Should we shut down left-wing media?

[jc456]

Fk no,

 

[jc456]

They give the most even handed reporting of the news, with the least disrespect of the President, of any of the major news outlets. They have a left leaning slant in the issues they choose to cover, but I have never heard a single one of them foaming at the mouth about the President or Republicans, not even their guests.
You would be shooting the wrong folks here.

No they don't give anything closely resembling even handed.
The only reason you believe that is because they are in the pockets of the democrat party.
here's something to think about when one side of the political spectrum says the media is partisan and all they report is what you agree with is the time you should question what they are reporting.

Good point. The news isn't to be "agreed with" or not, it simply is. The analysis is what you meant.

of course.....
how news is PRESENTED can contain biases.....

where CNN might say "LBGT activists achieved a landmark victory with marital rights"

fox news might say "IMMORAL God hating perverts continue to attack the constitution and attack our rights"

CNN is more likely to do a headline like this: “Portland advocacy group encounters violence during peaceful protest” FOX: ANTIFA assaults pedestrians for crossing the street”.

"CNN is more likely to do a headline like this: “Portland advocacy group encounters violence during peaceful protest” FOX: ANTIFA assaults pedestrians for crossing the street”.

exactly!

If a conservative tried to run over a peaceful liberal protestor FOX news would say "ANTIFA ATTACKS peaceful conservative demonstrators car! Does severe damage to car!"

Name the advocacy group

Lately the Democratic party and "left" wing media has been used for the purposes of rabble rousing, inciting violence, and perpetuating misinformation to the uneducated Demographic.

This could give as a good case for repealing the First Amendment, or using the state's power to shut down Democratic media, including social media which incites violence and anarchy.

In practice, I don't think it would be too easy to do - the government could simply shut down TV and radio such as the Colbert Report, NPR, as well as social media outlets such as YouTube channels which incite violence, hatred, and immorality in the lowest common denominator.

In practice, most of their "rights" are imaginary anyway, and are merely fed to them via their misinformation outlets by rabble rousers - simply shut them all down, and remind the Democratic party and it's mouth-breading demographic of their rightful place under the state's hierarchy.

As an example, anyone who uses the term "white supremacist", "Nazi", or "fascist" could be profiled by the FBI and the CIA, given that anarchist groups have abused this term. (Much as how actual white supremacy groups may be being monitored as well).

No. We need as much free speech as possible.....the conservatives are now trying to catch up......

As Rob Schneider states....you either believe all speech should be free or you believe in no free speech...

NPR and PBS, at a minimum, need to have their funding from taxpayers ceased. These entities generate millions from donations. Taking taxpayer money for Left Wing propaganda is an insult.

Yes...cut off NPR and PBS.......Sesame Street pays for them many times over....

Per originalism, the 1st Amendment is not absolute, it does not technically give you the right to use "fighting words", or yell "fire" in a movie theater.

Most people's "rights" are a figment of their imagination, or misinformation which they consume.

And since people of the more virtuous persuasion tend to produce more actual "speech" to begin with, and less noise, lies, and hot air, I'm tempted to believe that they should have more rights to speech than the immoral and uneducated.

Wrong...you can use those words but if they end up violating the actual rights of others you can be sued or arrested........you must commit a crime first, there isn't a Pre-crime approach.

Absolutely cannot be shut-down. I understand your aggravation with their persistent lying but that is not how this country operates nor should operate. The left's propaganda machine is struggling to keep their lights on because Americans vote with our feet and our dollars and we have many media options from which to choose.

I'm not fond of Trump's anti-Amazon rhetoric, for example.

Fox News is center-left on the political spectrum, if anything.

We don't have an actual right wing party, as per traditional conservatism, just a center left party (Republicans) and a crazy party (Democrats). Nor does Europe - a handful of crazy parties, and a few "conservative" ones, which are more centrist or center-left than anything.

Face it, now that Shep Smith has departed, the ONLY Fox regular who could be considered a "journalist" with centrist positions is Chris Wallace.

• Overall, we rate Fox News strongly Right-Biased due to editorial positions and story selection that favors the right. We also rate them Mixed factually based on poor sourcing and the spreading of conspiracy theories that later must be retracted after being widely shared. Further, Fox News would be rated a Questionable source based on numerous failed fact checks by hosts and pundits.

Right, the website in question has its own bias (the sources deemed "least biased", such as Christian Science Monitor tell you what it's using as its reference point), as I presume any website does, though it is at least up-front about its methodologies.

It deems CNN and MSNBC strongly left-biased, as well as host of other sources in question, much as it is biased toward "mainstream" media in general, as opposed to "newer" media such as Wikipedia, "RationalWiki", and others. Most media, 'left or right' is a poor intellectual substitute for reading books, and this is no open secret.

In regards to "conspiracy theories", not all conspiracy theories are "absurd", as in "alien NWO lizardman", nor are the wrong - Watergate was a conspiracy theory, much as the allegations of Trump colluding with Russia are - so it would be interesting to see what its methodologies for describing conspiracy theories, and the counter-arguments it is using against them are.
