55% Say Media Bias Bigger Problem Than Campaign Cash

The people are getting smarter. After the Edwards affair, and the media hiding the facts for months from the public, no clearer test of drive by media bias has ever been. Because John Edwards was a Democrat, that made all the difference in the world. Want proof? Do you remember the McCain love story front page on the New York Times? You do, you also know the story was a lie, and eventually the New York Times admitted it wasn't true. So why print the McCain false story, but not the true story about John Edwards? Rasmussen has some answers for you.

Voters overwhelmingly believe that politicians will “break the rules to help people who give them a lot of money,” but most say there’s a bigger problem in politics today—media bias.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 55% believe media bias is more of a problem than big campaign contributions. Thirty-six percent (36%) disagree and think that campaign cash is a bigger problem.

People believe media bias is a bigger problem even though 63% believe most politicians will break the rules to help campaign contributors. Just 14% believe most politicians would refrain from breaking the rules for a donor. Forty-four percent (44%) say that lobbyists and campaign contributors have too much influence on John McCain’s positions. Forty percent (40%) say the same about Barack Obama.

You here that John McCAin? The money problem is easily solved with full disclosure, on the Internet, say within 48 hours of recieving the contribution, and making all organizations who do political work for cash filing with the SEC. The Internet makes it easy to solve the money problem ... The people will solve the bias problem for themselvss.
