Triggered??? I'm not the one posting multiple times everyday about the same topics over and over again. Bumping up their posts so they stay on top and drowning out other posts even when nobody else is commenting on them. That's Triggeted!!!

As far as learning about bias in news sources, I put a link below for media bias. It shows that all the "DNC approved news sources" as you claim are way more accurate and factual than the lies and bullshit from the news sources you post from on a daily basis. Take a good hard look at the news sources and hopefully you can learn something from it and not her so Triggered from all the lies and bullshit far-right radical conspiracy theories extremist website you love to get your information from.

I agree since I saw that chart before... certainly the far fringe right leaning folks are enjoying a LOT OF bias when it comes to the typical set of providers, known to be "conservative cause" rags and streaming sites. Ever Day is jump the shark day on those cooky spots. Btw Alex Jones was shown chasing down migrant workers and yelling pedophile to the guards. Smdh..and there ppl who follow him ,Fox, Breitbart, OAN, Gateway Re-pugnent and several other shill rags.

LOL - how many times are you going to use that same discredited link?

In 2018, a Columbia Journalism Review article questioned the thoroughness of the Media Bias Chart and similar initiatives, stating that "the five to 20 stories typically judged on these sites represent but a drop of mainstream news outlets' production".

In 2021, an article on the Association of College and Research Libraries' blog argued that the Media Bias Chart is detrimental to media literacy efforts because it "promotes a false equivalency between left and right, lionizes a political 'center' as being without bias, and reinforces harmful perceptions about what constitutes 'news' in our media ecosystem, and is ignored by anyone that doesn't already hold a comparable view of the media landscape.

A great Jonathon Turley article which exposes the DNC media bias I have shown here and how the media marches in lockstep for the DNC


I have previously written how the level of advocacy and bias has created a danger of a de facto state media in the United States. It is possible to have such a system by consent rather than coercion. Given that long concern, a letter drafted by the Biden White House Legal Counsel’s Office was striking in a call for major media to “ramp up their scrutiny” of House Republicans “for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies.”

The message is curious and concerning, particularly in the aggressive role being played by the White House Counsel’s office under Stuart Frank Delery.

First, as I have previously noted, the White House is now actively involved in pushing narratives and denying factual allegations linked to the Biden corruption scandal. That could create Nixonian-type allegations of the abuse of office in the use of federal employees to counter impeachment efforts.

Second, the letter was drafted by Ian Sams, a spokesperson for the White House Counsel’s Office. So White House lawyers are now enlisting the media in a counter media campaign against impeachment? The letter removes any pretense of separation between the Biden personal legal team and the White House Counsel’s office. Sams has been the most aggressive White House official in actively swatting down allegations of corruption as well as the President’s documents investigation.

Third, the letter calls for the media to actively support the White House account. The draft of the letter is a call for what I have previously criticized as “advocacy journalism” where reporters frame stories to advance their own viewpoints or values.

Sams wrote “[c]overing impeachment as a process story – Republicans say X, but the White House says Y – is a disservice to the American public who relies on the independent press to hold those in power accountable.” In other words, media should (and it has for years) decline to give equal attention to allegations against the Bidens and instead tell the public what the truth is.

It is a call for media to tailor the coverage to push the position of the White House against this effort to ramp up the investigation into corruption. It is an approach that is already embraced by many in the media. That was evident in the meltdown of Washington Post columnist Philip Bump recently when he was confronted by countervailing evidence in the Biden scandals. Before storming out, Bump chastised the interviewer for not just taking his work as the “putative expert” and said that he had enough “because you don’t listen to the press. I’m sitting here and I’m telling you, you’re wrong about these things, and you don’t listen, and you continue to insist upon things that are, you know, parsing of language.”

That appears the approach pushed by Sams, who specifically references Facebook and Fox as enemies of the truth: “in the modern media environment, where every day liars and hucksters peddle disinformation and lies everywhere from Facebook to Fox, process stories that fail to unpack the illegitimacy of the claims on which House Republicans are basing all their actions only serve to generate confusion, put false premises in people’s feeds, and obscure the truth.”

