According to a new Rasmussen Reports survey, "66% of U.S. voters describe themselves as at least
somewhat angry at the media, including 33% who are Very Angry . . . 31% say they are not angry at the
media, but that includes just nine percent (9%) who say they are not at all
angry. It's important to note, however, that the question did not in any way
define media or differentiate between media outlets such as CNN and Fox
News."

A recent suggests that Americans, by a wide margin, believe the media pays too much attention to the President's personal life. 60% believe there is too much media coverage of his personal life and family: "Just 6% of adults say there is not enough coverage of the
president’s private life and family, and 28% think the coverage is
about right. 66% of men say there is too much
coverage of the Obama family, compared to 55% of women. Married adults
by 13 points over unmarrieds agree. Perhaps not surprisingly, 75% of Republicans – along with
63% of adults not affiliated with either major political party – think
the media over-covers the president’s personal life and family.
Democrats, on the other hand, are evenly divided between thinking there
is too much coverage and about the right amount."
