Corruption of the media getting worse and worse

[DutchJazzer]

We saw the bias of the main media outlets during election night. I switched among all the major players and the shock and dismay and outright disbelief that Hilary wasn't just winning in a landslide was funny, but the mean-spirited and downright demeaning reactions once it was clear trump would win were the full exposure of the left bias. CNN brought in their green room pundits, all were demo strategists of one kinds or another, to start bashing trump voters with nary a single conservative to balance the commentary. Same things happened on the major TV networks and others like CNBC. The total meltdown was hilarious in the extreme and blatantly bald-faced leftist commentary and bull ****. Most didn't even have a minor pretense of balanced reporting.

The lone difference, weirdly enough, was Fox who had 2 or 3 Democrat pundits in addition to their Cadre of right wingers.

but fox is evil! thats hat obama said. trump won because of fox.


the collective meltdown was epic. and then some had gall to say they where sorry after that nigh and are gonna be more blanced. only to swing even further left was the point i dont watch those anymore!

Denier of bias

BASS denitrification

 

[DutchJazzer]

It is entertaining that some people do not understand the difference between news pieces/segments/shows and opinion pieces/segments/shows.

fact is even in the news pieces/segments and shows there is EXTREME LEFT WING BIAS!

and there is ONLY left wing related opinion pieces/segments and shows on those networks

NOT a single right wing opinion since tucker Carlson got fired.

You can keep saying that but your claims do not make it a fact. Please post some facts and we can discuss them. Although I guess if you use all caps and exclamation marks it might make it a fact...


By the way welcome back to the Jazz bandwagon. I seem to remember you giving up on the Jazz and saying you were only here to post in the general threads.

You posting your opinion or someone elses opinion on the matter doesnt equal facts either. Neither do those "studies". Those same people could very well have their own bias.

But seriously. You cant really try to argue that there isnt a left wing bias. There clearly is. So really, thats how I know those "studies" are full of crap. Anyone trying to argue there isnt one is either dumb or lying. Its the same as trying to say fox isnt right leaning.

I actually pointed that out because I think Fox is relentlessly one sided but at least they are open about it. Then during the election melt down Fox is the only one showing any form of bipartisanship. It was kind of surreal.

they have juan williams, geraldo rivera, and lots of other liberals.

Yes.

Solid argument. How did you come to figure the media was biased? Did you read the studies? Some of those have been repeated by other groups with the same result. You could repeat the study and get the same result. It's not someone's opinion. I can post a lot more if you want...

I'm happy to look at any evidence you post. To my knowledge you have never posted actual evidence. You have set beliefs that you stick to based on your opinion and anecdotal evidence. When faced with real evidence you pass it off and make sweeping statements.

Let me get this straight.

Some feel that the media has a left wing bias to it.

So, they try to find news in other sources. They have found some sources, that tell them what they want to hear, and some of those sources are so blatantly wrong most of the time...so you stick with them?

Why?

Like I've said before, I used to be totally into all that right wing stuff. Take a step back. Think about what they are saying. It's ridiculous. Use your brain. Vote in your best interest.

Doesn't sound very straight. Sounds like a healthy dose of spin. Basically you're saying that you don't agree with what the right wing news sites say so they are obviously ridiculous and stupid.

I think what he's actually saying is that he started out with a strong lean to the right, and listened to right-wing media almost exclusively, and eventually had a moment of clarity and realized that what he was listening to was making no attempt whatsoever to be intellectually honest, just serving as an echo chamber. That's what I'm hearing, anyway.

It's a recovering addict of one authoritarian management team locking into another one.
No sense evaluating objectivity in sources that do no investigative journalism in the first place.

Your studies are bull crap. Let me change the goalposts an measure something to prove my point.

Exactly. When the liberals tell you are racist for not voting Obama, xenophobic, homophobic, attack your religion an PUSH FOR SHARIAH LAW IN MUSLIM COMMUNITIES, it is natural reaction to circle the wagons to defend your lives.

Maybe if liberals stopped catering to foreign influences an telling Americans there way of life needs to be destroyed the Fox News crowd would not exist. You created President Trump not the locals so deal with it an Fox News bias.

Liberals: "you conservatives are dumb, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, and sexist."

Conservatives: "oh ya? Well we just elected Donald Trump to stick it to ya, so there. What do you think about that?"

Liberals: "we underestimated you. You are dumber and more racist, sexist, xenophobic, and homophobic than we thought."


Lol

It almost seems like people voted for trump just to teach others a lesson.

Well I think a lesson that was learned is that people are dumb enough to cut off their nose to spite their face.

Lol

You are exactly right an maybe you get the point. Do not attack people an maybe they will not bunker down. D

It's ironic parody. The fact that it's not recognized as such is also indicative of further irony of the OP and national narrative.

sometimes in a war you cant win, so some people turn to mutually assured destruction.
being called a racist xenophobe homophobe etc etc for years showed right wingers they just cant win, and will always be called that, so we took those terms as a badge of honor. and just go out and vote!


ps i did not vote of course. never voted for in MY life. i think voting is an act of real violence even if the candidates where Jesus and Buddha himself. i still think its an act of violence to vote!

but i am seriously on the fence voting for the right wing party here. just ecause standing by did nothing but get us liberal policies that are leading to misery and death around here.

got till about march to decide will see if i vote for the right wing party
