A Pew Research Center poll found that 62% of Americans believe that social media companies have too much control over what news people see.
The poll comes in the midst of a massive campaign by social media companies to prevent anyone other than their own official censors from spreading news on social media. Not only are independent news sources being downranked, but also mainstream stories which report news that the companies do not believe the goyim should know about.
The poll also found that only 27% of the population views so-called “journalist harassment” – a journalistic term for criticizing the mainstream media – as a “very big problem.”
Of the seven issues asked about, about half of U.S. adults say that one-sided news (53%) and inaccurate news (51%) are very big problems when it comes to news on social media. https://t.co/trNsjrjl52 pic.twitter.com/4s1Ly1kuLY

Probably, about 27% of the population considers themselves to be journalists.
Compare that to 35% who believe censorship is a “very big problem.”
However, it is sad to see that only 24% view news organizations and personalities being banned as a “very big problem,” as that is one of the biggest problems.
Even so, 82% understood that social media companies preferentially choose who they allow to access the public mind.

Of course, these companies all admit that they do that, so the 16% who believe that they treat all organizations the same are not following the news at all, and have no idea what they are talking about.
Facebook for example brags that it has hard blocked “dailystormer.name,” to the point where you simply get an error message if you try to post a link to it.
People were more or less woke on the social media monopolies’ liberal bias.
NEW DATA: 48% of social media news consumers say the news posts they see there are generally liberal or very liberal; far fewer (14%) say news posts are generally conservative or very conservative. https://t.co/C8wYHO2UCY pic.twitter.com/C79dGZR0re

Even with all of this bad news coming from the way the social media sphere deals with news, an increasing number of Americans are getting their news from social media.

Needless to say, although Pew is a very respected institution, this particular poll did not get much play in the media at all.
I’d also suspect that stories about it are being downranked on social media (that isn’t a clever end-joke, I actually do assume they are actively suppressing stories abut this poll on all of the major social media outlets).
