Can anyone still pretend the Media are not a wing of the Democrats?

Mass lies will do that.

Look at the vast  partisan gulf in the poll below which asked "how trustworthy do you rate the news media…". Can anyone look at this graph and argue that the media is not dominated by left-leaning views?  Fully 18 of 22 media outlets appeal to, and are trusted by around three times as many left leaning voters.

It's no surprise that the most polarized and divisive news source in America is CNN followed by The New York Times and Jeff Bezos' Washington Post. 

The least polarising of the mainstream news outlets is the Wall Street Journal. 

The only media outlet arguably that serves both political views is The Weather Channel, but even there half of Republicans and 40% of Democrats don't "trust" it. There is no common Town Square media left where both sides of the political spectrum can hear each others views.

How things have changed since the year 2000

Republicans were always less likely to trust the media than Democrats were, but in the last twenty years that trust has evaporated.

In New Zealand trust fell because people now see the media as an "extension of the government"
