Westside Steve Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Frankly I would have checked-in the bra but... PS Fox is also on the list so before anybody freaks out WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I don't doubt stuff like this is happening, but it comes off pretty conspiracy theory-y to me in the presentation. I would expect an ancient Astronauts video in the suggested videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowe Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 "I don't doubt stuff like this is happening" Then how could you possibly call it conspiracy? Unless you consider yourself a conspiracy theorist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I mean the vibe of the video I also don't think it happens to the extent the video portrays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowe Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I usually just lurk here because I don't enjoy arguing online and I consider myself "middle right" politically, but I check probably 20 news sources per day and the bias seems pretty ridiculous. I would not doubt what she said in the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'm not saying it doesn't exist. There are plenty of examples both ways. I'm just commenting on the video itself really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowe Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 There are plenty of examples both ways, yes, but the ones that have a liberal bias are main-stream. Not fullammorightnewssavethebabyjesus.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Except with so many people thinking the "MSM" is "fake news", I'd be interested in seeing the numbers on viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowe Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 It's not fake news. It is incredibly slanted though. I think the two have become synonymous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowe Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 The real question is not what's what, but where do we go from here? I can't see another news source breaking into the mainstream without serious money behind it, and with that money would come influence and corruption so we are right back where we started. The other option is alternative news, which seems even more slanted than mainstream news. The answer is for people like you and me to read as many sources as possible and to critically think. I doubt 90% of America can do that effectively. So we are stuck in a nation of rage filled idiots. The hatred out there today on both sides of the aisle has me really bothered.

OldBrownsFan Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Except with so many people thinking the "MSM" is "fake news", I'd be interested in seeing the numbers on viewers. It is biased news and that is a fact. Although the MSM has been caught flat out lying at times that is not the norm. The norm is the liberal bias and slant/narratives they put on their stories. They come at stories with a liberal perspective and ignore the other side. Take Obamacare for instance (and I could use many more ). The MSM will constantly run stories on those who may get hurt if Obamacare is replaced but never run stories on those hurt by Obamacare with higher deductibles and premiums and healthcare that is too expensive. It is what the MSM leaves out and fails to report that is my real beef, *Wikileaks did expose collusion of the MSM with the Clinton campaign.

Yeah it seems easier and more profitable to pick left or right and then cater to it.

And I'm sure stories about the "MSM"'s liberal bias are the top stories on unapologetically biased right wing sites. So you get an echo chamber effect. It can get tweaked the other way too, though i don't think there's some big push against msm there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
