Right, which is why they caused major headline news by dumping him ASAP on the accusations of one person. Solid logic there Chico.

Yes, I'm sure it will come out that he harassed multiple women, and this was NBC doing a pre-emptive strike. But for now all we have is one accuser, which NBC took seriously enough to do something about.

Well the accusations of trump and the actual facts that franken and conyers are both guilty....they probably all 3 will survive. Public vs private.

I think the liberal institutions Hollywood and the National media are actually bigger issue simply b/c they sell a biased opinion of being just/honest/ morally superior as a strategy to influence the country with liberal causes while not pursuing actual facts and stories that impact us all. They follow a political correct, false narrative and when the chickens come home to roost well, speaks to the fact of exactly what’s wrong with these institutions.

How can these institutions take accusations against trump and others when the fact is their own are committing factual, vetted incidents of sexual harassment and rape in some instances? These are legit questions. We should be asking this questions...shouldn’t we? Hollywood and the media...these aren’t glass houses...these are glass empires...

Re: Media Bias
 
Chico I hate arguing with you because you say things like "they all knew" which is just a black and white statement as opposed to going a bit deeper.

If you are someone who works at NBC and you rank below Matt Lauer, you probably heard the rumors or experienced it firsthand. If you knew the rumors, what are you going to do, put your career at jeopardy for trying to expose a wrong? According to the reports, some of the women who experienced this behavior firsthand went to management who looked the other way because Lauer was a cash cow.

So, TL;DR: If you rank below Matt Lauer, probably not much you can do. If you rank above Matt Lauer, you are also despicable for enabling this to happen in favor of the almighty dollar. Obviously they waited until the last minute to fire Lauer because they knew the report was about to break. Your bit about them not wanting the story to come out??? I mean obviously they knew the story was coming out regardless of their personal feelings on it.

Try some critical thinking from time to time Chico, because your knee jerk reactions suck.

Well I think because when oreily was fired the national media were high fucking fiving on msnbc, nbc, cbs, Washington Post and the nyt...nothing about victims. Now, the coverage has been clearly muted with multiple articles on cnn that ask “what do you when people you love do bad things” that was written today about lauer as it was about Louis C.K. recently. Nightly nbc news did 3 minutes on it tonight...that’s it. No multiple correspondents or even a entire segment.

It’s partisan because the coverage has made it partisan. But clearly as we keep score, we are seeing not only was the Hollywood seeped in sexual harressment, but NYT, NBC and CBS. So while these folks were spending time reporting on accusations that many are loose with the president, lo and behold major players in the national media were participating in an environment of sexual harassment.

So while lauer was bring up sexual harassment claims against trump and while Glenn Thrush was standing up for women against trump, these guys were actively participating in it.

So much for the war against women...the war was actually going on in Hollywood and the national media.

I better see some mutherfuckers marching in the streets soon....because that’s what they do right? This isn’t some false narrative this time...this is really happening. So March now.

Great story,none of it true but it sounds good except it's BS.
1) Nothing was said about victims becuase ....they are usually anonymous and most all outlets don't want to be seen as attacking victims.
2)O'Reily was an ass and he screamed from the highest mountain top as a superior of everyone and he paid off people, he attacked the accused Lauer has not and as soon as NBC got a whiff of it dropped him ,did FOX do that with O'Reily...NO. News Flash on a 30 min show 3 mins is a long segment FYI.
3)You say "But clearly as we keep score" , no , you are keeping score .....not we.

4)Reporters report.

I don't like how the evolution of truthiness has lead to all out streaming false narratives which are foundationally baseless..which have moved out of politics into mainstream media.

Its weird how I and others have the expectations of hypocrisy within politics. because that's what it is...But I don't expect that same level of hypocrisy from media. I expect more from them...I find it deeply disturbing when national media organization picks sides on issues, parties, people, etc. I don't like it when media organizations constantly try to divide this country in the name of revenue.

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?

With all the changes and last min additions to the bill most of the people voted without reading it.If I understand it my taxes are going up by almost $2000 with in the next two years.Things I could deduct I now can't and the richer top ten percent now have a higher standard deduction and mine (middle class)have a gotten lower and Corporations now will only pay taxes on money made in the US.Again I am not 100% on any of this.

The worst thing about the bill is the tax cuts for the middle class expire in ~5 or so years and the corporate tax cuts are permanent. Just in time for the middle class to forget Republicans are responsible for the setup in the first place. If we're being honest though, Trump's fanbase won't care. They aren't exactly the "do in depth research" type anyways, it's easier to just read a headline and form a conclusion. And if you don't like it, it's fake news.

ABC News Suspends Brian Ross for 4 Weeks Without Pay: ‘Effective Immediately’ For false Flynn report.

It’s not the first time Ross has come under fire for playing fast and loose with the facts, either. In 2012, he falsely suggested that the Aurora shooter Jim Holmes had been a member of the Colorado Tea Party — he was not.

That flub also resulted in an on-air clarification from Ross, which you can watch below.

[quote=mooby;1182151]I agree with most of this Chico. The retraction should always get as much attention as the first headline, yet it never does. I doubt the retraction reaches half the people that see the original headline.

And I would love it if op-ed's were marked as such, I hate reading something then halfway through I read a sentence that has no place in a news story and I'm like, oh shit this must be some random news jagoff's opinion.[/quote]


Yes ,I agree and you're smart enough to know it and disagree with it .Mooby you can tell fact from fiction,most people can.To go on about FU's in the media is ridiculous. Nice if people would bitch that much about the FU's in the goverment and what just happen to the American people with the tax bill.
