Media Bias

What is your solution to this? Because it's never gonna stop as long as the money comes in.

I think speaking up and pointing it out. Keeping an open mind. Awareness in general. Limited exposure for sure.

LMAO. It's mainly liberals getting caught. Always has been since Bill Clinton took office. With people like you and the "MSM" making excuses for him and the Dems in general. Sad!

And what has Franken apologized for? Last I heard, "sorry you were offended", "it was a joke", and denials aren't apologies. No matter how "embarrassed" and "ashamed" Franken says he feels over how it looks. Franken's still insisting he's a good hearted guy through all this. And still promoting himself as a "champion of women".

Imagine how you would treat this situation if a Republican did and said exactly the same.

Yeah... if I could get that master list which brings credibility to your point, that'd be great. Don't just include media, I want the whole nine. Politicians, media, businessmen, etc. Anybody who donates money to political causes is fair game.

I love it. I hope it passes with flying colors. Like cops, politicians (aka the people that set the standard in this country) have to be held to a higher standard. The people deserve to know if their elected leaders can't keep their dick in their pants. Harassment scandals involving politicians need to be publicized, and they need to be held just as accountable as the Hollywood fucks having their careers disgraced now.

Democracy's immune system is in trouble. Here's what we can do (Opinion) - CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/01/opinions/digital-media-friend-foe-opinion-newmark/index.html)

Pretty good opinion article here about how to keeps news in the digital media better/honest... highlights:

A second principle -- already standard in traditional media -- should be that if a digital journalist makes a mistake, the outlet should admit it and correct it immediately. After all, if a mistake is made, the journalist is accountable, not just to the news organization, but to the readers at large. A correction should be done in a way that is equal or greater than the mistake that was published. For example, if the mistake is shared on a media outlet's website and across its social media platforms, the correction should be shared in the same manner.

A final principle would make editors commit to drafting headlines that accurately represent the content of the article, not present the reader with a false understanding of what the piece is about. For example, opinion editorials should be labeled as such, not purport to be news articles. I've also observed a number of headlines that express the unverified claim as a question. This can leave the reader misinformed. While headlines should catch a reader's attention, they shouldn't be deceitful.

Bravo to the last bold statement...CNN wouldn't have a channel or front page. In fact, ALL opinion articles should not be on the front of a website...much like how newspaper's worked...most opinion articles should be placed in the back of the front section.

Dude, it shouldn’t be released it if it is not thoroughly vetted! This is abc news released by their top political investigate reporter! Is the bar this low?

It’s a clear example of why people across the country hate And disapprove of the media.

This wasn’t some shit organization like huffington or blaze, this was abc news.

This probably warrants another thread, but I'm highly concerned about this new tax bill. I've looked at some nonpartisan sources and it basically looks like I'm going to get fucked in the middle class. In Virginia, it removes our state deduction and (this one I'm unsure on) our home deduction. We take no deductions because we like that windfall every tax season (I also know it's not the right way to do it, but I don't care :)). What I'm reading is highly confusing but it what I'm gleaning is that the rich will profit, people with two kids get a good deduction and the middle class gets bent over. Is that true? JoeRedskin, have you looked at this at all?

You can bet corporations and the wealthy will benefit the most
