Former NY Times editor rips Trump coverage as biased

Nothing suprising in this but good to see a former editor for them come out and admit it.

There really needs to be a congressional investigtion into the media and how it operates against America....spinning, lying, and covering up the truth.

Our msm is lilttle more than a huge propaganda operation. Gobbels would really admire them.

She is stating the obvious... for if she did not, she would have zero credibility.

Her years at the helm are marked by licking Obama’s balls... and having the NYT lay down on the job like a good ho... which is just as disgusting.

Ahem, her "years at the Times" were three, to be exact. Jill Abramson was fired by the Times in 2014. She couldn't possibly have a grudge with the paper, could she?

Although she made charges of bias against Trump, she didn't detail anything as an example. Most of the actual facts regarding Trump are negative -- just like articles about bed-bugs are negative. That doesn't equate bias.

The first thing populist authoritarian governments have tried to do through out history is discredit, censure, control, even obliterate all media and bend what is left to the governments will. What is happening in the United States is not new, it has been repeated over and over again. Trump came to power through a fear based populist agenda and has very definite authoritarian tendencies. While he was still just a candidate he said he wanted to open up the nations libel laws to make it easier to sue news organizations and win lots of money. I don't doubt that there is bias because reporters are humans with their own political ideas. That has been true since the beginning of news. A free press is the foundation of Democracy. No news organization is perfect nor should we expect it to be, when an error is discovered honorable organizations apologize. All news reporting that is not favorable is not fake news. We can all agree that Trump is not a normal President. The sheer magnitude of quotes, tweets, and actions by this President are exhausting but must be reported. All Americans should be alarmed with concerted attacks by any president on a free press. The press has to be there intact and healthy regardless of who the President is. Trump has been successful in selling his vendetta against all unfavorable news as biased, resistance reporting. A lot of it is just reporting. Trump supporters call it biased. The reality is that Trump is a cash cow to news companies. They are going to report on every action he takes and everything he has to say. Jimmy Carter also said that the press was too hard on Trump but he didn't use the word biased. I don't doubt that what Jill Abramson said has truth in it. Bias is not necessarily unfair if the reporting is true, factual, and unspun. I think most of it is true, factual, and unspun.

She's got a book coming out but even allowing for an author's tendency to try to generate sales, an honest person would acknowledge the points she makes obviously reflect what's been going on.
