10. After Donald Trumps underdog victory, many in the media looked for scapegoats. But Comedy Centrals Samantha Bee went the furthest blaming white people for ruining America. 9. Hillary notoriously avoided direct questions from the press all year. So when Lester Holt became one of the few to somehow score a sit down with Mrs. Clinton, his softballs-only interview was journalistically humiliating. 8. Cubas long time dictator expired this year, and many in Americas media mourned. 7. Perhaps not historically significant, but a particularly comical case of media malpractice came when an enchanted Andrea Mitchell breathlessly recapped the magical evening she was having at a Hillary rally. 6. Over on PBS, David Brooks and David Corn somehow connected the dots between Ted Cruz and Satan. 5. After the devastating mass slaughter in Orlando, the media embraced its unfortunate habit of speculating where things went wrong looking everywhere, it seemed, besides Islamic terrorism. 4. After another tragedy this time an alligator snatching a toddler from a Disney World beachfront CNNs Brooke Baldwin thankfully had the presence of mind to ask a local animal expert what the alligator was thinking. 3. On MSNBC, the now-canceled Melissa Harris Perry worried that Flint, Mich., might become Obamas Fugitive Slave Act? 2. After Orlando, many progressive congressmen staged a sit-in on the floor of the House of Representatives. The media, you might be unsurprised to discover, went absolutely bananas with delight. 1. If there was one thing the media was absolutely sure of in 2016, it was Hillary Clintons inevitable landslide victory. Whoops. Link The site nailed it. 2016 was the confirmation of the death of journalism. 90% of the "journalists" are just left wing propagandists with an agenda. Their agenda is primary, whatever event or person they are "reporting on" is secondary to fit within their agenda.
And that is why their public approval level is in a near tie with convicted child rapists. IMO that's too high and I think they polled the direct family members of democrats posing as reporters to get such a high number.
After another tragedy — this time an alligator snatching a toddler from a Disney World beachfront — CNN’s Brooke Baldwin thankfully had the presence of mind to ask a local animal expert … what the alligator was thinking maybe Brooke should have interviewed the alligator, I watch CNN occasionally just for giggles. During the Zimmerman trial at one point Ashley Bancroft described a cross examination of a witness by Bernie de la Rionda as brilliant. There was another lady lawyer sitting with her that remarked something along the line of "Ashley you are the only lawyer in America who thinks that". The look on Bancrofts face was priceless. The other lawyer was not there the next day
` ` Over at Fox news; a) the Megyn Kelly gambit, b) sexual harassment suits and c) the fall of Roger Ailes.
Great insider drama but not really about news coverage. Well maybe the "Megyn Kelly gambit" is. I assume you are referring to Kelly's attempted hit jobs on Trump.
Not in the same universe of non stop hit jobs on Trump, while licking the boots of Hillary that the rest of the news media has made their 24/7 coverage of. As Lil Mike just pointed out, insider drama certainly. But not journalistic malpractice. Maybe Megyn "I dress like a skank" Kelly could be thrown in with the anti Trump train though. PS. Tucker Carlson has a hell of a good show at 7pm!
` This is what the topic is; The Media’s 10 Most Mortifying Moments of 2016. At best, it's subjective as everyone sees "mortifying" in their own perspective. For those who saw Roger Ailes as a saint and where shocked that he and Fox engaged in sexual harassment for so long, this was mortifying. ` ` ` ` ` `
Who saw Ailes as "a Saint"?? He's not even on camera, and I bet most people have no clue who he is. This is about the well lubed circle fest in a phone booth between the democrats and their throne sniffing, boot licks with press passes. A truly pathetic bunch of people who were it not for double standards, would have no standards at all.
` So, what you are saying is that this thread is, in reality, nothing more than a rant against what the posters see as "liberal bias"? The title is just a guise, no doubt.
It's not just a "liberal bias" at this point. I think even those who don't follow news/politics like we do see that by now. The libs with press passes are out of the closet, naked, and holding a bucket of lube kneeling before the nearest elected democrat. I think it's only appropriate that we mock them relentlessly for it. The title of this thread is just a list of top 10 things they have said/reported. What is not said often, but is even more important about the media is: The biggest power the news media has, is the power to ignore certain things. You're not seriously defending these boot licks are you?
For starters, I don't see the media as left or right....conservative or liberal. Six corporations own about 90% (source) of the media. Profit is more important than ideology and controlling such information, is in their own best interest, not the public's.
If profit was more important then ideology to them, they wouldn't alienate and insult 1/2 of the people in the country by being democrats full time, and "reporters" in their make believe world instead. I'm surprised you're refusing (I say refusing as I think you do see it, just don't want to type) to see just how utterly pathetic the boot licks have become.
He was the head of the Republican party. He drove the conversation and Republican politicians feared him. But he finally lost control to an even bigger scum bag, Trump.
No, he was not, is not, and never will be the head of the republican (or democrat for that matter) party. Try again. Your first attempt crashed and burned prior to take off.
Yes, and the interesting thing is that it wasn't even close victory for Trump. The gap between them is 77 electoral votes. How could it be that all of the polls and media were predicting an easy victory for Hillary?
They were pushing that narrative to crush the spirit and turn out of the Trump voters. The U.S. Media and the Liberal ideology is pretty evil.
. Yes he was. Fox Noise was Republican Central and the origin of the insanely dangerous ideology that has emerged. Fox Noise created infotainment with Aile's mouthpieces posing as journalists. And even leading politicians were afraid of Fox. The entire party was just an extension of whatever Ailes wanted. They were puppets. And Fox Noise was the womb for the Tea Party. They made the Tea Party.
What's "Fox Noise"? I can't seem to find that. Nor can I find Ailes as the head of the RNC anywhere. Try again cupcake.
