Media Bias 2018

New year - new thread

Watch Fox or read Breitbart if you like biased news. The examples above may be silly or inconsequential but they aren't biased. Find a dictionary and learn what words mean, and why do you trolls find it necessary to clog message boards with your mostly ignorant threads? Are you paid to be a fool?

"Mr. Trump causes severe distress rather than experiencing it and has been richly rewarded, rather than punished, for his grandiosity, self-absorption and lack of empathy. It is a stigmatizing insult to the mentally ill (who are mostly well behaved and well meaning) to be lumped with Mr. Trump (who is neither).

Bad behavior is rarely a sign of mental illness, and the mentally ill behave badly only rarely. Psychiatric name-calling is a misguided way of countering Mr. Trump’s attack on democracy. He can, and should, be appropriately denounced for his ignorance, incompetence, impulsivity and pursuit of dictatorial powers.

His psychological motivations are too obvious to be interesting, and analyzing them will not halt his headlong power grab. The antidote to a dystopic Trumpean dark age is political, not psychological." Allen Frances, Coronado, Calif.

Investigate: "Figure things out for yourself. Spend more time on long articles. Subsidize investigative journalism by subscribing to print media. Realize that some of what is on the internet is there to harm you. Learn about sites that investigate propaganda campaigns (some of which comes from abroad). Take responsibility for what you communicate with others." Lesson 11 'On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century' by Timothy Snyder

It won't be changing any time soon.

The question is how willing Trump & Co are to keep stoking the fire.

 

[Sunni Man]

The looney liberal left has driven themselves into a crazed frenzy over Trump being elected president.

They are leaderless, powerless, with no direction, and their only agenda is "hate Trump".

It's such a wonderful sight......

actually you can boil the agenda down to simply hate

The Left has a new movie "Post" about the Washington Post and Watergate.
It was over 40 years ago and they are still obsessed with it.
Obama's abuse of power and corruption makes Nixon look like a cub scout, but they will never make a movie about it.
Obama used the government as political weapon against his opposition just like a third world despot would do it.
BTW Hanks and Streep ..... uuuugh

There is a real cultural aspect to the Left's fanatical hatred of Trump.
They hate the people who voted for him...... mainstream middle class people, heartland Americans, patriots, Christians, wasps, suburbanites, southerners, midwesterners...... well just average people

Why not?

It keeps the press fixated on inconsequential idiocy while they get their agenda through.

Well, just remember that they won't be able to get their agenda through if the press helps to get them voted out.

I'm horrible at political predictions, I'm just saying that this is one helluva high-wire act.

How well is the press war against him actually going?

Besides convincing the already convinced on the coasts that Trump is "teh debbil" how well is it playing out in the rest of the country?

I really don't know. The polls say it's working, but they were wrong before.

We'll know a lot more in November.

Hey thanks for making it very clear who the left wing bigot Democrats are.
BTW, educated people don't hate the rich and demand welfare.

You're right of course, so why do Trump supporters hate them so much?

What would

this clown know about education, or educated people? What this clown doesn't know could fill a library, and then some.

Educated people understand hate and love are intense emotions, educated people seek to understand and pity this life form,

but his(?) hate is pathological and based on ignorance; something educated people may be too, yet people of average intelligence and higher seek to learn - not put their head up their ass as does
