership, they might start to get the picture.
