Poll of White House Press Corps Includes Grand Total of Three Republicans

[the_ad id=”90513″]

This is no surprise. What is surprising is that there are any Republicans there at all. This explains why will do anything to make Trump look bad. Anything. They are not a group of neutral observers, but a rabidly partisan gaggle of sinister propagandists.

“Politico Poll of White House Press Corps Includes Grand Total of Three Republicans,” by David Rutz, Washington Free Beacon, April 29, 2017:

Only three Republicans are represented in Politico Magazine‘s poll of the White House press corps asking their thoughts about covering President Trump’s administration.

According to the fourth annual poll, 63 press corps members were surveyed, and only five percent of them were registered Republicans, the same percentage that listed “other.” Sixteen percent were Democrats, 37 percent were independents, and 37 percent were non-registered.

Last year, none of the 72 members of the White House press corps it surveyed were Republicans, effectively showing an uptick of three members of the GOP in the poll.

Since the election, the mainstream press has received significant criticism, both from within and outside its ranks, for being too insular and liberal as it covered the 2016 presidential campaign and failed to see Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton coming.  The New York Times even posted a planning document about its desire for greater diversity in “outlook” in its newsroom.

The White House press respondents in 2017 said that on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being not at all disconnected from the rest of America and 10 being completely disconnected, they were a 6.

Forty-five percent said their coverage was biased against Trump, while two percent said they were biased in his favor, and 53 percent said they were not biased either way….

Agreed. The current issue of “National Enquirer” has a front page story about how badly we will kick North Korea’s ass instead of a bunch of the hand-wringing and second guessing as those other guys.

Those identifying as Republican may or may not be telling the truth in the same vein that those identifying as commiecrat may simply be trying to gloss over their actual alignment of being communist, fascist, anarchist, or any other undesirable element. Their charade shows through in their reportage, usually no later than the second paragraph. Trump, Inc. knew this going in. His rally in Harrisburg, PA last night instead of his being pilloried at the WH Correspondents Dinner last night was enjoyable. No TV coverage of that other function.

Is this supposed to be a surprise? All public funded universities have close to 100% liberal professors. I doubt if there are any tenured conservative professors at all. That’s where all these liberal news pukes come from; liberal universities with twisted liberal professors. They know no other point of view because they have never been exposed to fundamental conservatism. Wasn’t there a poll recently that showed liberals who voted for Hillary didn’t personally know any conservatives and had never met any evangelicals? Talk about being out of touch?

Actually, David Horowitz from the Freedom Center did a study on this. He discovered that 89 percent of college professors are liberal, and only 11 percent are conservative. Those are facts. Go on his website and check him out. He is great.

89%? Does that include Christian colleges? Do you have data on only “public funded” colleges?
