The Media Is Not Liberal

[sealybobo]

It hasn't been for a long time. Since Bill Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The rich have purchased 95% of the media and even liberal media's can only be so liberal or truthful. The rich owners censor what news can be told.

Here is a great example:

Paramount owner Shari Redstone in recent days sought to know which upcoming 60 Minutes stories were about President Donald Trump

Producer Bill Owens resigned abruptly this week, complaining that he no longer had the editorial independence to run the iconic Sunday evening news show.

Bill said "it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ’60 Minutes,′ right for the audience.”

His resignation was the culmination of months of tensions between 60 Minutes and Paramount, which has taken greater interest in oversight of CBS News.

Following Trump’s demand that the FCC inflict “punishment” on CBS over a recent 60 Minutes piece on Greenland and Ukraine

A fourth source who spoke with Owens in recent days said the former producer had grown concerned that CBS’ corporate parent was becoming too interested in 60 Minutes — and that was making him uncomfortable.

Owens’ resignation comes as Paramount is hoping to close its merger with the entertainment company Skydance, which continues to be under review by federal regulators.

This is exactly why Fascism and Big Business goes hand-in-hand OP.

It's not that the business/es agree w/fascism, it's that they simply want to continue doing business, so they obey in advance.

In other words, capitulate.

The word "Liberal" is too vague. The Democratic Party and the elites that fund them control 95 percent of all TV, printed and social media. That is a clear fact.

Liberal media is a misnomer.
Media is democrat and democrats are draconian Marxists. Hardly liberal.

The major media is biased toward democrats, that's not even controversial. When the majority of media people donate overwhelmingly to one party, you can't avoid it.

Nope. The rich, corporations, Republicans, Conservatives own 95% of it.

They may be liberal about gays but fiscally, they agree with giving corporations tax breaks. They hate unions. They want deregulations too. They don't want to pay employees more.

Gimme a break. When the corporations censor the news, it's not liberal anymore.

Even MSNBC never said Bush lied us into Iraq. In some ways Trump is more liberal than MSNBC.

“When she first got in and was named speaker, I met her. And I’m very impressed by her. I think she’s a very impressive person. I like her a lot. But I was surprised that she didn’t do more in terms of Bush and going after Bush. It was almost – it just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which personally I think would’ve been a wonderful thing,” Trump told Blitzer in the interview.

Why? For lying us into Iraq is what Trump said. And he repeated that when he beat Jeb in 2016.

All the media that came out and said Trump is a danger to our democracy, I'll give you that they WERE more liberal when it came to Trump. Can you blame them? Look at how Trump is proving them right.

Now the media is being censored more than ever. That's what this thread is about. Reporters are being censored by the owners of their media companies. The owners are either MAGA themselves, or being threatened by the Trump administration.

Which means Trump don't really care about the 1st amendment. We already knew that.

Scary times.

Exactly!
Leftist or Regressive would be more accurate.

Spot on!!

Liberals respect freedom of speech and don't censor it like we saw with Biden and Twitter.

This OP is one of the craziest I've seen in some time as research article after research article has shown that the Left has been moving to the Left since the dawn of time.

It just so happens that corporate America has been doing the same, along with those in government. So, in this respect, I suppose there is some truth to it.

I just wonder if Elon will put his tail between his legs now and become a Left-wing Loon to fit in again

If not, more beating will come like how they destroyed the Pillow guy as well. Just how tough is he?

The main stream media is decidedly liberal. It is composed of shitbag Propagandists. They are Apparatchiks for the liberal Democrap Party.

But remember this. The more liberal hosts WE wanted on MSNBC, did not get hired. Moderates got hired. People who would follow direction. The hosts I wanted would say what's on their mind like Majorie Taylor Green does. Like hosts on Fox and Newsmax get to say whatever crazy thing is on their minds.

MSNBC and CNN have too many moderates and conservatives on to be truly left.

Seems they are just protecting their investment. They've watched as Trump hate has driven CNN and MSNBC ratings into the toilet.

Well they certainly aren't MAGA I'll give you that. But they also aren't as liberal as I'd like them to be.

What about the liars on Newsmax and Fox. I hear one of the Murdoch sons isn't such a right wing douche bag but he's probably going to lose control of Fox to his right wing brother who doesn't mind lying to viewers.

God, it's embarrassing that you even claim to be Greek. Mind you, there are plenty of Greek assholes but must you tell everyone when you can't even admit to being a fag?

Alithos anesti btw.

They are. You’re just too mindless to recognize how far left they are.

Joe Scarborough? LOL We're surprised he hasn't broken his back from the amount of water he's carried for your cult.

Normally when Democrats are in charge Fox ratings go up. But when Republicans are in charge, we watch more MSNBC. Not now though. That's because Republicans are loving what Trump is doing.

And us liberals can't listen to MSNBC cry for the next 4 years. We are taking this year off. See you in the midterms.
