Let's Talk About Media

[sturg33]

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.

By the way, the left never ceases to amaze me with their quick trigger pull of "sexism"

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

By the way, I'd like to use this thread for all media bull****.

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.

 

[sturg33]

Anyone see a difference?

 

[sturg33]

Harvard study released showing the full extent of the media sentiment against Trump

Compared to last three admins:

Here's how it broke down by topic

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.

Again the networks playing to their audiences people just doing their jobs.

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

People don't like thier networks to lie and spill bull**** 24/7.

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

 

[VirginiaBrave]

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.

 

[sturg33]

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.
