Hours before the final presidential debate, Wednesday, a new poll confirms that Americans think journalists have heavily slanted their coverage in favor of Hillary Clinton and against Donald Trump. According to a new Quinnipiac survey, 55 percent of people think reporters are biased against the businessman. This included “Republicans 88 – 8 percent and independent voters 61 – 37 percent.”
In a Politico article on the story, Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University poll, explained, “Donald Trump made the charge, and American likely voters agree: There IS a media bias against the GOP contender.”
According to a study by the Media Research Center, the vast majority of donations from employees at the three networks, the New York Times and the Washington Post went to Democrats, 115 donations Democrats and just 7 for Republicans.
Journalists at ABC, CBS and NBC have devoted 7 hours and 30 seconds to Trump’s sex scandals and just 1 hour and 10 minutes for WikiLeaks revelations.
