Media Bias

Washington Post maybe in its worst shape ever

Sally Buzbee lasted almost 3 year. Pretty embarrassing

“We are losing large amounts of money. Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. I can’t sugarcoat it anymore,” Lewis said.

Democracy does in darkness….lololol how much until that is removed?

This one is not so much bias, but this type of bullshit hyperbole in this story is becoming more and more common and it does sway people. This click bait MSN story's, from this morning, headline.

"Japan fires at Russian jets in its airspace as World War fears continue to escalate>"

Problem is once you start reading the story it is revealed that no they didn't fire on the Russian Jets, they dropped flairs.

The thread is about Media Bias. The content of the interview will be in the Presidential thread.

Fox News edited Trump’s rambling answers and false claims in barbershop interview, full video shows

https://news.yahoo.com/finance/news/...122942138.html

Trump’s complaints about “60 Minutes” center on an edit of Harris’ comment about the relationship between Israel and the United States. He has charged that CBS manipulated the Harris interview to “make her look better” and demanded that CBS release the unedited transcript of the interview, which CBS has declined to do.

The televised broadcast omitted Trump’s comments about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. He told the barbershop customers that “they just dumped 50,000 people — 32,000 migrants from another country — in Springfield, Ohio. They don’t know what to do.” The actual number of migrants in Springfield is far lower, according to the city’s own data. The broadcast also left out Trump’s gross exaggerations about crime in Aurora, Colorado.

One of the most telling parts of the dialogue began when an audience member asked Trump about finding a way to eliminate federal taxes in the future. On Fox, Trump was shown immediately answering affirmatively: “There is a way.”

But that response from Trump actually came more than seven minutes later, after Trump (and Jones) brought up other topics, including inheritances, the Keystone Pipeline, Ronald Reagan, Russia, and transgender sports players. Trump had to be nudged back on track several times by the unnamed audience member, who kept circling back, apologetically, and said “I wasn’t able to finish my question.” After he repeated his tax inquiry yet again, Trump said “there is a way.”
In another unplayed portion of the visit, Trump praised Hungarian strongman Viktor Orban and called him a “very respected guy.” That exchange underscored Trump’s tendency to favor autocratic leaders, but Fox decided not to share it with viewers.

LA Times Owner did the same thing.

Washington Post Erupts in Civil War As Jeff Bezos Censors Its Kamala Harris Endorsement.

His move was revealed by the newspaper’s own reporters—as one of its star writers, policy expert Robert Kagan, quit and its legendary former editor Marty Baron erupted in rage.

The billionaire Amazon founder stopped the publication of an endorsement of the Democratic candidate which its editorial board had already written, the paper reported.

Within hours Kagan, a veteran editor-at-large quit in disgust, Semafor reported. The dramatic move was called “cowardice” by its Pulitzer Prize-winning ex-editor, Baron. One of the paper’s star reporters, Ashley Parker, called it “a new type of October Surprise.”

The sudden move 11 days before the election caused shockwaves, and came despite the paper endorsing local candidates. It plunges The Washington Post into the same kind of civil war which is already engulfing The Los Angeles Times whose billionaire owner also stopped a Harris endorsement.

This is a legitimate question. Not arguing with you at all. Do you think it would be better if all newspapers didn't make an official presidential endorsement? I don't think it's a bad idea to not have an editorial board try to influence how all of it's readers vote.

Doesn't matter, the Editorial Board should make the call , not the Owner. News papers have always had opinions since day one, now Billionaires decide what you should read.
