Media Bias

[MTK]

The big bad media isn't fair to Trump? Cry us a river FFS.

[Alvin Walton]

Its the lefty websites that are doing the crying.....
If they actually reported news instead of running a smear campaign they might get better treatment.

Trump is smearing himself just fine, biggest fucking idiot we've see as President

But shouldnt the media be presenting important information in a neutral manor and let the public decide? This is what the question is...the media should not be influencing the public by pompous sensationalize reporting that is mostly based on opinion and not facts. Plus using non-verified sources or just using anonymous sources seems like it leaves a lot of facts unchecked and assumptions to be made...

It's a fact the mainstream media is staunchly bias in this case.

That sounds nice but in reality media organizations exist to make money and as long as that is the case they will pick and choose the angle to report.

Also, we need to start separating credible places like the AP and Reuters from media that tries to pass op-eds off like they're actually news. The lines between news and opinions are being intentionally blurred because they are getting results. Yeah, I get my news from MSNBC, but I stick to articles they are publishing that were written by the AP or another credible company like Reuters.

Haha...no....
The American media in general was a joke way before Trump got into office.

LOL, ahhh no.it wasn't until the "alternative facts" crew took hold and started screaming fake news that the media was question .Thank God the media has stood firm in the unrelentless coverage of the Tangerine buffoon in the white house.It's their job to question the President and that is what they do.

Pure bullshit.
The media is mostly liberal based pro left.
It doesnt matter which republican is the president, they will go after him on any angle they can dream up.
And their "job" is to sell stories.
And make profits off of that.
They dont have to be truthful stories, they just have to sell.
You try to make it sound like they are some kind of civil service.

It's different. Obama was terrible, therefore the negative media coverage was acceptable. In this case Trump is just a good guy trying to clean up Obama's mess, so it's not ok.

Ummm - from your article:

The media coverage of Obama was particularly rough at the beginning of the year, with an average of nearly 47% negative stories compared with slightly more than 15% positive stories during the first four weeks of January, Pew found. As the economy and his poll numbers improved in March, so did the favorability of his media coverage, but the president still has yet to see more positive coverage than negative in 2012.

The Harvard analysis put Trump's at around 80% negative. If Pres Obama had EVER received 80% negative press reports I believe we would have had a societal mass mental breakdown on our hands because of how easy liberals are offended.

I would say in a society in which about 50% of the public leans toward the left and 50% lean toward the right a 47% negative is what you should expect.(which is why I don't look at the 52% negative from Fox as a dispositive to the fact that the media en masse is blatantly biased)

The sheer hysteria and tidal wave that is the mainstream media simply causes a large portion of the population to ignore them. Personally, I haven't turned CNN on in months, and the network news shows and newsfeeds are really useless as well.

The bigger problem I see beyond the so called bias is people are getting to the point where they are dismissing legit news or basically anything they don't agree with. Much like the science deniers or anti vaccine movement, it's a scary time when people blow off legit facts.
