A large majority (69 percent) of <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/libs-of-tik-tok-exposes-taylor-lorenz-harassing-her-family-at-home\">left-leaning US journalists<\/a> say that &#8220;every side does not always deserve equal coverage.&#8221; By contrast, just 42 percent of journalists with a right-leaning audience say that equal coverage is not always deserved.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">Age was also a factor in the study, with 63 percent of younger journalists aged <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/64-percent-of-democrats-do-not-want-biden-to-run-for-re-election-in-2024\">18 to 29,<\/a> who disproportionately report to left-wing audiences, being most likely to admit biased coverage of the issues. Similarly, 60 percent of those aged 30-49 do not support equal coverage of alternative viewpoints. Journalists 50 and older, however, are evenly split between the two viewpoints.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\"><\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">Another discovery from this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2022\/07\/13\/u-s-journalists-differ-from-the-public-in-their-views-of-bothsidesism-in-journalism\/ft_2022-07-13_bothsidesjournalism_01\/\">data<\/a> is that while 55 percent of US journalists across the political spectrum say that every side does <em>not<\/em> always deserve equal coverage in the news, only 22 percent of US adults share that sentiment. Three-quarters (76 percent) of US adults say journalists <em>should<\/em> always strive to give all sides equal coverage. This highlights the stark difference of the values and interests between everyday Americans and the journalistic class reporting on them.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">This may be a potential reason for the 84 percent of US adults who report having little or no trust in the information they get from news organizations being more likely than those who have a great deal of trust (66 percent) to say that journalists should always strive to give every side equal coverage.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">MSNBC&#8217;s Katy Tur acknowledges the public&#8217;s distrust of the media in an interview on &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/media\/3556093-exclusive-msnbcs-katy-tur-worried-by-trump-in-2024-an-anti-democracy-candidate\/\">A conversation with Katy Tur<\/a>,&#8221; where she discusses why she left journalism to write her memoir. &#8220;There was just a Gallup poll out today that shows that the trust in media, in newspapers and television, is hitting an all-time low.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">&#8220;People don\u2019t trust us,&#8221; she added, &#8220;they don\u2019t believe us and it makes me wonder if this job, as I\u2019m currently doing it, is effective, but if it\u2019s doing more harm than good.
