Yup, I think it goes back to Clinton with his Telecommunications Act. After that, most of the news agencies got bought out so that most of them are owned by a handful of people/corporations. And News agencies moved to entertainment models mostly. I like to call MSM News-Entertainment.

TBH, it's become a lot like this forum. ;)
 
When you are way way way out on the right wing.....everything looks like a liberal conspiracy
 
Today in the main stream media Joe Biden asked a reporter, a black reporter, if he had been tested for cocaine. Asked him if he was a drug addict. I understand the point he was trying to make; my point is can you imagine what would be said by the MSM had Trump said these very words? Most of you won't see this exchange or hear about it; it was on an unwatchable network and wasn't particularly flattering to the Democrat nominee.

A bit, it's going to be a bumpy ride through November, that's for sure. Though when in Rome, I suppose.

Yep

Because they follow the Rush Limbaugh model. Feed their audience the hatrid bigotry and fear they so crave.

The Trump presidency has revealed to the world what these people really are.

And it is an ugly picture. Nothing like what America has stood for since its inception

I like Morning Joe. He really cuts trump to pieces.

Faux News is the propaganda source for the republicans. Has done a real disservice to its audience with misinformation

Is there a reason why liberal posters who haven't watched Fox in 10 years keep bringing up Rush Limbaugh?

Rush Limbaugh has absolutely nothing to do with Fox, and nothing in common with any Fox commentators, except Mark Levin who is on one night a week.

The only bigotry I've seen on Cable News recently was CNN making fun of Stella Immanuel's religious beliefs. The liberal media cannot stand black Republicans, the racism comes pouring out like water from a dam

I actually get facts and Information there... They aren't #1 for no reason

Plus they have a great variety of topics... usually

Sometimes when some big thing happens, they focus too much on that story...but otherwise, they are the best

Being top rated has nothing to do with accuracy, impartiality or objectivity.
Being #1 only relates to popularity.
If you were not so ignorant, you'd know that.

You all who haven't watched Fox in 20 years need to at least watch Shannon Bream once. It's the closest thing I've seen anywhere to neutral news.

FOX News is the Rolls Royce of cable news works.

The Cadillac of our news.

When they discuss topics, they get more than one side to discuss things.

I saw again today how PBS only calls on Democrats to talk news.

Once in a blue moon they allow a republican to talk on the news. But always against a Democrat.

But when they use Democrats, rarely do they allow republicans there.

And they talk about several things daily.
1. COV19 and how it relates to Trump. And Trump is always evil per PBS.
2. Blacks. They do not mention Floyd was a career criminal but honor his death.
3. African topics.
4. Today they mentioned the explosion in Lebanon but put no effort into the story of today, Sally Yates was destroyed in the Senate hearings. She covered for Obama as best as she could. She covered for Biden too.

Rachel Maddow was raised at Castro Valley, CA and she was born to a Democrat family. She is crap on a stick.

I also grew up in that area only the part that is a real small city, Hayward. Coach Ralston of the SF 49ers came from our city. I graduated HS in the first Hayward High School that looked like a University. When republicans ran the city.

This was a small part of my high school.

Paddy Chayefsky's hit film "Network" eerily presaged the transformation of news media into a sensationalist profit driven model in 1976.
It only took about four years for the predictions to come true.



And it only took a scant few more years for the rest of it to come to pass.

Lol was that a joke?

Rachel Maddow is great, I love watching her. But she is NOT neutral news. Is that seriously what you meant?
