寛大な媒体の証拠-人々はなぜ決定的な証拠を受け入れることができないか。
2004年5月25日 -- del.icio.usにこのポストを加えなさい源: 席の研究所
人々のための席の研究所におよび出版物全国各地からある「国民547の新しい調査がおよびローカルレポーター、生産者、編集者およびエグゼクティブ」。 それはジャーナリストが一般大衆よりはるかに寛大であること、予想通り見つける(席は後者を別に調査した)。 「価値および出版物」のセクションは国民のジャーナリストの7%だけが「保守主義者として彼ら自身を記述したこと」、公衆の33%と比較されて分る。 国民のジャーナリストの三十四%彼ら自身を「自由主義者」、と対呼んだ。 公衆のちょうど20%。 国民のジャーナリスト(54%)の大半は公衆の41%が間、彼ら自身を「適当」、呼んだ。
In some ways, though, journalists are even more liberal when compared with the general public than these numbers would indicate. Pew asked three specific questions to gauge journalists’ social views:
Is belief in God necessary to be moral?
Should homosexuality be accepted or discouraged by society?
What’s more important: that everyone be free to pursue his goals without government interference, or that the government guarantee no one is in need?
On the first two of these questions, the views of self-described moderate journalists were far to the left of the public’s:
―――――――――――――――-Public―Cons. journos―Mod. journos
Belief in God necessary――――――58%―――-26%――――–12%
Belief in God unnecessary―――――40%―――-72%――――–85%
Accept homosexuality―――――――51%―――-49%――――–84%
Discourage homosexuality――――–42%―――-40%――――–8%
Self-described liberal journalists were nearly unanimous on both questions, with only 3% saying belief in God is necessary to be moral and 2% saying homosexuality should be discouraged.
In addition, 55% of national journalists say they think the press is “not critical enough” of President Bush; only 24% of the public agrees. Thirty-four percent of the public thinks the press is “too critical,” vs. a mere 8% of the national press. Thirty-five percent of both groups characterize coverage of the president as “fair.”
Journalists were also asked, “Can you think of any news organizations that are especially liberal?” Among national journalists, 62% said they couldn’t. But 82% said they could think of an organization that is “especially conservative.”
Among both national and local journalists, 68% percent of self described conservatives answered “yes” to each question, while among self-described moderates, 70% could think of a conservative organization and just 40% could think of a liberal one. Among liberals the gap was even greater: 79% could think of a conservative organization and only 24% of a liberal one.
All this suggests that journalists not only are considerably more liberal than the general public but also wish their own coverage were more liberal than it is. No wonder public confidence in the press is suffering.
