    "It is no secret that most in the media despise Donald Trump and
    coverage of the candidate reflects that. Talking Points is sure
    supporters of Hillary Clinton would acknowledge that, even if she
    herself gets pounded on occasion. That clear bias in hard news reporting
    is now reflected in a new Gallup Poll. Before I give you the shocking
    numbers, listen to this sound bite from one of CNN's best hard news
    reporters, Christiane Amanpour: 'Talk about a transparency breakdown!
    What about Donald Trump's tax returns? Where are they? Can't a girl have
    a sick day or two?' Ms. Amanpour has had a distinguished career as a fact-finding journalist, so why is she giving her pro-Hillary Clinton
    opinion? She's not an analyst. How can viewers now accept her
    information, especially about the campaign, without being skeptical?
    Americans know what's going on. According to that new Gallup Poll, just
    32% of us trust the news to be reported fairly and accurately. That is
    the lowest media trust number in Gallup's history on the subject.
    Editors of many press operations now believe they are on a mission to
    save the USA from a guy like Trump and the 'deplorables' who support
    him. Same thing on the Clinton side. A few, and I mean few, news
    concerns believe she is not honest and are out to get her. That kind of advocacy hurts the folks. This coming presidential vote is extremely
    important for the country and Americans deserve honest reportage. Sadly,
    we are not getting it."

    Media analyst Bernie Goldberg joined The Factor with his take on the
    subject. "Too many people on the left," he stressed, "think the media is
    not tough enough with Donald Trump, and too many people on the right
    think the media is unfair to Trump. That explains why only 32% of the
    American people and only 14% of Republicans have confidence and trust in
    the media." Goldberg theorized that many viewers actually want media
    outlets to root for their side. "America in general is polarized and the
    media landscape is polarized. People say they are against bias, but they
    are not. They are only against the kind of bias that hurts their
    candidate."
