    Let's Talk About Media

    The mainstream media in this country is truly terrible, and I believe is being used as a total indoctrination tool to brainwash the masses. This goes both ways. fox is terrible too, but the media on the left is so overwhelmingly biased it's staggering... I came across this today and thought the need to post:

    CNN on HRC's health




    MTV host on how the country should be united following an expected HRC victory




    The independent claiming there is no way for the election to be rigged.... until Trump won






    CNN on hacking









    Salon doing a 180 on writing discourse




    Slate does a 180 on the electoral college after Trump wins





    Fashion writer doing a double standard on women's dresses





    Political manipulating language for same act with regards to Trump vs Oba




    Slate calls Trump a moderate Republican before pivoting to fascist




    HuffPost not sure its opinion on food snobbiness




    CNN likes paid family leave, until Trump includes the same benefit in his budget




    NBC printing plainly false info




    Can we all agree this bias is unacceptable?

    No? I figured not.

    The listener/reader is the one that is truly biased. Not the media itself. I say this as a trained journalist.

    This is not a surprise. The foundations that this country was founded on are on a never ending attack by progressive liberalism. The deck is stacked. They are doubling down because they thought it would be a clean sweep in the future of governmental power.

    It's a joke Sturg. For anyone to deny what is happening is just happy with what is happening.

    Honestly...

    I am not sure where the gripe is here. The values this country was actually founded on are more in line with progressive values than conservative ones from my point of view.

    You're not sure of the gripe?

    The gripe is that the media is completely dishonest and untrustworthy

    That's your opinion nothing more nothing less, which you have a right to express.

    I'm not convinced that's correct, but for me the gripe is more about certain media networks pretending to be something they're not. The good news is that I think we're seeing the death of mainstream media and moving more toward internet media, where it's more honest in regards to what it is. Next up, the death of universities.

    The problem with the net is you can say whatever you want and people believe it.

    Only some people, and that will never change. Every time you and everyone who posts in this forum visits infowars or Buzzfeed we take their articles with a huge grain of salt. We understand that these sites have clear biases, and it makes us better for it. Why is it bad that we recognize bias?

    It only shows how biased your own perception of the news is.

    One cannot complain that Trump gets too much negative press when he goes out of his way to create negative press for himself.

    41% of the coverage on obama was negative? Wtf. Other than Fox News, it had to be 90% favorable.

    The media sells fear. It's almost always negative. The fact that Obama had more positive coverage than negative is striking

    Again, that's only your perception. You didn't like the positive stories about what a good job the black, Democrat man with a weird name was doing, so it seemed like there were more than there were. Stories you agree with make less of an impression so you don't count them as much.

    I see dozens of headlines in the so called main stream media that to me are more positive for Trump than they should be. By repeating his words they validate his villainous, ridiculous mind.

    I don't think anyone can objectively say that Obama wasn't the beneficiary of an unprecedented friendly press.

    Harvard just did a whole study on it
