Re: Media Bias

But shouldnt the media be presenting important information in a neutral manor and let the public decide? This is what the question is...the media should not be influencing the public by pompous sensationalize reporting that is mostly based on opinion and not facts. Plus using non-verified sources or just using anonymous sources seems like it leaves a lot of facts unchecked and assumptions to be made...

It's a fact the mainstream media is staunchly bias in this case.

To a trump supporter any site is a "trash site" unless it follows the book of trump so the cult can follow.

I asked this question before and I will ask it again,what "MSM(main stream media) will you accept?Name the "news organization" you will listen to?
I also didn't get an answer about FOX reporting bad news on Trump 52% of the time,HELL .............even they know they can't keep the lies up anymore!

That sounds nice but in reality media organizations exist to make money and as long as that is the case they will pick and choose the angle to report.

Also, we need to start separating credible places like the AP and Reuters from media that tries to pass op-eds off like they're actually news. The lines between news and opinions are being intentionally blurred because they are getting results. Yeah, I get my news from MSNBC, but I stick to articles they are publishing that were written by the AP or another credible company like Reuters.

Every single article was a negative article about Trump.

So what you're saying is, if Trump says something, or signs yet another bill/executive order, that's not news? Or the media shouldn't report it when he signs a bill or does something that directly contradicts something he said when Obama was president?

No, thats not what I'm saying.
I'm saying that wasnt a credible news website.
I dont even know if I'd call it news.
It reads more like a John Podesta/Wolf Blitzer blog.

I'm not gonna defend that website considering I don't consider them a reputable source either. But this convo sounds like the lines are being blurred between that site and the credible ones. But then again, the only credible ones nowadays are the AP/Reuters/maybe a couple others.

Ok so you agree it's not the messenger but the message that is the problem and that falls on Trump.

LOL....no, I dont agree at all.
I totally support how Trump treats the media.
The problem falls on the media.
See previous posts where I state that the left driven media sucks red baboon ass.
The media doesn't show up at the White House to get news.
They show up to hopefully get dirt on Trump and the Republican party.

Maybe Trump and the republican party should stop giving them the dirt(news) to write about and go about running the country instead of running a circus.

LOL, ahhh no.it wasn't until the "alternative facts" crew took hold and started screaming fake news that the media was question .Thank God the media has stood firm in the unrelentless coverage of the Tangerine buffoon in the white house.It's their job to question the President and that is what they do.
