No, in fact there are whole cable networks just FULL of conservatives. Perhaps you've heard of "Fox News" or "One America"?
11. Do you believe the media dislikes Americans of faith?
Yes
No
No opinion
Other, please specify:
Not nearly as much as "Americans of faith" dislike the media? Oh, btw, media is a plural noun, so this should actually read "Do you believe the media dislike Americans of faith." There, fixed it for you!

Yes
No
No opinion
Other, please specify:
13. Do you believe the media fails to report on Democrats scandals?
Yes
No
No opinion
Other, please specify:
Actually, they do a much better job of reporting on Democrats' non-scandals - tan suit, Michelle Obama's sleeveless dress, mustard on a hamburger, Benghaaaaazzziii and of course Her Emails!!!
14. Do you think the media has failed to accurately report on the extreme rhetoric of Democrat leaders over the past month?
Yes
No
No opinion
Other, please specify:
Please define "extreme" - oh who am I kidding? Hahhahhahhahhahhahhah!!!!!
15. Do you believe the media sensationalizes and exaggerates stories in order to paint President Trump and conservatives in a bad light?
Yes
No
No opinion
Other, please specify:
No, the facts are more than enough to create that "bad light".

Yes
No
No opinion
Other, please specify:
No, you're doing a really good job of that yourselves.
17. Based on your answers above, do you believe that the Republican Party should spend more time and resources holding the mainstream media accountable?
Yes
No
No opinion
Other, please specify:
Maybe you could just shut up for a change? Might be a good idea, considering I find it amazing when the Republican party can remember where it parked last night.
18. Do you agree with President Trumps strategy of communicating directly with his supporters through Twitter, email, and Facebook videos?
Yes
No
No opinion
Other, please specify:
Sure, when you're craving the taste of piping-hot bullshit and need some RIGHT NOW, who wouldn't love a president who cuts out the middle man?
19. Do you believe the media is biased when it covers President Trumps stances on illegal immigration (ex: the Wall, ending Sanctuary cities)?
Yes
No
No opinion
Other, please specify:
No really - covering toddlers and children in cages probably calls for a lot of restraint - as opposed to weeping and righteous rage. OTOH, the same footage of two-year-olds having a "court hearing" probably makes you pop little Vienna-sausage-sized chubbies, but hey, to each their own.
20. Do you believe the media is biased when it covers President Trumps restriction on immigration from countries compromised by radical Islamic terrorism?
Yes
No
No opinion
Other, please specify:
If by "policies", you mean "flitting and fluttering from A to Q and thus to R like a bunch of mayflies on speed" it's actually kind of fun.
21. Do you believe the media is biased when it covers people of faith and supporters of religious liberties?
Yes
No
No opinion
Other, please specify:
Gosh, no - if anything, they're at least as eager to kiss the collective ass of the Angry Sky Wizard Fan Club as they are to kiss YOUR ass!
22. Do you believe that the media unfairly reported on President Trumps executive order granting Americans the freedom to buy health care across state lines?
Yes
No
No opinion
Other, please specify:
Oh, no, the freedom to buy useless health insurance that doesn't actually cover anything is VERY important. What a country!!
23. Do you believe that the media has been too quick to spread false stories about our movement?
Yes
No
No opinion
Other, please specify:
What movement? A bowel movement? An involuntary tic or spasm? Unclear . . .
24. Do you agree with the Presidents decision to break with tradition by giving lesser known reporters and bloggers the chance to ask the press secretary questions?
Yes
No
No opinion
25. Do you approve of Sarah Huckabee Sanders?
No, she blows goats, in addition to being a pathetic, angry fucking liar. And regarding Question 24 above, what possible difference does it make who asks the questions? She just lies anyway.
26. What percentage do you believe is an accurate representation of President Trumps positive news coverage by the mainstream media?
0%-10%
10%-25%
25%-50%
50%-75%
75%-100%
Are there any other thoughts youd like to share with the President when it comes to mainstream media accountability?
Resign now - it will only get harder the longer you wait for Robert Mueller.

(2,191 posts)This "survey" is just their way of getting their talking points across to Trump supporters.

(3,418 posts)such as health care, military spending, immigrants and media. I had a lot of fun responding to it. Wish I had copied mine like you. However, my answers were a lot ruder with a lot of Hell NO! opinions of their policies. It was worth the first class stamp to stamp to send our opinions to them.

(51,053 posts)But I suspect it will become unreadable due to a coffee spill once it reaches the republicans.

(31,408 posts)end up in the round file rather than tabulated with other responses.
Republicans are by and large not only clueless, but also humorless.
Thanks for sharing.
