Media Bias

Exactly what I am saying. Again, amazing that after all the human race has accomplished that we cannot grasp this.

Think for yourself, question authority, but don't dare suggest that the media shows a bias in it's reporting of issues.

Lol. Im not doubting it at all. Media outlets are still run by a human who has his or her own views/agenda.
But thats the point. Ultimately its one persons views. Not mine.
Edit: im in no way saying you are wrong. Didn't mean to come across that way. You are 100% right. Think for yourself and to hell with the media.

Well - Chicago violence got on the front page of CNN:

Chicago police release video related to shooting of unarmed man - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/05/us/chicago-police-shooting-video-release/index.html)

4 dead, 17 wounded in Chicago shootings - Chicago Tribune (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-man-wounded-in-grand-crossing-shooting-20160805-story.html)

17 wounded, 4 dead in shootings on Friday in Chicago. But you won't hear it about, no police involved, no protest marches.

Well.....if Trump Burped, You'll here about that........

Search CNN - Videos, Pictures, and News - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/search/?text=ghostbusters)

Search | MSNBC (http://www.msnbc.com/search/ghostbuster)

Noticed today several media outlets reporting on what a flop the movie Ghostbusters is...to the tune of 70 million. ouch.

Ive noticed that CNN nor MSNBC isn't running the story anywhere...but if you click the link above you notice the over reporting and editorials about Ghostbusters as the movie was being promoted. Strange, all those stories about 1 movie. Many of these articles publishing opinions such as if you don't like the new ghostbusters movie, idea, etc then your a sexist. Because remember if you don't agree or even just 1 reservations...then your an asshole essentially. Your not allowed to disagree in this new world. It just striking, why in the fucking world would a supposed news org be so interested in such a dumb movie?

Lets admit...dumb idea, bad cast, bad acting and bad movie...right? And when the numbers back it up today...its not reported. Strange how the liberal media works.

When you search Suicide Squad for MSNBC...not one article...

the Tumblr account just-shower-thoughts is one of those throwaway one liner type accounts, but it does push out some unique thoughts from time to time. A few sample ones:

"American journalism has gotten to the point that readers are criticized for not fact checking news articles"

"Americans are worried about violence in Rio yet 19 people were shot in Chicago today and I see little coverage of it" (not sure of post date, but does it matter?)

"Every Olympic event should have one average person competing for reference"

"I live in a country that argues over whether a certain person should be the most powerful person in the country or be in prison"

No truer words have been spoken!

It's all fine and dandy to say "people need to think for themselves" but the reality is that good journalism is a key component of a successful and enduring democracy. Once our society loses its only tool for keeping our elected officials and unelected bureaucrats in check then we've lost democracy. I think it's pretty ironic that in some ways, during this age of information overload, many people operate within our democracy with even less information than ever before. i suspect you'll find very few people who wouldn't agree that the state of journalism in our country is at an all time low.

One guy at my work, not a sharp cookie to start with, was going on and on about Trump's wall. No big deal right, I mean everyone agrees that the basic concept is not really going to happen. BUT, then he says something to the effect of "Yeah, he wants to be a dictator like Hitler" and I asked what that had to do with the wall. "Well Hitler built his wall in Germany" :doh::doh:

We are doomed...
