A new poll from Pew Research breaks down conservatism and leftism in the media – and comes up with a number of interesting results. As it turns out, leftists are far less tolerant that conservatives and implicitly trust government sources.



The poll itself is composed of 16 percent consistent leftists, 22 percent who identify as mostly leftists, 36 percent mixed, 17 percent mostly conservative, and 9 percent consistently conservative. The gap between left and right here – 38 percent to 26 percent – is not justified by party registration in the United States, for which the latest Gallup polls show a 30-26 Democratic advantage.

Rush, did you take a look at the actual poll data and analysis by Pew or simply rely on Brietbart's interpretation of it?

I'm curious because once again, it seems as if you've fallen victim of a bit of Breitbart bizarro-world interpretation and brainwashing.

Here's the actual report;
http://www.journalism.org/2014/10/21/political-polarization-media-habits/

The most damning statistic revolves around one and only news source the vast majority of far right conservatives get their new from; Fox News. Fox News has been consistently proven to be one of the worst news sources and their viewers are over-all the least informed in any sort of "balanced" way.

The most that I could get out of it was, that those who identify as being from the left, have more sources of information than those claiming to be from the right.

Your continual citing of Breitbart seems to be very much inline with this study.

I guess It must have been a very slow day on info wars.

I would argue that regular Fox News viewers are damn near Rhodes Scholars compared to those that routinely watch/read Alex jones and Breitbart.

Wow.
75% of your affiliation distrust the Rush Limbaugh Show.
How un-American!!!
He's the Burning Bush of all things republican and sheds light on all the evils of you left wing radicals.
Just ask him. :D

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

It is a fun one.

Since as usual it really says something different from what you and breitbart think it says.

Now you will either never respond, or will post some garbled one liner with some emoticons at the end.

Actually I did
And of course it is all in the interpretaiton of the data now isint it

such as your bizarro world comment (which of course ties right in :D)

And your fox news comment
That is very telling too

In a big way, you just confirmed Brietbarts veiw of the survey

Oh
and I look forward to your proof regarding your fox news comments
I am very sure that this proof will come from a very unbiased source:o

Thanks Paul
Good start to my day:)

An excellent start indeed. You're at least ten feet down, and you show no signs of stopping. You are an inspiration to hole diggers everywhere.



Thank you
Thank you

This thread was inspired by your pre-emptive strike regarding polls (and me) in another thread

This one just seemed appropriate given those circumstances :)
