Media bias
 

All forms of media are controlling the news content that we see and some of it is unsubstantiated crap and the left loves it.
How the hell are they getting away will censoring voices they deem unacceptable?
This is a HUGE problem in America.

Re: Media bias
 

This is a media bias chart.

I find it interesting and from personal observation probably pretty accurate:

https://www.adfontesmedia.com/intera...-bias-chart-2/

This is a lot on it but you can filter by particular organizations for a snapshot of that source.

I personally don't want to get my news from an organization that only tells me what I want to hear.

Free speech and censorship is and always will be a subject of concern in the United States. The basis being the old "yelling fire in a crowed theater" example.

Re: Media bias
 

Bill,

Thanks for posting this chart, but are we to trust it?

I don't trust anything I read or hear anymore because it seems everything has a hidden bias.

Re: Media bias
 

Frank,

That is an excellent point.

I looked at the ratings for several sources and based on my impressions they seemed plausible.

Re: Media bias
 

The most trustworthy is the Weather Channel, interesting.

FNN, Newsmax, brightbart, OAN, NY Post, the blaze all on the same level as R/T (the english language russian propaganda channel) and on the same level, slate the raw story, etc... havn't heard of most of the lefties rags.

So its about time to listen to the regular news and not the spin machines.

Later taters,

Re: Media bias
 

Not the New York Times, they bring bias to another level.

Re: Media bias
 

Frank, the TARDLINGS attempt to control and condition the minds of our youngsters as early as kindergarten. It’s not the childrens fault, they don’t know any better. The media with its LEFT spin on everything attempts to sway us more experienced folks. It will only get worse .......

Re: Media bias
 

Frank, THERE IS NO MEDIA in this country.
Ever since the Viet Nam War, the news ,including the esteemed Walter Cronkite started to drift towards the anti-war left.

Along came Watergate, and then every young twit who came out of J-school, wanted to be the new Woodward and Bernstein . Couple that with the brainwashing of our young in college, by left-over 60's radical commie loving "professors" , and you have the current situation.

Thankfully the left got snookered by Rush and AM talk, before they could shut it down.
Fox News prospered as the alternative news. When they went wobbly, Newsmax, OAN filled the void.

The mainstream used to do investigative journalism. Remember the crooked auto shop expose' on 60 Minutes?... No more.
When James O'Keefe and Project Veritas exposed the butchers at PP selling body parts, the Left put HIM in jail.

As divided as we are now , I don't see his scenario changing anytime soon.

I sent my son who was politically conservative in high school to college and he came back with 3 degrees, Political Science, World History and Liberalism!

Re: Media bias
 

We all know how the media plays abbreviated sound bites of President Trump intended to shed a negative light on his message and many times out of context.
I have yet to see anyone play a sound bite of the speech from his rally of January 6th or am I wrong. They also haven't to my knowledge estimated the number of supporters present. The President claims it was 250,000.

I have read the entire transcript of the speech and although it is filled with his usual rhetoric it is without him encouraging them to march on the Capitol in an aggressive manner.

1) I will say this, in my opinion the rally was a bad idea because it would further divided the country and it did.
2) He should have addressed the nation live that very evening to denounce the violence and formally concede the election to re-unite the nation.
3) He should have never thrown Mike Pence under the bus and to the wolves. Pence was his greatest ally and Trump was asking him to do something that is unconstitutional.
4) He finally denounced the violence by a video recording and 27 hours later!
5) To my knowledge he has not personally reached out to the families of the deceased Capitol Police.

In a nutshell ,as a fervent supporter of his, I'm extremely disappointed in his response to the event and his lack of leadership.

That's it, I'm done with this and other related threads.

Re: Media bias
 

1- rally was a good idea and legal, until it got out of hand
2- election was stolen and not 1 dem judge will allow any investigation to go forward. If nothing to hide then let them investigate
3-I agree 100%
4- Yes he did
5-To my knowledge either

Re: Media bias
 

Maybe this will help people figure out what really went down.

Strange how the MSM has been silent about the FBI arrest of John Sullivan the Antifa and BLM guy who organized the chaos. Strange how they've been silent about the Antifa rally at the Washington monument during Trump's speech. Strange how they don't mention the last line of the President's speech and how the Capital siege was going on already as the President was wrapping up his speech.

There's a lot of video out there that tells a different story than what's being fed to the lazy lemmings. It's too bad that they will never bother to look.

Re: Media bias
 

The media as we know it is privately owned so they can spew anything they choose. Truthful or not. The conservatives don't really have any way to get truthful news. I don't know what they will do when Trump is not in the picture any more. I guess they will start to focus on the republican senators and congressmen

Re: Media bias
 

One of the best cures for the media is...turn it off. A little critical thinking goes a long way.

