Proof of Liberal Media - why can’t people accept the overwhelming evidence?证明自由媒体-为什么不能市民接受，压倒性的证据吗？

The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press has a new survey of “547 national and local reporters, producers, editors, and executives across the country.” It finds, not surprisingly, that journalists are far more liberal than the general public (Pew surveyed the latter separately).皮尤研究中心，为人民和新闻界有一个新的统计调查结果显示， " 547国家和地方的记者，制片人，名编辑，名高管在全国推行"认定，而不是奇怪的是，记者远远更自由的，比一般市民（皮尤调查后另发） 。 The section on “Values and the Press” finds that only 7% of national journalists described themselves as “conservative,” compared with 33% of the public.一节"的价值观和新闻界的"认定，只有7 ％的全国新闻工作者形容自己是"保守"相比， 33 ％的市民。 Thirty-four percent of national journalists called themselves “liberal,” vs. just 20% of the public. 34 ％的国家新闻记者的人称自己是"自由" ，对仅有20 ％的市民。 A majority of national journalists (54%) called themselves “moderate,” while 41% of the public did.大多数国家新闻记者（ 54 ％ ）的人称自己是"温和" ，而41 ％的市民。

In some ways, though, journalists are even more liberal when compared with the general public than these numbers would indicate.在某些方面，尽管广大新闻工作者更自由的时候相比，与广大市民超过这些数字都显示。 Pew asked three specific questions to gauge journalists’ social views:皮尤问了三个具体问题，以衡量新闻工作者的社会观点：

Is belief in God necessary to be moral?是信仰上帝，要以道德吗？

Should homosexuality be accepted or discouraged by society?应该同性恋被接受或气馁，由社会吗？

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?什么是更重要的是：每个人都可以自由追求他的目标没有政府的干预，或者说，政府保证没有人需要的人呢？
On the first two of these questions, the views of self-described moderate journalists were far to the left of the public’s:就前两项这些问题，记者的意见，自我形容温和记者被远远向左边的市民：

———————————————-Public—Cons. ----------------公共意见。 journos—Mod. journos -按付款当日价格计算。 journos
Belief in God necessary——————58%———-26%————–12%信仰上帝必要------ 58 %---- 26 %----- 12 ％
Belief in God unnecessary—————40%———-72%————–85%信仰上帝不必要----- 40 %---- 72 %----- 85 ％
Accept homosexuality———————51%———-49%————–84%接受同性恋------ 51 %---- 49 %----- 84 ％
Discourage homosexuality————–42%———-40%————–8%劝阻同性恋----- 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.自我描述自由记者们几乎一致就这两个问题，只有百分之三表示信仰上帝，要以道德和2 ％的人说同性恋行为，应加以劝阻。

In addition, 55% of national journalists say they think the press is “not critical enough” of President Bush; only 24% of the public agrees.此外， 55 ％的全国新闻记者说，他们认为是"没有批评不够"的美国总统布什，只有24 ％的市民表示赞同。 Thirty-four percent of the public thinks the press is “too critical,” vs. a mere 8% of the national press. 34 ％的民众认为报纸是"太危险" ，去年同期仅为8 ％的全国新闻。 Thirty-five percent of both groups characterize coverage of the president as “fair.” 35 ％的两个群体特点的篇幅阐述了作为总统的"公平" 。

Journalists were also asked, “Can you think of any news organizations that are especially liberal?” Among national journalists, 62% said they couldn’t.记者们也问， "你能想到的任何新闻组织表示感谢，尤其是自由" ？各国记者， 62 ％的人表示不满意。 But 82% said they could think of an organization that is “especially conservative.”但82 ％的人说他们能够想到的一个组织就是"后，特别是保守主义者" 。

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.无论是国家和地方的新闻记者， 68 ％ ％自我形容保守派人士回答"是"每一个问题，而自我描述的温和派，有七成能够想到的是一个保守的组织和公正的40 ％ ，可以想出一个自由之一。 Among liberals the gap was even greater: 79% could think of a conservative organization and only 24% of a liberal one.自由派之间的差距甚至更大： 79 ％能够想到的是一个保守的组织，只有24 ％的一个自由之一。

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.这一切都表明，新闻工作者不仅是相当多的自由比一般市民，但也希望自己的报道更宽松得多。 No wonder public confidence in the press is suffering.怪不得公众信心，在新闻界是痛苦。
