>Similarly, 62 percent of adults told us that journalism was “too political”
I don't understand what this even means.
Is it that people think that there is too much reporting on politics?
Does it mean that people think that journalism is too biased towards political ideologies?
Does it mean that people think every story is excessively told through a political lens?
Without knowing what these people mean by that it's a completely useless statistic to use.
- rvieira 6y agoI'm assuming it's journalism being biased towards certain political factions. I can't comment on other countries, but this is definitely true for the UK. If you look at the top 10 newspapers in terms of circulation (which, AFAIK, are also the biggest online news providers) there is little objective journalism there. It's plain political propaganda for the most of it.
- speeder 6y agoI am from Brazil, here mainstream journalism for most part support blatantly a few political parties and ideologies, and do their best to sabotage the others, including with blatant lies. I think people start believing journalism is "political", when it stops being "factual" for political reasons.
