Leftist attacks Conservative on UC Berkeley Campus

[Alfalfa]

I feel like you don't watch much PBS. Please post an example of a conservatively biased story from that network.

Does that mean something racist and idiotic? I doubt you'll find it.

No it does not, but I am not even slightly surprised by your typical leftist attacks.

I am not surprised at all with you saying the word leftist. I expect you have a follow up that calls me a socialist?

That would depend upon the policies that you support.

Can you show any examples of CNN handling a conservative story in this way. Again and again and again, through administration after administration, their coverage is heavily weighted to the left. They have a liberal slant and it is extreme. The fact that you can't see it is amazing.

When Rand Paul was attacked by his neighbor, that was covered regularly. What's an incident you thought was buried?

Ive never singled out ABC. Funny that you recognize them as liberal media. Lol

So they are good news to you?

You are talking about a non-political attack of a person who happens to be conservative. I think the coverage of the Covington High School situation is a perfect example of the way they approach stories in which they see a political angle. CNN can be counted on to come at every such story with a strong liberal bias.

Being less biased than MSNBC is like being less crapily managed than the Sacramento Kings. Virtually everyone can accomplish that.

Fox doesn't.

The selectively edited video was cute, but I don't recall anyone saying CNN never has liberal commentators. It also has conservative commentators, and I could do a similar piece on CNN commentators expressing conservative views.

So, which story do you think was not covered that should have been? Are there a dearth of liberals attacking well-known conservatives to report?

You mean, by running with the initial story too quickly and then publishing corrections, like like any news outfit with a bias towards sensationalism would have done?

While there may be a dearth of attacks on well-known conservatives, there is not one on run-of-the-mill conservatives. CNN never brings those to our attention. They are all over the Jessie Smoleck type attacks, though. If the president says something mean to a protester at one of his rallies they replay that repeatedly. If a black man gets shot by a cop they almost always weigh in with a story, even if there is no time to get the actual facts.

I can show you many examples of CNN making this sort of a mistake with a liberal bias. I am unaware of any with a conservative bias. Do you know of any?

Grats on one bad video lol.

This has been covered repeatedly on here. We disagree. No CNN isn’t overly liberal. There’s even a damn chart somewhere.

I think it's because liberals do a very good job of making people believe that their emotional based appeal is actually an intellectual based appeal. Liberals are also very skilled at shaming people for having conservative opinions. Many conservatives are cautious about expressing their real political opinions in public because they don't enjoy being called racist or having their intelligence and morals questioned, especially when they know that these attacks are not even remotely related to the reasons that they hold the opinions that they do. This is one reason that the conservative vote often turns out to be larger than polling numbers indicate.

Maybe so. Could be that liberals believe in things that might be better for the world though too. Like inclusion vs division, equality vs inequality, science in things like vaccines and global warming vs crackpots on the internet.

Then you have Trump who seems to hate liberals and has kind of become symbolic unfortunately for the other side. When Trump is the symbol for conservatives it's kinda hard not to lean away from him.....
