The media has always been a political force in this country.
The 1st Amendment's freedom of the press is there to protect opinion more than to protect reporting the news.
Get over it.
I wonder if they even remember that ben franklin started his newspaper to convince people of the correctness of his political views.
just saying.
no doubt those lovely "constitutionalists" would limit every right except for the 2nd amendment if they could.
Prove your statement with a link please. Just your saying so doesn't make it so!
your ignorance as to history is not really my problem... although it probably is one of the root causes of the garbage you spew.
do i really need to tell you that the editorials in the courant were intended to influence people?
and correction: it was started by ben's brother... he was originally a printer's apprentice there.
but the thought that newspapers weren't intended to influence is laughable.

A professional NEWS editor calling a mortal man "sort of God"??? That's not reporting, that's gushing!
Typically defeated non-response.No, you'd see the opposite results if the bias wasn't prevalent.It sways independents who fail to vet their new sources and creates more lefties who trust what they're told.First lets admit that there is bias in news. There is bias in sports. There is bias in weather. There is bias in fashion. There is bias in where you take your car to get it serviced. There is bias in the way the teacher grades your paper. Anytime you hear Briebart or whatever that guy's name is, you discount it out of hand since it has been so obviously biased in the past.
Bias exists.
The question is this; does it sway anyone. The answer is no.
But lets entertain the OP's whine of bias. Lets say there is bias in the media. One would have to explain the "right track" polling then.
You'd have that red line (the red line isn't necessarily republicans or consea) way below the blue one (the blue one isn't necessarily democrats or liberals),
If that were the case you'd see a stair step from the lower left to the upper right.
Hilarious as always.
Even Fox is full of shit now.They cut Trump off at the knees during the first debate.It's not the msm it's reality that is against republicans.
The news can either report accurately or how you would consider fairly

lol, what does he think Thomas Paine's pamphlets were?
Journalists are not supposed to express any opinions. That's what the op-ed section is for.Bullshit! Non-lefties are ostracized by media.Too liberal for you huh? Yeah I understand.
The Main Stream Media is made up of a large number of diverse opinions. I'm sure you can find the same history elsewhere.
NO the MSM is NOT made up of diverse opinions!
Don't you read?
In 2008 85% of media donated money to Democrats!
1,160 (85%) of the 1,353 of the Senior executives, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC contributed more than $1 million to Democrats candidates and campaign committees in 2008, according to an analysis by The Examiner of data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
Obama, Democrats got 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs, writers, reporters
A specific example of how the MSM loves Democrats is this quote from the Editor of NewsWeek
COLOR="Blue"]I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God." [/COLOR]
Evan Thomas on Hardball,
Newsweek’s Evan Thomas: Obama Is ‘Sort of God’
130,213 stories can't be swept under the rug and the Democrat Bias is very clear!

Smooch: Study of 130,213 stories shows Obama bias in 2012 election
That's all by Republican/conservative choice. No one bars the Right from the media.
What's more, editors decide what makes copy.
YOU are right! Editors/producers DO determine what makes the stories that people read/see.
So explain these EDITORS/producers political position?
Here an editor of NewsWeek supposedly a "professional journalist" takes a position regarding his "job".
And of course the MSM lapped Obama up to such a degree that the Editor of NewsWeek who once was asked about Bush:
"our job is to bash the president[Bush], that's what we do." Evan Thomas responding to a question on whether the media's unfair to Bush on the TV talk show Inside Washington, February 2, 2007.He-Could-Go-All-The-Way: 'Today' Cheers Obama's Football Play
But when it came to Obama???
"I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."
Evan Thomas on Hardball, Newsweek’s Evan Thomas: Obama Is ‘Sort of God’
A professional NEWS editor calling a mortal man "sort of God"??? That's not reporting, that's gushing!
And putting THEIR money where their mouth is:

