A recent Pew poll found that almost sixty percent of Americans believe news organizations “don’t understand people like them” and nearly eighty percent believe the media are biased.
“Overall, 59 percent of Americans think news organizations do not understand people like them, while a minority—37 percent—say they do feel understood,” the Pew Research Center said in a note explaining the results of the survey, which was based on a random sample of 10,300 U.S. adults, with a margin of error of plus or minus 1.5 percentage points.
