No, the media has a "ratings" bias. Conflict drives ratings. I don't understand how anyone can claim the media has a liberal bias when the SOP for "liberal" media outlets the last 15 years is to have one person with a reasonable viewpoint and then pit them against a person with an insane or falsified view, and treat them equally.

For example, all the coverage they gave "birthers" on every drat news outlet when that is a pants on head retarded thing

The birthers that Hillary started?

CNN, washpo, NYT, and pretty much every major news organization is peddling DNC talking points, you're living in a fantasy world where you think the small amount of right-wing news and talk shows outnumbers the liberal media, its insane.

oh boy, one news network and two newspapers, the hot media sensation of 2017.

Also no to your little game, I'm really not sure who has lied more between Trump and Hillary and I think its funny you're trying to prove how great the DNC is by the amount of lies their 2016 candidate has told.

Bullshit, you and I both know.

The media has a "liberal" bias, but not a left wing one. If the media indeed had a Leftwing one? Perhaps the Iraq war would have never been a thing.

This is how I've looked at it for a long time now. There are a lot of pundits on TV that are blatantly partisan and trying to spin things in favor of the Democratic party but they're also blatantly neoliberal and have little interest in social justice as a paradigm. There's no major media outlet that is stacked with people who pulled for Bernie the way there are people who pulled for Clinton and Trump.

lol, you're talking to someone who voted Jill Stein so keep that in mind.

So you're speaking strictly about talk radio now? Before you were bringing up blogs and infowars or whatever but you're right that right-wing talking points have been contained to the radio for a long time, here's an interesting forbes article on that subject.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/abrambrown/2015/07/13/why-all-the-talk-radio-stars-are-conservative/#3d4ee6672788

quote:

Their demographic is aging. It's the 70-year-old, white, Protestant farmer in a small town Nebraska who's listening to these guys because he's driving in his car. Or it's the listener driving a lot in the suburbs. And it's a shrinking demographic. For every white farmer in the heartland who dies, he's being replaced by a 25-year-old Hispanic living in the Bronx. It's just the way America is going right now.

makes sense to me.