Again...prove with FACTS and links that dispute the vast majority of the MSM is biased towards the left.
Remember, your opinions are formed by information you get from these biased MSM.
At least be intellectually honest to always preface whatever you read by the filter, 85% of MSM voted with their pocketbook for Democrats!
Maybe you should get the GOP to pass a law that makes it illegal for media outlets to express any pro-Democrat opinions.
A professional NEWS editor calling a mortal man "sort of God"??? That's not reporting, that's gushing!
Puleeze...
Why? What do you know about Fox? You never watch it.News media is supposed to report and document, not funnel the story.You just perpetuated the dishonesty.OR..., the people have vetted the news and have determined that it's the right that's dishonest. You have to work for what you get. Right wing whining about the media usually amounts to "we want it because we deserve it" with very little in the way of facts to back it up.But morons who fail to vet left wing biased news just perpetuate the dishonesty.
You haven't noticed the news stories referring to repubs grilling Hillary but no mention of democrats failing to grill Hillary? You didn't see the biased misrepresentation of McCarthy's words about the effect as opposed to the reported purpose of the Benghazi investigation?
Are you saying that the media doesn't have the right to make their own decisions about what is right or wrong? The right is constantly whining about the imagined expectation of equal outcomes. Why would you demand equal outcomes when it comes to media workers right to make up their own minds? If you can't convince them that your way is right, that's your fault.....not theirs.
Tell that to fox.
Wrong. Left wing bias, largely institutional. If you're taught by left wing academics what you believe to be centered is skewed left. It's your foundation. Institutional.MSM is guided by institutional left wing bias.You use a salon link to make that point? You just dmonstrated the impact of left wing news bias.The Main Stream Media is the enemy of partisans not moderates.
The birth of Fox News sprang from Murdoch’s decision to create a television empire around sports, as he had previously in Australia and the U.K. In 1993 Fox bought the rights to broadcast the games of the NFL’s then dominant NFC division, swiping football from CBS for nearly $1.6 billion. “We’re a network now. Like no other sport will do, the NFL will make us into a real network,” Murdoch exulted to Sports Illustrated. “In the future there will be 400 or 500 channels on cable, and ratings will be fragmented. But football on Sunday will have the same ratings, regardless of the number of channels. Football will not fragment.”
He was right. And he wanted a winning weekly bookend for football to strike at another top-rated CBS program. “At that stage, Rupert Murdoch had in mind to set up a Fox News answer to ’60 Minutes,’” Neil told me. “It was to be an hour-long news show going out after the NFL football program on Fox.” His costar was to be Judith Regan, a young woman who had sliced her way to the top-selling echelons of the book publishing business. Smart, and possessed of finely sharpened elbows, Regan had by this point been rewarded with her own imprint, ReganBooks, at Murdoch’s HarperCollins publishing house. Neil started getting uneasy as Murdoch brought in a consultant to help punch up the concept of what news would look and sound like on Fox. The idea of creating a show yielded to the idea of creating an entire cable network—a niche news channel.
The new network would speak to viewers who felt the rest of the press was too liberal, like the New York Times, even 60 Minutes itself. The consultant had been a political strategist for presidents Richard Nixon and George H.W. Bush, the executive producer of a TV show starring Rush Limbaugh, and the head of financial news channel CNBC.
His name was Roger Ailes.

Smooch: Study of 130,213 stories shows Obama bias in 2012 election
BY PAUL BEDARD | MARCH 16, 2015 | 10:49 AM
A sweeping study of some 130,213 news articles on the 2012 presidential match between President Obama and Mitt Romney has proven anew that there was a strong pro-Democratic bias in the U.S. and international press.
"The Republican Party is the most divisive subject in the campaign, and is portrayed in a more negative fashion than the Democrats."
- "Overall, media reporting contained more frequently positive statements about the Democrats than the Republicans.
- Overall, the Republicans were more frequently the object of negative statements," wrote the study authors, Their conclusion:

Cornell University Kicks Jesse Watters Off Campus for Asking About Liberal Bias
Jesse Watters crashed Cornell University to test students on their liberal “indoctrination” after a report claimed that 96 percent of Cornell professors' donations went to Democrats.
However, in the middle of the regular “Watters’ World” questioning, Jesse was kicked off the campus because Cornell media relations had not granted him permission to interview students.
“We ask that you don’t interview students on campus,” Melissa Osgood, Cornell’s deputy director of media relations said.
“Cornell doesn’t have a problem with Fox News, does it?” Watters asked.
“Absolutely not,” Osgood said.
After Watters asked repeatedly, even the senior director of Cornell media relations would not budge, saying that Fox News could not interview students “on campus” and that he would send Watters a statement.

Waters claim to fame includes stalking a female reporter, ambushing a 75-year-old PBS host, and telling homeless New Yorkers to get jobs. A really disgusting piece of crap, but fox viewers like disgusting stuff like that.
