Let's Talk About Media

[57Brave]

No Drama Obama


was what the White House pool called him.
This is old. Nixon felt the Kennedy's were favored by the "elite eastern press"

Whenever (R) is losing they blame the press.Avoid the issues and generate gossip gossip

No one has mentioed Roger Ailes.

Obama fired Flynn and Trump went against Obama's advise and hired Flynn

Suppose Trump had taken Obama's advise -- some of ou would be celebrating the demolition of ACA
Trumps bad press is an old carnic]val barkers trick " there is no such thing as bad press"

[57Brave]

Looking at this it is idiotic to complain about Trump v Clinton news coverage.
For example - the size of Pneumonia on the C side and Russian on the T side.

Life takes some funny turns

[thethe]

Shareholders complained about CNN bias at the shareholders meeting but this is all a R creation here.

[57Brave]

Do you have names or is this some Daily Caller whining

quit whining about the press and contribute something

if you are blaming the press --- you are losing

I find this interesting in that there are no policies ! just gossip

[thethe]

I forgot - Maybe you can help me. What is the title of this thread?

I know you don't want to talk about this because every study proves what we are saying.

[57Brave]

maybe y'all should be looking at "why" (R) is getting bad press
This could be a source -------- no?

GHF‏ @HealthyFutureGA

Breaking: GA predicted to lose 16,000 jobs under #ACArepeal bill, most from healthcare http://ow.ly/YiYH30cAghs #gapol #ProtectOurCare

not only is the bill cutting the health care legs from under people. Every people - don't think cause you are white you get a pass !! Numbers show this will impact everyone not getting a tax break. Everyone
It is taking jobs, too.

The title of the thread is talk about the media -- but so far it has been a bitch fet of 4 or 5 posters whining about how mean the press is to Trump.

With actual support that you do not care to discuss. Did Harvard produce a faulty study?

[57Brave]

Was that a Harvard University sponsored study or a Grad Student study.
Was it a statistical project or PolySci ?
Who did the measuring
There are no footnotes or even a source attached to the charts.
Where is themeasurment of Trumps complicity in this "negative news"

Did the study spell out what qualifies "positive" or "negative"
What was the time frame ?

Just because there is a study and the name attached is Harvard -- why would anyone take that alone as fact ?
This chart actually asks more questions than it answers

So ok, let's begin asking and answering those questions.

[57Brave]

FOX dropped Fair and Balanced

as long as we are talking about media
anyone venture a guess as to why ?

Because Fox is not fair and balanced. Their opinion shows are clearly tilted towards the right.

When has anyone excluded Fox for the media bias conversation?

[57Brave]

what news source most often gets the
who what whens and where's right in your opinion ?

what news source is onto stories before it gets measured "fair and balanced"

Who cares fair and balanced.
I want my information varied and one sided.

This thing about bitching that "media" is slanted one way, perhaps the events themselves are slanting one way or the other !
Witness Trumps and Russia or this whole Health Care debacle

Maybe the news isn't always to your liking

Blame it like everything else in 2017 on trophy culture
..............

a read into FOX will give you the origins of F &B and how in 2017 it is kinda silly

Tilted, lol. That right leaning weight is at the bottom of the mariana trench.

[Chipper]

One thing I'm sure of is the United States can't continue on it's current path. Something's gotta give, and neither side is interested in any type of cooperation. If it's not the beginning, the US is on it's way down. Looks like Putin is getting what he wanted, the demise of the US.
There's nothing united about these United States of America. The media on both sides is pushing hate of the other side.

[Oklahomahawk]

Why are you talking about Trump?


Just admit that the media wasn't on hard on Obama as they have been on trump.

The left leaning parts of the media were unduly and unfairly nice to Obama, but how would you describe how the right leaning parts of the media were/are to him?

Thanks for admitting that. Seems like some people in here on the left can't admit it.

[Runnin]

Thanks for admitting that. Seems like some people in here on the left can't admit it.

So the left leaning parts lean to the left. That's quite the admission.

Glad it makes you feel better.

Obama didn't make daily gaffes. After the "cling to guns and religion" gaffe, he reined it in and purposely gave the media the least amount of ammo he could, like any smart President would.

If Thump would just turn off his tweeter and do his job he would be in better shape and would likely be able to get away with more. We are lucky that he's such an incompetent villain.

[Oklahomahawk]

Thanks for admitting that. Seems like some people in here on the left can't admit it.

That's one of the few positive things about not having a side. Sadly (or maybe not) neither side wants me on their side. I think Nicholson was more correct in that one famous movie statement than he knew.

So, will you admit that the right leaning parts of the media were bat****e crazy unfair to Obama on the other end of the spectrum?

[Runnin]

Why are you talking about Trump?

Just admit that the media wasn't on hard on Obama as they have been on trump.

I thought it would be obvious.

They weren't as hard on Obama. Right. Because he behaved within the norms of how we expect a President to behave. He acted and spoke like he knew what was going on. He sold himself better.

T on the other hand...sells himself as a loose cannon and a maverick. The problem is he also comes across like a guy who doesn't have a clue what he's doing and isn't interested in learning. Plenty of media fodder and it grows exponentially every day.

Is that why they went easy on O? there were people on the left afraid to criticize Obama because they were afraid of being labeled a racist and didn't want blowback from the civil right, Race baiting thugs that show up all the time.



If Trump attended a church where his pastor said horrible things about Jews, blacks and burning down America, that would be brought up on a daily basis by the left. It would be used as evidence on why he is unfit to be president.
