Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted January 8, 2017 Numerous examples of them either outright censoring news stories on in some cases, making the sh!t up to further their goals.

RLLD 4,275 Posted January 8, 2017 Without any doubt what so ever the media has bias, I think we can all agree on that. I think the notion that they might not is funny, not sure that anyone still touts that as plausible at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimmySmith 2,783 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted this in the Trump twitter thread. It appear CBS has full on decided to be the anti-Trump network. It won't pay off. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/yahoo-finance-deletes-trump-tweet-that-included-racist-slur/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trumpurethra 42 Posted January 8, 2017 No there is not some great agenda or conspiracy against the conservatives. Hollywood is not out to get you lol. Look, there is no doubt the networks have an agenda. That agenda is ratings and money. Of course they manipulate stories and choose what and how to broadcast said stories because they want RATINGS and MONEY. I would say your linked video is a perfect example of this hypocrisy and deception. He mentions ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN but none of the other networks. When the truth is, they are all guilty of these tactics. So he himself is thereby employing the very same tactics he is criticizing. In my book, that automatically disqualifies anything he says. But feel free to resume your tinfoil hat circle jerk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbfalcon 827 Posted January 8, 2017 I have a more simplified belief. Everyone is biased. A wise man once said "I think, therefore I am.". Well, if you think, then you'll think particular things. Those things create biases. Thusly, if you am, then you're biased. Talk show hosts, writers, your neighbor, message board posters, your pets, all biased. And anytime biased people form a collective, that collective will assume a bias. In short, yes the media is biased. And so are you. So stop complaining that they are the same as you.

The appeal is interesting, where it states the FCC laws aren't laws, just guidelines. Did you happen to see the other link, that rates the news networks for accuracy? They've got Fox at 60% for lies, mostly false, and partially false. MSNBC and NBC comes in at 44% for the same. CNN is at 20%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 15,911 Posted January 8, 2017 So, fox didn't admit anything and didn't go to court? Doesn't mean they aren't biased, but it looks like there was some fake news at play. Was there ever a retraction about that claim? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,996 Posted January 8, 2017 So the networks are biased, and water is wet. What happened to free market capitalism? What happened to freedom of choice? Aren't these cornerstone mantras of the Right? CBS, ABC, NBC are corporations - just like anything else. Are you suggesting censorship? Are you suggesting free market capitalism only if it aligns with you own personal biases?

I get and understand the networks are biased - and I agree, they are. But what I don't get is the Right's upheaval over it. They preach, scream and rant for deregulation, individual liberty and freedom and free market capitalism. Up until that is the system differs with their own biases - THEN it's a problem.... CBS and the rest are in the biz of making money, just like everyone else. Back during the campaign circus, Trump's tax scandal was front and center...
