The Media Bubble Is Real: Study Shows Massive Disconnect Between Journalists, Public

Joe Concha

The Hill, June 22, 2022

“At CNN, we don’t do opinion, we put the story out there and we try to stay in the middle of the road,” Don Lemon claimed on air recently. In a related story, 93% of CNN’s coverage of Trump’s first 100 days in office was negative, according to a Harvard study, and it somehow got worse from there.”

To say there’s a disconnect between many journalists and the public they serve is a gross understatement, according to a new in-depth survey by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. 

Per Pew, 65 percent of the nearly 12,000 journalists surveyed say the media do a solid job of “covering the most important stories of the day” and reporting news accurately. But a solid majority of the American public at large has the opposite view, with just 35 percent feeling the same way. That’s a 30-point perception gap.
