Longtime conservative complaints about the leftist media marching in lockstep with the left-wing Biden administration may finally be having an effect on how people view the news.
The conservative Media Research Center on Friday noted the findings of a new poll that shockingly showed half of Democrats agree that the national media simply parrot President Joe Biden’s talking points.

The survey, conducted last week by right-leaning Rasmussen Reports, found that 78% of Republicans believe it is “very” or “somewhat” likely that Biden is “dictating” the news to the media.
Among independents, 61% overall fell into that camp.
The news was among Democrats.
Rasmussen reported that 50% of Democrats think the media is simply serving up Biden’s rhetoric, and most of that group thought it was “very” likely occurring.

“Even the supporters of Biden’s talking points, Democrat voters, see that news coverage is being skewed in their favor, with half (50%) agreeing that media are mouthpieces for Biden,” the MRC continued.
“What’s more, a quarter of Democrat voters actually say that it’s ‘very likely’ Biden is dictating the news they receive.”
But as might be expected, Democrats don’t care about the honesty or integrity of the media because they are hearing what they want to hear.
The MRC reported that “Democrat voters don’t seem overly concerned that media are pushing political propaganda.”