Re: Media bias
 

That is exactly what the commie media wants us to do is turn it off. Give up and become brain dead liberal sheep, believe everything you are told and obey. Ok. I say KMA. This commie brain dead POS will never be my president Period. So flame on boys I could care less. I will be at the track if you want to talk come and see me. I am not PC never will be, I call a spade a spade period no middle ground. You sheeple enjoy your win.

Re: Media bias
 

Randy, we do agree on one thing. You have the right to not support Joe Biden, just as I had the right to not support Donald Trump.

I don't ever get ulcers.

Re: Media bias
 

Well thanks Bill, but I doubt the cult or fascist regime you belong to feels the way you do.

Re: Media bias
 

OK, Fascists or communist? Do you know the difference?

Re: Media bias
 

Well Eddie the short version is, when these people talk about reprogramming a certain class of people or eliminate them, like Hitler did I would call that fascism. There are some commies in this cult also like the Squad.

Randy

Re: Media bias
 

So basically it is just name calling to provoke a response. We need to all grow and be adults.

Re: Media bias
 

Yup.

Hi, I'm Billy. I'm a conservative.
I'm (apparently) also a racist, a sexist and a white supremacist.

Re: Media bias
 

Note these labels are coming from the party that now wants to promote unity.
That also includes their PR wing, the former mainstream media.

Re: Media bias
 

Bill,
You need to realize that there are some adult on the other side here that you can debate with and then there are a few like Randy. All they can do is call people names.


Stan

Re: Media bias
 

Eddie, your heros in congress have been name calling for years. Now that they control everything they want us to unify and comply, no thanks they can kiss my Red White and Blue A**. And I will name call these rotten SOB's, because I will not join them.

Randy

Re: Media bias
 

Stan, the problem is there is no debating a liberal, it is a mental disorder, so you can Kiss my A** also. And if I hurt your feelings, just man up grow some Ba*** and take it like an ADULT instead of a 5 year old.

Re: Media bias
 

Randy,
I know you are not the only person with strange ideas out there in MO. Looks like Josh Hawley is taking some heat for those strange ideas also, even back home in MO.

One thing is for sure you are not Macho Man Randy. lol

Stan

Re: Media bias
 

Love me some Macho Man...Yeah

Sorry for the thread hijack.

Re: Media bias
 

Stan, Quit watching CNN, it is damaging your brain. By the way your cult is burning and pillaging Seattle, Portland and Denver. Now the Pervert Joe is in they will not report it. Josh Hawley 2024 will be a shoe in for President after the cult destroys the economy and are freedoms. No I am just an Old man Stan, not a macho man like you. I am done with this conversation, you commies can GFYS.

Randy

Re: Media bias
 

Randy,
Forget CNN. What does you local newspaper say about Josh Hawley. How about one of Josh Hawley's local major donors has said how could I so wrong about you and I am done with you.


I don't know how old you are but would guess I am a minimum of a decade older than you.


I see that you are done with this conversation. Facts seem to do that to you.



Stan

Re: Media bias
 

All just part of the uneducated Left (college educated) and their cancel culture.
They can't compete with ideas...or facts for that matter.
Not calling anyone a Commie , but they do do that kind of thing.
There's a few here still wondering where these bad, bad ideas come from ;-)

Re: Media bias
 

Young people attached themselves to a cause that is attached to the agenda they are somewhat associated to, only to have a voice on today's news cycle. It's ambiguous and with a shallow thought process.
We have all been there. As Shakespeare once said, "What fools these mortals be".

Re: Media bias
 

Stan,

You obviously do not know Missouri, you must be reading KC Start and the St Louis Rag, or Columbia. Josh will be reelected. Your facts and my Facts are like venus and mars.
Have you ever built anything that makes, Electricity, Fuel, Food, water? With out us deplorable's you college boys and Liberals wood be living in the stone age. I am 64 years old and still building stuff that keeps this country running, not because I have to but because I like it. Oh yeah I don't get those vote for.me checks and if I did would give it to charity.
Randy.

Re: Media bias
 

Oh to be 64 again. Yes that was over a decade ago.

I have worked with computers since the late '60s.

Before that I worked at a couple of car repair shops, also doing new house construction and 3 years in the Army working on Nuclear Missiles (fastest most powerful thing I have ever worked on). I actually got to go to New Mexico and be part of a team that got to prep and fire a missile (high explosive warhead).

Stan

Re: Media bias
 

I appreciate that but do not down play us so called Trumpers because with out us you would be Shi**** in a bucket, and that is a fact like it or not.
