Media Bias

I think its wrong to conflate fake news with media bias. There are examples of both occurring more frequently.

Media bias is more or less a generalized acknowledgement of what that chart attempts to convey. That every outlet has some level of leaning and some level of fact vs opinion.

Fake news is much more insidious in that it attempts to distort singular facts into a false narrative. It puts a facade of journalistic integrity while pushing a dogmatic underlying message


I agree, but the problem is we have a President who liberally uses the term fake news for anything he disagrees with, or for any news outlet that doesn’t bow to him. He routinely dismisses CNN as fake news. I think that’s a problem.

I think CNN specifically has taken a deep dive in credibility in their reporting during Trump's presidency, basically fulfilling the role that Trump created for themI agree, but the problem is we have a President who liberally uses the term fake news for anything he disagrees with, or for any news outlet that doesn’t bow to him.

2 Question, what’s your expectations for CNN? And if Hillary would have won the election, the topic of Russia meddling in elections....would it even be covered?

BS,

Since Ben Franklin started the first "New Paper" this has been going on!

'Franklin saw the printing press as a device to instruct colonial Americans in moral virtue. ... He tried to influence American moral life through construction of a printing network based on a chain of partnerships from the Carolinas to New England. Franklin thereby invented the first newspaper chain."

Call it what you want propaganda ,misinformation and now the trumplings come up with "fake news".
Again you bring up "ethics"....like it is some sword of virtue that you expect from every journalist and I do all so but I do understand they are humans and humans are not perfect but you don't expect it from your president,what the phuck? People believe what they want to believe but you and your president attacking the American free press is total BS and you know it. It is the press's job, a journalist job to question everything and especially everything a President does and becuase they do does not make them bias or "fake news".


Chico you're part of the trump cult and they don't give a shit about this country right now.

Sorry but CNN is not fake news. Do they lean liberal? Sure. Do they fabricate stories? No.

And they’re nowhere near in matching the toxicity of FOX during Obama’s tenure.

And they’re nowhere near in matching the toxicity of FOX during Obama’s tenure.I would be interested to see the number of negative articles toward Obama on Fox vs the equivalent number of negative articles toward Trump on CNN.

I would speculate the numbers would be even or CNNs would outnumber Foxs. Especially in the first 2 years.

Which WH was more combative and outwardly negative towards the media? Trump came out swinging from day 1.
