Poll: Media Weakening U.S. Defenses

A new poll by the Pew Research Center shows that a rising number of Americans are now concerned that media criticism of the military is hurting the U.S.'s ability to defend itself.

Nearly half - 47 percent - say that by criticizing the military so frequently, news organizations are weakening the nation's defenses.


Forty-four percent say, on the other hand, that the media's criticism keeps the nation militarily prepared.
More than two-thirds of Republicans - 67 percent - objected to the way the press covers the military, while only 36 percent of Democrats disapproved of the media's anti-military coverage.

The number of those now saying that the press is anti-military has increased dramatically since the 9/11 attacks, when only a little more than a third of those surveyed thought the press was too critical.
