“A recent study on the media was conducted by the Newseum Institute and USA Today. Not surprisingly, it found that three-quarters of Americans feel the news media are biased in reporting, and only 10 percent said the Presidential election coverage has been ``very accurate.'' Most Americans realize the liberal national media are trying to destroy Donald Trump and elect Hillary Clinton, but the media are paying a heavy price for their biased coverage--they are destroying their credibility in the process. The danger of a biased media goes beyond two individuals and an election. It is a threat to democracy, itself, when the voters can't get the facts. The media should not tell Americans what to think. They are smart enough to decide for themselves. As the study determined, you just can't believe what the liberal national media says. ____________________”
