Why do Democrats trust the media so much, relative to Republicans?
- TheBlight 6y agoThe mainstream media is largely biased to the corporate Democrat view.
- protomyth 6y agoMore Democrats in media, so they have a greater confirmation bias. Truth is often determined by agreement with the statement versus facts of the statement. Also, refusal to cover items that shed poor light on your side is problematic to the belief of the others.
- MeinBlutIstBlau 6y agoWell, with Parler getting shutdown and Breitbart going defunct or whatever, it's pretty obvious that republicans feel they cant believe in what they want. And democrats think their often some sort of religious gatekeeper of truth.
- thu2111 6y agoThe big skew started when trump was elected (check historical polling data to see that). Basically the media abandoned the pretense of neutrality and turned into a full time informational army trying to take out Trump, which democrats responded to in massive numbers.
