Republicans’ media bias claims boosted by scarcity of right-leaning journalists

You mean like his birthplace wasn't vetted. Please get off your crying soap box. RWers made all kinds of noise for every petty issue with Pres Obama.

 

Exactly. All I hear is: "If I don't agree then it must be from the liberal media." Maybe they haven't noticed that Fox News is the biggest news channel by far.

 

And have tried and been fairly successfully in stymieing speech that disagrees with their political view.

 

Exactly. All I hear is: "If I don't agree then it must be from FOX News." Maybe they haven't noticed that the MSM is far bigger and more powerful, than FOX News.

 

You don't think republicans over at Fox News are not acting unbiased when they interview democrats? Come on?

They were spoon fed the fraudulent documents on a deadline, and ran with them as if the were the scoop they had been frothing at the bit too find. They so much wanted this to be the smoking gun, and neglected to even consider the legitimacy of the documents. If Karl 'the' Rove didn't have his DNA all over this BS I would certainly be surprised. Just plain old bad journalism.

 

This!

Like they lied so well for John Kerry to get him elected, despite the made-up swiftboating scandal.

Or they lied so well for Howard Dean. Oh wait, they crucified him for the Dean scream and portrayed him as a maniac, for something much less relevant than Carson's recent unhinged attack rant on the media.

The mainstream, corporate media are in it to make a profit. If they can make a buck, they'll throw anyone under the bus, not matter if left or right. That's why I listen to NPR, the only place where you can still get decent news.

 

That depends on who is doing the interview. Do you think Sheppard Smith is a biased conservative or Greta ?

How about Bret Baier or Wallace?

 

more right wing demonizing

 

Sheppard and Greta are democrats. The point is if they are going to be bias they will. Do they have to be? No. Most can pretend not to to be, but they don't do very good job of showing it. My point is that there are really very few journalists, because news sources do not want journalists, they want script readers, and political bulldogs for the most part that will spread their brand of propaganda. Just because they have a few tokens from the other party doesn't make them unbias, or fair for that matter.

Newspapers especially have never been neutral. They have almost always been in existence to peddle their brand of truth, usually in line with one political ideology or another

 

Correct. RWers made noise. Did the MSM? Nope. The MSM is certainly making noise over "every petty issue" with Carson and Trump. But they shove HIllary's baggage under the bed. THAT's the point of the thread and proves the bias. Would anyone know about the racist pastor if those evil RWers didn't look? Nope. Would anyone care about Benghazi if the RW didn't make sure to bring it to light? NOPE!!! The MSM wants it buried. Do Liberals care though? NOPE! And that's the most disturbing part. Democrats don't care when their own people lie. Hillary is their new queen of Teflon. Hey Hillary, "Would you like to talk about those emails?" Hillary sighs, "Nope.". Moderator proclaims, OK, next question.

Sorry, but huh=) No bias there folks.

Carson fudges the name of an old inconsequential class he took and he's a HORRIBLE LIAR. Yeah, no bias there.

 

Made noise hardly describes the BS from right wing news outlets. They made a stink out of nothing and continually do so like this petty issue of being picked on. Time for RWers to grow a spine.
