Re: Media Bias
I still think the fake news/bias mantra is way overblown especially since Trump started calling anything and everything fake news. People now use it as a crutch to discount news they don’t agree with. Of course you don’t want to rely on one source for all of your news, that’s just common sense. And there will always be some people not capable of critical thinking in order to sort through all the noise.
People act like back in the good old days news wasn’t biased and it was always just the facts. That’s BS. We just have a larger volume of information coming at us today and it’s 24/7 crap to sift through. |

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 |

Media Bias
Quote:
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. |

Re: Media Bias
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 them

Re: Media Bias
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?

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. |

Re: Media Bias
Personally I've always gone to NPR, WSJ, and BBC to find some balance. I've generally found it difficult to stay interested in the news since Trump was elected.

Re: Media Bias
If u think that’s a good chart for CNN...wow
I think the high level of reporting facts based on unnamed sources is a shift in journalism standards over the last ten years is a move in the wrong direction |

As it is, I rarely read and never watch CNN so I have to go by your opinion that CNN is published by the devil and other's opinions on it. As for unnamed sources, I understand your viewpoint but I also understand that if a source would like to keep their job (aka the reason why they can be a source in the first place) at a high level of gov't it's probably for the best imo. I know there are exceptions but I also believe most sources are vetted and/or confirmed before they start publishing info, and if they aren't they could at least include a disclaimer to state otherwise. And I also acknowledge it's an imperfect system where occasionally unconfirmed rumors get published and usually end up being retracted later with 1/10 the views the original publication got. |
