Media Bias
Quote:
Lol. Im not doubting it at all. Media outlets are still run by a human who has his or her own views/agenda. But thats the point. Ultimately its one persons views. Not mine. Edit: im in no way saying you are wrong. Didn't mean to come across that way. You are 100% right. Think for yourself and to hell with the media. |

17 wounded, 4 dead in shootings on Friday in Chicago. But you won't hear it about, no police involved, no protest marches.

Re: Media Bias
Search CNN - Videos, Pictures, and News - CNN.com
Search | MSNBC Noticed today several media outlets reporting on what a flop the movie Ghostbusters is...to the tune of 70 million. ouch. Ive noticed that CNN nor MSNBC isn't running the story anywhere...but if you click the link above you notice the over reporting and editorials about Ghostbusters as the movie was being promoted. Strange, all those stories about 1 movie. Many of these articles publishing opinions such as if you don't like the new ghostbusters movie, idea, etc then your a sexist. Because remember if you don't agree or even just 1 reservations...then your an asshole essentially. Your not allowed to disagree in this new world. It just striking, why in the fucking world would a supposed news org be so interested in such a dumb movie? Lets admit...dumb idea, bad cast, bad acting and bad movie...right? And when the numbers back it up today...its not reported. Strange how the liberal media works. When you search Suicide Squad for MSNBC...not one article...

Re: Media Bias
the Tumblr account just-shower-thoughts is one of those throwaway one liner type accounts, but it does push out some unique thoughts from time to time. A few sample ones:
"American journalism has gotten to the point that readers are criticized for not fact checking news articles" "Americans are worried about violence in Rio yet 19 people were shot in Chicago today and I see little coverage of it" (not sure of post date, but does it matter?) "Every Olympic event should have one average person competing for reference" "I live in a country that argues over whether a certain person should be the most powerful person in the country or be in prison" |

Re: Media Bias
It's all fine and dandy to say "people need to think for themselves" but the reality is that good journalism is a key component of a successful and enduring democracy. Once our society loses its only tool for keeping our elected officials and unelected bureaucrats in check then we've lost democracy. I think it's pretty ironic that in some ways, during this age of information overload, many people operate within our democracy with even less information than ever before. i suspect you'll find very few people who wouldn't agree that the state of journalism in our country is at an all time low.

First, it doesn't bother me she is saying it becuase she is hurting. She lost a brother which is tragic. At the same time I would ask her and her family, what did you do to stop your brother/son from leading a life of crime? This guy was a flat-out dangerous piece of crap and was armed to the teeth at the time of getting killed. He made extremely poor choices which lead to his death. His wrap sheet is quite extensive: Man killed by Milwaukee police had lengthy record " Smith had been in trouble with the law dating back at least to 2011, according to arrest records released by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office late Sunday. He was arrested or ticketed nine times in that period — for the shooting, a robbery, carrying a concealed weapon, theft, possession of heroin and more. His most recent arrest was July 22 for possession of cocaine, records show. Last year, Smith was charged with first-degree recklessly endangering safety and with witness intimidation, but the charges were dismissed, court records show." This guy isn't the flag bearer of any movement.

Re: Media Bias
New York Times Gave Hillary Veto Power | LifeZette
clear as day, Clinton campaign allowed to pic and chose content of the media: The email exchange also indicates that Palmieri misunderstood the terms of the agreement. She wrote that she thought the campaign would be able to pick the quotes that would be used. Leibovich responded, "I wanted the option to use all — and you could veto what you didn't want. That's why I selected the 5 or 6 I sent to you...The moose is good, but I'd really love to use the other things I sent, too. They were all on point. Sorry for mis-communique here, but do you think you can check?" Palmieri seemed satisfied. "Pleasure doing business!" she wrote sad...zero ethics and completely biased. Now ny times is suppose to be a leader in journalism...how is this appropriate? Inexcusable

Re: Media Bias
https://www.yahoo.com/news/cnn-cuts-...183855590.html
CNN quietly cut ties with Donna Brazile, the acting Democratic National Committee chair and a longtime contributor on the cable news network, after hacked emails published by WikiLeaks revealed that she had provided questions to the Hillary Clinton campaign in advance of a town hall and debate hosted by CNN during the Democratic primary. Unbelievable folks. People should be upset

Re: Media Bias
I know it's hard to separate the political out of the media bias question, but I am hoping anyone who replies to this will try to. (I'm also hoping SM will stop drinking, and DS will become the best owner ever)
Take this headline displayed on yahoo, and from abcnews top stories: Quote:

Quote:
My question is - do you think the headline gives an accurate summary of his statement? Everyone knows I feel there is a distinct bias, and I believe that this type of, imo, blatant emotion molding headline plays a big part of that. Just a discussion for a cold dreary dismal day and the day after a dismal opening to FA |
