    Fake news, which the bulk of the MSM counts on to survive, is the enemy of the people.

    Lying, manipulating, presenting quotes and soundbites out of context, are all hallmarks of the minute by minute dog whistles the left's media partners engage in.

    That is a serious problem. It doesn't matter what slant a news source takes, the fact is any slant is an attack on truth.

    much of our news media is undeniably tainted.

    and they did it to themselves....they decided long ago that it was more important to align themselves with a party and advance party agenda than simply report the news, and now they're being hammered for it by The President of The United States of America...

    and unfortunately for the GlobalistMarxistHumanistProgressiveSJW set, it's resonating (while the whiny protestations by Acosta, Rather, et al, are being mercilessly mocked)

    which all means...

    leftists are in heap big trouble.

    heap big.

    BS back at you.

    I've been around a long time, and I've never seen the media operate from such a biased and objective driven position.

    Context doesn't exist in the left's media. It's all about click bait and dog whistles. Geeze, the Podesta email revealed the collusion.

    Even the NYT had a brief moment of clarity when it was binding it's wounds after their total embarasement of Hillary's loss.

    Journalists have published opinion pieces explaining their bias.

    News trackers have shown the MSM has spent 90% of their broadcast reports on negative Trump news. And it's bullshit that such a focus is warranted.

    So don't try to suggest their isn't a bias in the MSM. It's documented, admitted to, and confirmed.

    Geeze, the left looses it's mind over Fox, yet ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, etc., operate the same way, just for the left, rather than Fox for the right.

    Probably because Fox gave thousands of hours of hearing time to Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck to promote birtherism... of which Trump was a fervent believer by the way.

    The MSM will have no choice but to admit that Trump is always telling the truth when he shows that he was wiretap at the Trump Tower, that the FBI placed an undercover agent during his campaign, that the unemployment rate under Obama was 42%, that he was unaware that Cohen had bought the silence of his mistresses... and all the other stuff.

    Nothing. In the US, the 1st Amendment allows ideologically focused people to create fake news.

    In the end, what everyone should do is take the headlines and opinions masquerading as body of story, and if it's important enough, look into themselves.

    If it's a quote from the President the left's media wolves are trying to generate revenue with, then find the complete video. Find the complete transcript. That way the context of any given statement can be learned.

    If enough people stand up to what the media is doing, they just might change their ways.

    I doubt it, because ever since the media went "attack Trump 24/7", they've staved off bankruptcy and oblivion. Look up the pre and post Trump fortunes of the MSM if you want evidence.

    So that’s 2hrs of a 24hr day. Now compare that with 24/7 negative CNN coverage? Constant negative coverage from every source. It’s about the volume. Fox was biased against OBama, but it was mostly the pundits who did the blabbering and they’re paid to give their opinion. The news was quite even handed. The MSM doesn’t report anything anymore. They are just 24/7 commentary. It’s just not news anymore. Even when they attempt to report there’s this leftist spin that makes it negative no matter how positive it really is.

    It’s just a pathetic joke and they all deserve it.

    Kind of irresponsible of you, isnt it? I mean, if something is the enemy of the people you take steps to neutralize/minimize it, right?
    And there is no MSM. Lumping in every news (entertainment) source that you don't like into a neat little package that you can club with bumper sticker slogans is lazy.

    I know. Suddenly, now just yelling at someone from across the street is considered a violent attack by some people.

    Never once on here have I suggested there isn't a bias against Donald Trump on most regular news... I also think he brings most of it on himself... I believe many intelligent, well-read people finding out what this person says and thinks and tweets are going to have a natural bias against that. I sure as hell do, being an intelligent, well-read American.

    But, Bias is nowhere near Fake News... whatever the hell that even means.... does the media make mistakes in this 24x7 world? Sure... is any of it intentional?? Perhaps an article here or there, but about the smallest pct you can come up with that's greater than zero.

    I remember when Trump finally published his "Fakies" earlier this year.... a list of typos and empty stadium pictures and bad predictions, most of which were corrected within hours... I debated that entire list with somebody on here and I could only come up with one video from his list that was clearly edited to make Trump look bad - The one where it showed Trump firing a whole container of fish food FIRST into the pond in Japan, where the actual event was Trump following Abe doing that... That was Fake News (even though he DID dump his food), and still to this day the only true example I've seen... And if that's the type of thing that's going to get him upset about Fake News, he's a bigger snowflake than I ever believed...

    If you really think this report provides solid links between media reporting and violent attacks then perhaps your credibility is the issue.

    LOL

    Geeze, I'm sure if you put some thought into, you could come up with something better than your first paragraph. Talk about lazy.

    But no MSM? Now that's a claim I haven't read before. Not sure where you think you're going with that, but I think I'll let that one blow away with the wind.

    Since your just reacting without much thought, allow me to point out that I've not lumped anyone. My statements involve all media. Left, right, center.

    People need to be aware that news is entertainment to it's producers. It's just a means to make money. To make money, they play to an audience. If you think that's not the case, I don't know how to help you.

    So under Obama, Fox was racist 10% of the time.

    And I bet you don't think it's much.

    The job of journalists - those with integrity - is to correct the facts.

    Trump is a pathological liar. So correcting what a demagogue tells takes as long as the number of times the lie is repeated.

    Of course, I don't expect a Trumpist like you to recognize him. I'm not an idiot.

    You live in a parallel reality where Trump is the victim of the media, the left, the FBI, the Deep State and the RINO... Which is a lot of people.

    But when Trump will be out of the White House, and the sooner the better, I predict that the vast majority of people who blindly supported him will be ashamed.

    Actually I would bet it's well over 500 Trump supporters who were attacked.

    Attacking the business of a Trump supporter (arson, smashing windows) and torching or vandalizing the car of a Trump supporters is a violent attack on a Trump supporter.

    At one Trump rally back in 2016 over a hundred cars were vandalized including a dozen cop cars by anti-Trump protesters paid for by the DNC.

    After the rally scores were physically attacked who were walking back to their cars.

    Below just from one anti Trump riot in Costa Mesa, Ca. May, 2016.

    It's my opinion your bias is not allowing you to see how intentional the media is when creating topics to attract an audience.

    I couldn't begin to guess how many news articles I've commented on here that were bogus. I've done that by providing the transcripts to show what the media is reporting, and what was actually said in context, were two completely different things.

    The media has access to the same stuff I do, so why do they so consistently eliminate context and background from their hit pieces?

    You can think as you like, but I'm never going to change what I've seen with my own eyes and ears.

    People need to take what is reported with a grain of salt, until they can prove to themselves what the real truth is.

    Yeah, I’m looking at the list of attacks from Tr’s article (criticizing media bias with a Breitbart article; hehe... nothing ironic about this thread), and I see Corey Booker with his very so violent attack when he stated anyone who doesn’t oppose Kavanaugh is complicit in evil.

    Please. Get a life, people. The current crop of “conservatives” have shown to be such snowflakes, they make millenials look badass.

    No. They weren’t racist at all. Actually the reality is that people were scared for their careers and relationships so they voted for Trump without voicing their opinions in far greater numbers than anyone thought.

    Trump is a victim of media bias and scorn. It’s documented fact. The strange reality you
    live in, is in your own head and shared by other lunatic leftists with an axe to grind.

    By the way I never voted for him.
