Let's Talk About Media

[sturg33]

Weaponzied media. Opposition to the will of the American people. I hope people who supported Bernie are as enraged as those of us who support Trump.

I agree that the media and the education system is the biggest threat to thew future of this country.

The media has grown to mean more than a check on the government. These are major global centers that wield influence in politics. I don't see how that doesn't trouble people.

Great question to ask...

Hillary released medical records, correct?

Trump released a letter for a crazy person with a crazy mustache that, shockingly said, he was the most in shape person ever on planet earth, correct?

one is also actually president

but whatever

What's next? Editing the tape to make David Duke sound racist?

I can't even choose which specious element of this to respond to first.

This thread is a fun rebuke to the simpletons who scream "fake news"

[thethe]

I'm sure there was nothing more newsworthy at this time than a report of DJT diet coke consumption.

I think this whole Roy Moore thing was a perfect example of what most on the right mean when they state that left wing media is fake news. Answer this question honestly. Would CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, etc. have given anywhere near the time on the Moore scandal if roles were reversed?

uh, yes

obviously

i'm still getting Harvey stories and them writing stories about Al touching the hip of a girl during a photo

so, yeah, they would have covered it

which one am i suppose to be outraged about when it was over an hour after a failed attack from someone who only hurt himself?

hell, my friend up there was pissed at that time for it still ****ing up her transit to get to work. i bet i could have sent her a message at that exact time telling both headlines and she would have gone more off on the "of course the president would drink that much and watch tv etc" and pretty much say "**** him" to any loser terrorist. so weird how people on the frontlines of spots for terrorists attacks don't let it dictate their life and others nowhere near it let it consume them.


sorry, i was supposed to be pissed about which one again?

Another banner day of "journalism" from the highest rated news channel in the business

Hmm - Global war against radical Islam hour after an attempted attack in the capital of the world or Trumps drinking habits? Such a tough choice.

[Julio3000]

I'd be curious to know if that screenshot was actually representative of the amount of time to CNN spent covering the terrorist attack.

In a broader sense, though, a media-stoked national freakout over an incident like that does more to advance the interests of the terrorist than it does the American public.

If black people had voted 68% for a pedophile last night, the media would be spending all day questioning the moral character of black families and communities.

Good lord I could only imagine the **** storm the right would unleash if the Democrats were supporting a candidate like Roy Moore. I also know of 9/11 happened on Obama's watch they would never let it go.

I don't recall them cutting Anthony Weiner much slack.
