I'm going with John Kelly. He gets a first hand audience to the nonsense and he doesn't seem like the typical Trump yes man.
High degree of confidence for me that it's Nikki Haley.

Re: Media Bias

The op-ed spends so much time discussing foreign policy, Nikki has her eyes on a run at president at some point in her life, and she comes from the old-guard GOP that considers itself principled.

Re: Media Bias

The truth will come sooner than later...No way NYT would run it unless it was inner circle high ranking white house official...Im gonna say Id lean Kelly.

If its not a high ranking, top 15 senior official, then this whole thing is a farce.

When its buried in the CNNMoney section, no.

Especially at a time when Tech companies are big news makers when it comes to spreading fake news, Russian interference, protecting customer information....all these are front page, headline-type news.

Plus this company has been accused many times of bias within its products...seems like hard evidence backing these confirming this biased would be news...the problem is CNN which supports the same political agenda buries the story.

So sure reporting it is fine...but you think this is honest coverage? You think Don Lemon or Anderson will do a panel on it tonight?

This should be moving the needle...Im sure if a CEO and its board came out and crushed Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders as evil socialists who should pass regs to hurt its business...on stage at a townhall...would be more news worthy and the position of the CNNs covering it would be faux outrage.

Im just trying to get people think evenly about the coverage of the country by the media and social media companies.

I think Google and Facebook are starting to make the case for Regulations.

Re: Media Bias

Looks like Google trying to limited access to information and push liberal bias with a political agenda. President is right again:

New York Times amends report that improperly pinned pricey curtains on Nikki Haley

The initial story written by reporter Gardiner Harris carried the headline, "Nikki Haley's View of New York Is Priceless. Her Curtains? $52,701."



But the original story included a comment from a spokesperson for Haley who said plans to purchase the curtains were made during the end of the Obama administration and that Haley had no say in the purchase.

The story drew significant backlash on social media, prompting editors to review it. Following review, The Times concluded that the story had "created an unfair impression about who was responsible for the purchase in question


Its really ashame and a sham people continue to believe the New York Times is unbiased. Folks the proof is in the pudding...couple more stories of NYT biased and walking back shit

Re: Media Bias

I know we mostly all agree that there is bias in CNN/Fox News, but leading up to the election the spin on both sides is not just oozing it's flooding both their front pages.
Samples right now:
assorted CNN front page headlines: 45 bizarre lines from Trumps last speech, Why Trump doesn't want to punish Saudis, Beta O'rourke supports impeaching Trump
not one positive spin headline towards republican or conservatives

assorted Fox front page headlines: Gray Lady Gripes - Unpopular Clinton told to be quiet by NYT board member, Texas Dems accused of asking non-citizens to vote
not one positive spin headline toward democrat or liberals.

Maybe this is just me, but it's frustrating that short of Reuters there just is no balanced news anymore. I mean I watch both sides, and I try to be objective, but I know I'm not. I just wish there were some journalists and media sources that you knew you could trust to be objective and present both sides fairly pro and con.

This is the type of reporting I ignore ,from everyone .It's the mid terms and between this type of political reporting and the Ads my TV remote is getting a workout.

Re: Media Bias

Good story pertaining to people who are mostly blogger types being touted as real Media and how the MSM gets the blame. Has to do with a phony photo of the trump/cruz rally . The very last sentence is for Chico.

NOT REAL NEWS: Photo of large crowd not taken at Trump rally
Associated Press AMANDA SEITZ,Associated Press 9 hours ago
Reactions Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet Email

In this June 22, 2016 photo, the crowd wait in the parade route in downtown Cleveland to celebrate the Cavaliers basketball team's NBA championship. This photo showing a crowd of nearly one million people engulfing major roadways was not taken during a President Donald Trump rally in Houston this week, as several people falsely claimed on social media.But the image circulating on social media was snapped in June 2016 during a million-person parade that took place in downtown Cleveland to celebrate the Cavaliers' NBA championship. Using a drone, Bruce Bishop and Matt Mishak took the photo while covering the event for the Chronicle-Telegram, a newspaper in Elyria, Ohio. (Bruce Bishop/Elyria Chronicle-Telegram via AP)
A photo showing a crowd of nearly one million people engulfing major roadways was not taken during President Donald Trump's rally in Houston this week, as several people falsely claimed on social media.

The president stopped in Houston Monday to stump for Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, as part of his multi-stop tour to mobilize GOP voters ahead of the midterm elections. Trump held the event at the 19,000-seat Toyota Center , where crowds gathered outside hours prior to his speech.

But the image circulating on social media was snapped in June 2016 during a million-person parade that took place in downtown Cleveland to celebrate the Cavaliers' NBA championship. Using a drone, Bruce Bishop and Matt Mishak took the photo while covering the event for the Chronicle-Telegram, a newspaper in Elyria, Ohio.

City and team leaders estimated more than one million people attended the day's celebration of the NBA title, which marked an end to Cleveland's 52-year championship drought.

Bishop confirmed to The Associated Press that he took the photo of the crowds, on the corner of Ninth Street and Lakeside Avenue in the city's downtown. The image was used for the newspaper's website and Bishop sent a tweet of the picture on June 22, 2016.

This is not the first time the photo has been falsely identified as being from a Trump rally. The Chronicle-Telegram reiterated the photo's origin on its Facebook page in August 2017, after a conservative website shared the image as purporting to show a crowd of supporters awaiting Trump's arrival in Phoenix.

This is part of The Associated Press' ongoing effort to fact-check misinformation that is shared widely online, including work with Facebook to identify and reduce the circulation of false stories on the platform.

Re: Media Bias

Again someone out right lying and the Media catching it...........



https://www.marketwatch.com/story/wi...of2&yptr=yahoo


News travels fast, but fake news travels even faster, especially when there’s a political agenda attached to it.

One glaring example took place over the weekend, when someone on Twitter TWTR, -4.28% posted a photograph of an injured police officer, with a caption that he’d been “brutalized” by the migrant caravan on its way to the United States.

Soon, it would spread across the internet, as these things do. Same picture. Mostly the same caption. But, as you can see by these examples, different accounts.


Nevertheless, plenty believed it. That long list apparently includes Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who posted it on her page:
