A poll conducted by the Media Insight Project, a joint project of the American Press Institute and the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, finds the American media’s popularity way down with that of Washington politicians. With 2,014 adults surveyed, only 6% expressed “a lot of confidence” in the press.
What’s ironic is that the more that is reported on Politics by the so called media, the more the true colors of each media group exposes itself as “cheerleader” and not a “watchdog”.

I’m not sure what “accuracy” is in this context, to me, replace that word with “truth” would be more like it. Accuracy is more about calculations or statistics, or standards. The media has no more standards.
This is correct though, from Investors that reported on the poll:
Had it been a Republican president who did a total 180 in his pledge that “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor; if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan,” the establishment media would still be pouncing all over him, instead of in Obama’s case letting the story coast into obscurity in a matter of weeks.
If you can call it like it is, a LIE, then we can respect you.