The letter has an uncomfortable feeling of marching orders to the media. This is a media that followed the lead of Biden associates in spreading the false story that the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation.

This is the media that refused to acknowledge the authenticity of the laptop until only recently — long after the presidential election.

This was the media that only recently admitted that President Biden has been lying about denials related to his son’s influence peddling.

Yet, the White House is now calling for the media to again form the wagons around the President and attack the impeachment effort as it did the laptop and the corruption investigation.

Once again, what is most disturbing is that the White House shows no reluctance or concern in making such an open pitch to the press. There is a sense of license in using the media as an extension of the White House press push. The fact that this is a representative of the White House counsel’s office is particularly chilling. This is not the press office but the counsel for the President calling on media to form a unified front against the Republicans and the impeachment inquiry.

The letter is an alarming erosion of separation of the White House Counsel’s office from the Biden defense team. It also confirms an active and aggressive role of White House officials in swatting down allegations against the President. While the staff obviously is not expected to be neutral on impeachment, there is a careful line that past White House counsels have walked between fulfilling their duties to the office as opposed to the officeholder.

Another in a long line of examples of the corrupt DNC approved media

The AP newswire had the Democrat Susanna Gibson porn candidate story a week before the Washington Post did, tipped off Gibson about it-leading her to get the videos removed-and decided not to run the story, despite seeming obviously newsworthy.

[Salty Again]

Things with the media are surely already turning 'round, mate.

Washington Post article begging Biden NOT to run...

... CNN with a good clip on Joe Biden's long history of
FALSE statements and claims....

... And - ABC NEWS - actually pommeling Fani Willis over her
sham "indictments" - that onley seem to make Trump MORE popular.

... There's a good chance that we'll surely see chants
from the liberal media for the government to DROP all the
Trump indictments - just to try and make him LESS popular.

... The media has looked at Trump's SOARING popularity
- with Joe and the other candidates floundering behind
- and are starting slowly understand things.

That not-onley does Trump have a good chance to Win
- that a year from now - it just might be a FOREGONE CONCLUSION!

Maybe they should have Joe step down now - and just hand
the presidency back to Trump...

We do have a functioning media. You just have to find it.

[DNinja69]

If anything we have too much media. The lines have become blurred on what is 'news media' but I would argue there are more outlets for Conservative based content than ever before.

Officer Tatum came on the scene riding the Trump wave found a niche and has nearly 3 million subs on YouTube. For some perspective the magazine Playboy record sales for a single issue was around 7 million. Trump himself is essential a media source as he uses the spotlight on him to push his agenda in much the same way Rush did for so many years.

Sadly I don't think leftists will ever find it like this

[tommy156]

Leftists aren't the ones who've had their heads buried in election fraud conspiracies for the past 3 years. Most of MAGA is still stuck living in pre-November 2020. How can they be informed about what's happening today, other than the maniacal lies and rantings on truth social?

[berryberry]

9 bombshell Senile Biden scandals and 0 seconds of coverage.

ABC, CBS, and NBCNews are censoring news about the Senile Biden Crime family corruption, just like they did in 2020.

true or false - did the media interfere with the 2020 election? true


true or false - did the media interfere with the 2016 election? true


true or false - did the media and the DNC claim the 2016 election was rigged? true

[DNinja69]

At some point this boils down to 'Dems are superior' despite all the claims of their dysfunction. If we believe the propaganda then Dems are much more adept at gaining control of media sources, influencing the outcome of elections, and with regard to the current indictments they must also be more gifted in legal maneuvering. Oops I almost forgot the education system.

Or.. we could be real about the media and admit that while there are more Liberal outlets the mainstream content for Conservatives is abundant and accessible. But then the difficult concept is taking a hard look at why more people are not buying into the Republican message.
