If true, I find this troubling.

PBS(left leaning)

There are many ways to lead a question on a poll to get a desired result.  I call BS on this one.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Well, I guess Trump will have to  launch that tv news station talked about during the campaign. 

Every media outlet has some kind of bias.  So I guess every news outlet will have to be shut down.  SIGH!

Really, people, we do have this little thing called freedom of the press.  Do you really want that freedom to go away?

Very easy solution:  If you don't like a particular news outlet, don't read, listen to or watch it.

I tend to agree.  While there's a certain pct. of nitwits on both sides of the political spectrum, until I check out the particulars of a poll like this, I'm skeptical.
