Almost every year from, Gallup has polled American adults on the question: 'Now thinking for a moment about the news media: In general, do you think the news media is too liberal, just about right, or too conservative.' Each year, the number of Americans saying the media are too liberal has outnumbered those seeing a pro-conservative bias by about a three-to-one margin. Gallup also found that while a large majority of Democrats said they had trust and confidence in the media, a similarly large percentage of Republicans expressed little or no trust in the media. KEY FINDINGS:. In September 2013, three times as many Americans said that the media are too liberal (46%) than said the media are too conservative (13%). Since 2001, the percentage saying the media are too liberal has ranged from 44 percent to 48 percent; the percentage seeing the media as too conservative has never exceeded 19 percent.
Gallup in 2013: 'Perceptions of a liberal bias are particularly strong among Republicans and conservatives, with 74% and 73% saying the media are too liberal. However, half of all independents also call it too liberal, while most Democrats call it 'just about right.'
'. In 2013, just one-third of Republicans (33%) told Gallup they had a great deal or fair amount of trust and confidence in the media, while the majority of Democrats (60%) said they trusted the media. Only 37% of self-described independents said they trusted the press. Gallup's in 2013: 'Although up from the all-time low found last year, Americans' confidence in mass media remains lower than it was in the late 1990s and early 2000s.' Previous: Next.

These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. The accounts of those in the political center will have networks that look similar, while the more liberal accounts will have progressively less in common with the more conservative ones.
