Is it any wonder no one trusts the media?

It is no surprise that the media leans far more left than most of the population of the United States. When interviewed by researchers from Arizona State and Texas A&M Universities about their political leanings last year, more than 58 percent of financial journalists employed by such respected media outlets as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and Washington Post identified as somewhat liberal or very liberal. So is it any wonder they’re not even trying for objectivity any longer?

The researchers found that “financial journalists with liberal political views outnumber those with conservative political views by more than 13-to-1.” If these are financial journalists – reporters that are supposed to deal in economic facts and objective analysis – and most of them are liberal, can you imagine what the rest of the media community looks like?

Enter this goober, who wants us to believe that the reason the release of the redesigned Harriet Tubman $20 bill that was announced in 2016 by Obama’s Treasury Secretary Jack Lew was supposedly being “slow walked” by the current Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is because – of course – Donald Trump is racist....

Meanwhile, NBC News has embarrassed itself by publishing this ridiculous opinion column based on nothing but racist griping by an obviously biased author....

At the very least every media outlet should demand that opinion pieces be based in some kind of fact, but it’s apparently more important to NBC News to publish a story pointing out once again how evil and racist Trump is without doing its due diligence and checking the facts.

Is it any wonder that no one trusts the news media any more?
