    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.

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

    I agree partially bit I also believe there is a greater agenda at play here. There are really powerful people driving all of this.

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

    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.

    Obama was the chosen one. He was the key to getting a high voting turnout. An intelligent black man who was a brilliant orator is the lefts wet dream as a front man for their movement.

    Progressivism is a relative word. The scale has shifted too far to the left and it's never enough.

    You're not sure of the gripe?

    The gripe is that the media is completely dishonest and untrustworthy

    I think people are pretending that saying the media is fake is fake news.

    Honestly... the most hateful people in this country are leftists. They are intolerant petulant thugs who have no personal accountability.

    I think the media drives them there. See above

    This is not a joke. This is a real problem.
