Are all of them self funded or does the government keep some afloat in the interest of the first amendment?

It's a shame one has to watch several agencies to get both sides of a story.
Watch the liberal side, 95% of tv today, and they are going down the road against Trump with no evidence to back it up.

Watch Fox, and they have people on air showing evidence of corruption and this is the only place to see it.

Trump is correct in calling out the liberal media, more than he is.

Just today, there is evidence that some FBI agents in question have "lost" 5 months worth of e-mails. Just so happens these FBI agents are the ones throwing the smoke-screen that Trump has Russian ties.

NO,No,No respect for liberals left in this body.
If the Republicans allow this to slide, they lost all respect also. Only reason they would is because they do it also.

It's no secret they make money by NOT fixing things, if they fixed something, the moeny would dry up, but this is over the top when one party uses our gov't spying agencies against the opposing party.

Also depends on whether the households polled are in Southern Californicate or rural Nebraska.

Here's something to think about........

This sheds a light on the up-hill battle Trump has.......

Over 90% of Washington D.C. voted for Clinton, and 4.1 voted for Trump.

Think about that for a minute. How deep is the swamp down there?


As for Hunting, Trapping and Gun Laws in our favor.....We can forget that, in this environnment we have a better chance of getting smart.

The3 best we can hope for is the Republicans keep the liberals at bay. I've seen no clues that the republicans are gonna push to relax laws in this area, other than the universal carry law which may bring rules in the other direction.

Until career Congress members can be forced out, things aren't likely to change on their own. Both parties need replaced.

I don't know where they get these poll numbers from that they show on the tv. I have never gotten a call asking how I feel or what my thoughts are on a topic or a situation.

How many of you have gotten such a call in the last year or so? I don't believe most of the poll numbers as usual. I would love for some liberal pollster to call me and speak with me about something. I am sure they would most likely remove me from the next polling calls list.

Didn't Moses have a tablet suggesting the integrity of the media was unimpeachable? They'd have us believe that was the case.

You guys do realize this is the result of an opinion poll and has nothing to do with if the economy is really doing good or bad . Calling every thing "fake news " unless it is something on fox news is a slippery slope to start down .

Wow, I don't know what is worse, seeing the news isn't completely honest or seeing 60% are sitting on their (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) letting opportunities go by.

It's no surprise that so many think the economy is bad. Some people are blind to anything that doesn't fit what they THINK they should believe.
For crying out loud, there are some who try to make the claim that the economy was worse when Obama left office than when he was elected, even though it improved at an average of over 12% for each of the eight years he was in office.Trump's first year was even better.

Nobody is so blind as those who refuse to allow themselves to see. tired

The market is doing great. The reason: the market apparently likes a non-functioning executive branch and, admittedly, tax reform that any republican president would have achieved. I'll take the gains and tax cuts. The health of the economy is however more subjective and a more long term measurement.

As for news, watch the business news. It is much less biased than CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc. And please, do not get your news from YouTube and Facebook. Those sources only feed you what you want to see and hear.

And when you watch some of the cnbc and other financial shows, you often see who the people are that really run the country.

The market likes security that no new regulations are going to shoved up the rear of manufacturers. People don't spend scared money. I know some of you hate that people that don't have to spend have that kind of power.

When someone is in charged pushing for an agenda that is going to reduce potential disposable cash people cling to it and slow the economy. Just the opposite frees up that urge and yes, it benefits all. Not like robbing them and giving it away but it helps everyone.

And this is exactly how they get the poll numbers. They cherry pick the respondents to get the replies to show the results they want.

I could poll several hundred people and show that an overwhelming majority of people support trapping... Of course the fact that my respondents were all T-man members wouldn't be mentioned.

News agencies should stick to who, what, when, where & why... Not social engineering.
