A Quinnipiac poll released this week reveals that a majority of Republican voters believe the media is “the enemy of the people.” In a survey of 1,193 registered voters conducted between April 20 and April 24, 51 percent of Republicans said they saw the media as an enemy, while only 37 percent of Republicans said they thought that the media was “an important part of democracy.” Overall, 66 percent of American voters said media is an “important part of democracy,” while 22 percent said they consider it to be an “enemy of the people.”

I wish somebody would poll me, hehe.

Twenty-two percent of respondents went so far as to call the news media the “enemy of the people.”

37% of Republicans who think that the present day news media is an important part of democracy are idiots.
