Left Leaning Media Bias?

Huey Freeman said:
The same people who deny systemic bias against African-Americans and other minorities, are the same individuals who insist the media has a systemic bias against conservatives. It never made any sense to me but, then again, white supremacy rarely does.

If they could, they'd simply blame Jews for controlling the media. However, they're not satisfied with that. They have to paint the media as some secretive group of perverts who are controlling things behind the Bill Clintons and Harvey Weinsteins and Prince Andrews of the world. Even when they controlled the House, and impeached Clinton, they were the victims of a crime they never couldnt convict him or Hillary of. The media is both getting owned, and controlling the world around them. Jews. They mean Jews.

Liberal media has spent the last 3 years freaked out about stupid **** like how many scoops of ice cream Trump has. They've also been constantly caught pelddlng "news" thats opinion (Russia!!!!) and they've also been caught misreporting (at worst) or providing trumpets (ha, i made a pun) to liberal activists (at best).

And then they wonder why people are suspicious of their Coronavirus reporting. Derp. Don't believe anything you hear from the agenda driven media unless its clearly and unequivocally back up by facts. And even then, don't believe their interpretation of the facts as they are clearly agenda driven. Especially highlight and select against stories coming from the hive mind and spread across multiple liberal sources. They are now acting as the media arm of the DNC.

They also tend to be flat earthers, young earth creations, AGW, and evangelicals/fundamentalists.
 
Ideally, the media serve several essential roles in a democratic society. Their primary purpose is to inform the public, providing citizens with the information needed to make thoughtful decisions about leadership and policy. The media act as watchdogs checking government actions. They set the agenda for public discussion of issues, and provide a forum for political expression. They also facilitate community building by helping people to find common causes, identify civic groups, and work toward solutions to societal problems.

Media should be the watchdog of government, and try to inform..i.e. with facts, reality, not sow division,etc. I think right wing media does the opposite. I think left wing media is appropriately critical of the worst administration to ever be in the White House in modern history.

CLling media biased because it’s critical is an effort to discredit reasonably critical media, and to justify the direct collaboration of right wing media and right wing politics, most prominently today with DJT.

It's a thoughtful critique from someone with credibility.

This isn't show and tell, it's debate. If you can't use your words, you lose. If you can't read and absorb what you read, and successfully defend it, you lose.

Maybe you should. After failing 1000 times at debate, perhaps it would be an indicator to you that you should change your ways.
You do realize links are just appeal to authority, right? I mean, this is like debate 101.

Use your words Jack, if you can. Just try it, you might like it.
