More than two thirds of Americans believe that News criticism of political leaders keeps them from doing things that should not be done, such as mislead constituencies. Only 21% believe that media criticism prevents these leaders from doing their jobs. These numbers have increased in recent years, as the increased scrutiny of media demands more political transparency.
