The Left Controls the Media

[daveman]

"insanity" : mental illness of such a severe nature that a person cannot distinguish fantasy from reality, cannot conduct her/his affairs due to psychosis, or is subject to uncontrollable impulsive behavior.

Sounds like the far left to me.

 

[Uncensored2008]

My definition of insane mostly includes people that base their foundation and input on make believe....AKA fantasy/hallucination/delusion.

I'm not a democrat...and your assuming that does not make it so.

So who do you want to win the presidential election?

 

[easyt65]

Like a true socialist puppet / socialist govt, Biden wants nothing but propaganda media and no question regarding his failed Presidency.

This is just standard rightwing poisoning of the well. Proclaim propublica a tool of the left, and then summarily dismiss any work they do as biased.

Basically. Rightwing propaganda 101.

Note: Screeching NUH UH I DON'T LIKE IT THEREFORE ITS NOT TRUE is not a rational argument.

The Pro-Republican News Media

The concept of the Liberal Media is a myth and has always been a myth.
The various news media are clearly and unmistakably Pro-Republican.

Only twice since 1932 have a majority of newspapers endorsed the Democratic candidate

The Pro-Republican News Media

The media are controlled by the profit motive, nothing more.

Charts ending 1996? SERIOUSLY Nazi?

And now for something a little more up to date:

Fact check: Do 97 percent of journalist donations go to Democrats?​

According to Juliana Heerschap, Brat's communications director, the congressman was referring to an analysis by the Center for Public Integrity (CPI), which examined donations by journalists to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton during the presidential primaries and the first month of the 2016 general election campaign.[2] CPI reported that more than 96 percent of those donations were made to Clinton.[3][4][5]

Ballotpedia also reviewed three other analyses. The Center for Responsive Politics found that 65 percent of contributions from those identified as journalists went to Democrats in the 2010 election cycle.[6] An analysis by MSNBC.com found that 87 percent of the 143 donors (who made contributions from 2004 through the start of the 2008 campaign) gave to Democrats or liberal causes.[7] The Media Research Center found that 94 percent of donors affiliated with five news outlets also contributed to Democrats between 2008 and 2016.[8]

Reporters and editors from the New York Times to the Los Angeles Times have been donating money in Election 2020, and Democrats are getting most of it.​

• Most journalists don't make political contributions. But among those who do, they almost always give to Democrats.
• Following Insider's questions, at least two news organizations have either suspended or reassigned reporters and editors found to have given political candidates cash.

News media endorsements in the 2020 United States presidential primaries​

Synopsis:
Biden, 13 endorsements
Bloomberg, 5
Buttigieg, 4
Klobuchar, 14
Sanders, 17
Warren, 6
Yang, 2
Trump, 2
Weld, 2

So, in total, Democrats got 61 endorsements from news media, Republicans got 4.

C_Clayton_Jones, this is where you'd feel like an idiot if you had any self-awareness.​
