More than half of Americans say US news organizations are politically biased, inaccurate, and don’t care about the people they report on, a poll published Thursday showed.
And poll respondents who use the Internet as their main source of news — roughly one quarter of all Americans — were even harsher with their criticism, the poll conducted by the Pew Research Center said.
More than two-thirds of the Internet users said they felt that news organizations don’t care about the people they report on; 59 percent said their reporting was inaccurate; and 64 percent they were politically biased.

“It is also true that The New York Times is not a crusading newspaper. It is impressed with the responsibility of what it prints. It is conservative and independent, and so far as possible — consistent with honest journalism — attempts to aid and support those who are charged with the responsibility of government. There are many newspapers conducted along different lines, some of them vicious, ill-natured, and destructive of character and reputation, and for mere purposes of sensation they frequently terrorize well qualified and well meaning men to the point where they are discouraged from accepting invitations to give their ability, genius, and experience to the administration of public affairs.”
Those words were in a letter written in 1931 by Adolph Ochs, the publisher of The New York Times.
Can you imagine any publisher writing that today? Can you imagine a publisher who believes it’s his duty to “aid and support those who are charged with the responsibility of government”? That publisher would be labeled “unsophisticated,” blind to the “adversarial relationship,” indifferent to the need to “speak truth to power.” And, God knows, the man certainly doesn’t want to “make a difference.”
I was on The Times during the Vietnam War. I recall once going down to the newsroom, on the 3rd floor, to suggest a story on some problems at a military hospital. I was properly irate, as only someone with a fresh diploma could be. But Robert Alden, a legendary Times reporter, sat me down and quickly tempered my righteousness, recounting the history of military medicine, and the lives it had saved. He asked that I consider that background when suggesting my story. Can you imagine that today?
There have been many changes in journalism since World War II, but the most striking has come in the resumé of the journalist. Of course, there have always been college graduates in journalism. Even Ernie Pyle, the everyman reporter of World War II, had studied at Indiana. But what we’ve had in the last 50 years is a deluge of college graduates. They have brought some improvements. But they’ve also brought into journalism the culture, attitudes, and arrogance of the academic world.

A fabulous insight into modern journalism that most news consumers will identify with, and few media insiders will admit to.
