I dont know maybe the media is bad because they dont like Trump and want them out because he goes against their interests after all we do live in America and for profit media is a thing and also we really dont like punctuation and properly constructed sentences because we dont have time for that

Uh-huh.
 
It's official, I will not vote for CNN in the next election because of their bias.

First, I don't know what program you were watching but MSNBC was covering the Manchester bombing all night.

Second, you talk about Trump and Russia as if winning the 2016 election vindicates and justifies whatever the Trump campaign did -- and we should "let this go." There are serious allegations against members of Trump's team -- that's in serious crimes. It's like saying that Nixon won in 1972 in a 49 state landslide, so that Watergate thing is water under the bridge.

Michael Flynn allegedly took money from foreign governments and lied about it and failed to register as a foreign agent -- all while chanting to HRC, "lock her up."

Trump fired the FBI director; made up a false story as to why he did it and then admitted at an interview that he did it to take the heat off the FBI investigating his campaign and Russian ties. That's obstruction of justice.

So, the media covering this bigly story is quite justified. Wanting a huge story like that swept under the carpet, and then ironically blaming the media for bias, shows you own bias. You stand by Trump like a four year old stands by mommy and anyone saying anything mean about mommy is bad.

What time was the tv on? Every channel I was able to receive, droned on about the concert attack although there was little to no information. IMO the channels (across political lines) are trying to sell airtime first, and then inform the public. I switch between the two channels that I find at opposite ends of the spectrum. (MSNBC/FOX), reminds me as a young child, we would spin in a circle in one direction and then (I'm guessing it was my first sensation of high), we would have to spin in the other direction to achieve equilibrium. Depending who is on at a particular time there is definitely a time limit, for me, when I have to spin in the other direction

In Main Stream Media, they all attempt to cover the news. The "spin", the chosen guest analysts, and most importantly - the point/counterpoint programs. If one watches Rachel Maddow on MSNBC, there is an obvious LEFT slant. Likewise for Hannity, with the RIGHT slant. There is a major difference, however, in TRUTH in media, as this link points out:

The Conservative Obsession with Liberal Media Bias is Right Wing Propaganda


Lies and misrepresentations are the coin of the media realm on Fox....

MSNBC is almost as left-wing as Fox is right, only they don’t have to repeatedly lie and distort to objectively present the issues and they broadcast conservative fare as well....
 
Rachel Maddow


WOW !! She needs to cover the 'inner city crime', by herself, at mid-night, hmmm, can only imagine....
