Have you noticed the phrasing by the media to be like this?

[Robert W]

This is not merely done in America. The media does this for all countries. The media I am talking of is the American media.

What do they do? When they discuss Democrats and say left, it is always a gentle left. When they mention the right, they always say "far right."
If you have examples showing I am wrong, delight yourself by showing them.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

You are an ungentle far right, yes.

Deny it, and you will get laughed at.

I have never seen or heard that statement.

Media Bias: Pretty Much All Of Journalism Now Leans Left, Study Shows

The media have drifted to the far left on the political spectrum. Yet again, a major study of media bias shows just how far from the center they are.

Missy, the bias is all yours.

Look at the reporting of the French elections. Every news story refers to the "far Right" or the "extreme Right." But there is no such thing as the "far Left." It is never mentioned. It is unimaginable.

The Frenchmen are "far Right" because they don't want their culture and country destroyed by Muslim immigrants. While the government allows them in, hoping they will one day start paying taxes to fund their retirement program. Good luck with that.

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

I hear "those horrible far right wing extremists" a lot. Mostly on MSNBC

 

[Foxfyre]

Missy, the bias is all yours.

I'm not the one who said IBD is far right. You did. Which is sort of the point of the thread, i.e. how the right is described versus how the left is described. I doubt I could go back through your posts and find where you described anything or anyone as far left.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Stop lying, missy. I said, "Missy, the bias is all yours."

This is an example of how far from actual journalism the corporate media has evolved. The purpose of any journalism is to report facts: who, what, where, when, and why and leave the interpretation and evaluating to the reader. It is enough to say So and So said this today. When that turns into So and So lied and this is what they said, the process is corrupted, and should not even be considered. Now they are actively and pro actively taking it on themselves to pass judgement on what is true or not. I have even seen news items saying this person or that one is guilty of spreading false lies. What in the name of Richard Nixon are those? It is impossible to tell opinion pieces from "news" flashes, they are presented as the same. Here's a look at some of the false claims made during Biden and Trump's first debate

No journalist should use those ever.

I just saw a news by Major Garrett about Biden catastrophe. And he talked and talked about Trump. Acted as if the problem was Trump and not Biden.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The problems are the Court and Trump.

When I went to journalism school we had that who, what, where. when, why and also how drilled into us and those needed to be in the first paragraph of the story whenever possible and within the first two paragraphs always. No pertinent facts were to be buried deep in the story hoping the reader wouldn't get that far.

Any suggestion of reporter bias in a straight news story would get us an F from the professor and a slap down from a newspaper editor or the news director at the TV station.

If we put in a news story that Donald Trump falsely said whatever, I'm pretty sure we would have been shown the door. If you know the subject lied, you quote somebody else saying so or you source verifiable accurate information, but you keep your own opinion out of it and allow the reader/audience decide whether somebody lied. The only place allowed for our own opinion was under our byline on the opinion page. Even there we were required to be ethical and honest and say only what we knew for a fact was true.

For the huge majority of media out there now, journalism is dead and the only thing the public gets is propaganda.
