You couldn't have been farther off the mark if you tried.
No, I was smack dab on target.
This is all about the level of bias that voters from both sides of the isle saw from the mainstream news media's coverage of the election campaign. Your statement about "right wing" media was not only irrelevant, but a complete fabrication on your part.
No, it's literally in the opening post.
I always love the dishonesty from "right wing" soldiers regarding bias in the media. They are so quick to accuse media of liberal bias and yet so completely ignore the overt right wing bias in their own media. No one believes Fox News, Hannity, Limbaugh, Breitbart, Drudge, Blaze, etc. aren't overtly biased towards the Republican party. But somehow, for so many people who vote conservative, those sources never get mentioned when discussing bias in the media. That's dishonest. It just shows those people don't care about biased media, they just want the media to be biased towards the things they want to believe.
wow fox news vs ABC, CBS, NBC news, ABC CBS NBC late night television and ABC, CBS, and NBC programming
Let's ignore for a moment your premise assumes something far from factual (in that all those sources you mentioned are noticeably biased).
How come you didn't mention Rush or Hannity and the virtual stranglehold conservatives have on the radio market? Why not mention Newsmax or Drudge or The Blaze, who are three of the top four most popular political websites? How come you fail to mention the millions and millions of people who consume media which openly touts its bias?
Furthermore, how about you address the point I made? An openly biased towards conservatives media source suggested other news sources not inject their bias into political coverage. Many who lean to the right in this thread have seemed to have absolutely no problem with that hypocrisy.
It's like I said to Grim. Those who complain about media bias only mean bias which isn't in their favor. But the biggest problem with that is those same people think UNBIASED news coverage is biased because it's NOT catering to conservative bias. That may be hard to understand, so let me explain with an example.
"John" is a hardcore Republican/conservative. He consumes Fox News three hours a day and listens to Rush Limbaugh everyday. A week or two ago, Bret Baier "broke" a story that the FBI was very close to indicting Hillary Clinton. This story made the rounds on conservative media. It turns out that report was completely false, as admitted to by Baier in the next couple of days. But, in John's world view, CBS or NBC is biased, because they didn't report that the FBI was about to indict Hillary Clinton. In other words, because CBS didn't report what was a biased and false report, in John's opinion, CBS is biased. This, by the way, actually happened and I provide a link to a thread to prove it.
This is the problem I have with so many on the right who whine and complain about media bias. They think because a news source doesn't report conservative bias, they must be liberally biased. And that's downright stupid. Furthermore, those same people NEVER complain about the bias in the news/political media from which so many Republicans get their news and opinions. Those people never complain about Rush Limbaugh or Hannity or Fox News or Drudge. That bias is apparently okay, because it's what they want to hear.
To make a long story short (too late): Most people who lean right who complain about media bias are full of crap, for multiple reasons.
