How many times have I said the media is comprised of Democratic Party operatives?

    Plenty, and I have even more proof here where Huffington Post reporter Yashar Ali said he was pressured by NBC political editor Dafna Linzer to follow the wishes of the Democratic National Committee regarding a story he was working on.

    He said she wasn't calling as a representative of NBC, but rather on behalf of the Democratic Party:

    Ali will now be blacklisted by the leftists in the media for reporting the truth, and leftists will begin to attack him; I expect they will be calling him Putin's puppet shortly.

    Our national media is quite corrupt, as normal Americans have known for decades...

    If she keeps her position at NBC after this, it will be interesting indeed. They would be announcing that NBC's politics division is a DNC toady

    If I didn't know better I'd think NBC "News" and the Democrats were in collusion.

    This is why so many on the left exist in a bubble, a liberal/progressive/socialist echo chamber where they only see approved leftist propaganda.

    Who really expects NBC political editor Dafna Linzer to direct any of her staff to look into the actions of corrupt Obama administration officials unmasking U.S. citizens in tapped calls?

    Wonder why she and other Democratic Party operatives visually ignored the extremely corrupt Eric Holder and his actions in the Obama administration's anti-Second Amendment Fast and Furious gun running scandal?

    But most of the left, it seems, prefers it this way. The lack of intellectual curiosity on their part is simply amazing...

    It seems my leftist friends here are failing to respond to this because:

    1. They have no idea what I'm talking about, as they haven't heard it within their liberal/progressive/socialist echo chamber.

    2. They are aware of it, and see nothing wrong with it.

    If one of you wishes to debate either media bias of media advocacy, I'm game.

    Don't be afraid. Really...

    The Washington Post has a typo every day:

    They put 'Democracy dies in darkness' on their banner but what they are really saying is 'Democrats fail without our help'...

    You can say this with a straight face while trump consults with Hannity several times a day to design the Fox news?

    When Fox suspended their wacky judge, and when they wouldn't obey trumps command to bring her back, trump threatened them with a State run news agency; to replace Fox.

    Yeah, there are certainly lefties in the media. But trump and Fox News are one in the same.

    The media will endorse the democratic party candidates most of the time. Of course the media is mostly liberal and their reporting has a left leaning agenda. To deny that is to be untruthful to yourself. But they are so arrogant they will deny it.

    So what you all seem to be saying is that conservatives are either too lazy or too ignorant to start and manage their own media companies. We know they have money, so there are no other possibilities.

    I'm not sure if leftists are being disingenuous when they holler, 'Hannitttttyyyy!" or if they are simply ignorant.

    But I'll explain it again.

    Hannity, and the wacky judge, are essentially Rachel Maddow. They are opinion persons, much like the wacky Paul Krugman is an opinion person. Or like the Washington Post or New York Times opinion pages.

    You know the difference between what is supposed to be opinion and straight news reporting now? Hopefully?

    Because NBC political editor Dafna Linzer is a straight news person who who not supposed to show any bias whatsoever. But there are dozens of 'reporters' just like her, who discard journalism in order to advance a narrative that helps the Democratic Party.

    Fortunately, normal Americans have come to recognize this...

    If we're going to make a blanket statement I'd say conservatives are less likely to become poorly paid journalists and instead make their money in business.

    Failed, liberal journalists become failed liberal journalism professors, who instill a liberal bias into their students from day one. And many journalists become Democratic Party communications directors and such, bouncing back and forth between Democratic Party tasks and 'journalism.':

    Time managing editor Rick Stengel is leaving journalism to go work for the State Department, making him at least the 24th reporter to go to work for the Obama administration.

    https://www.theatlantic.com/politic...urnalist-go-work-obama-administration/310928/

    This also occurs at the state and local level; in California, where I live, it's a revolving door between McClatchy/Sacrament Bee and Democratic Party jobs.

    So – if we're going to be making blanket statements – I guess we need more unsuccessful conservatives to fail at jobs and become journalists, teachers and university professors...

    Well this part is kind of interesting, no?

    "I'm not naive to the fact that this incident is going to be twisted by some with an agenda to discredit the media and say they collude with political parties. But I think its more important to expose bad behavior then keep it under wraps. What Dafna did was unethical."

    The dude writes for the HuffPo; of course he is a biased liberal/progressive/socialist who will deny bias.

    He was just pissed because he was treated bad by someone even more biased than he was.

    He's not unusual in that it happened to him, what's unusual is he publicly bitched about it. But he did, indeed, reveal what many of us already know...

    Well we know what he said about what she supposedly said about a story he considered insignificant.

    And we also know that it is indeed being twisted into something by the people who knew would.

    Of course those that "know" what they believe don't need tweets from a HuffoPo writer to "prove" anything they will believe regardless.

    The founder of Fox News was a Nixon dirty tricks man. He was never a television executive. He was a right wing political activist.

    Karl Rove talked to him and coordinated messenging between the Bush White House and Fox Noise for eight years.

    Fox is Trump TV. The President installed its chief programming executive as White House Communcations Director, so that the Fox message could be run from the White House.

    When you can come up with anything even remotely close to that in the rest of media, let us know.

    Than explain why a journalist from NBC was calling him to pressure him into following the wishes of the Democratic National Committee by quashing a story he was working on.

    Looking forward to your take on this...

    My take is.........

    I don't know. Neither does Yashar Ali.

    So let's all jump to conclusions. That's always a good idea, right?

    Good thing you're not a Republican.

    If you were, that would be called "whataboutism".

    Haaahahahahaaa!

    I'm not arguing that Fox isn't biased to the right. So is Breitbart. But with numerous instances of liberal bias on the part of the mainstream media, they are no more biased to the right than the Washington Post, New York Times, CNN, MSNBC and others are biased to the left.

    Heres a list of liberal bias, if you're interested:

    https://www.westernjournal.com/top-50-examples-liberal-media-bias/

    And the JournalList scandal from 2008 with the biased Ezra Klein is probably the best example of Democratic Party operatives posing as journalists:

    There are leaked emails – on a list server given the collective name “Journolist” – from a cabal of major mainstream media journalists who conspired with each other to frame stories that would help elect Barack Obama and keep John McCain from the Presidency. This is a scandal of the highest order, but who is going to tell you? It certainly won’t be the journalists involved nor their mates in the media.

    Dumb. Our media is corporate and profit-seeking is the motive for their behavior.

    The rules changed during the Reagan administration or decades ago, where you expecting a business/corporation to have your best or the country’s best interest at heart, really?
