That's a huge claim. What are you basing that on?
Fanning the flames of racial tensions and riots. Warping reality. Justifying looting and rioting. How are people this clueless? Seriously.

That's not really a response to what he claimed. That's just your view on what 'they' (the all scary all powerful 'they') do. What he claimed was that "The mainstream media is the biggest group of liars and manipulators this world has ever seen." What is that based on?

Why am I completely unsurprised that a conservative spelled it "todler"

Constantly reinforcing that "dumbest fucking voters in the US" stereotype

All journalism inherently will have some bias, even if only by what is omitted. Can you give an example of how journalism was consistently better back in the day? What are you basing that on? What do you believe journalism is supposed to be? Do you have any examples of that?

Mostly from my own experience of consuming news over the years. It's gotten progressively worse, particularly with what I witnessed during this past election cycle and about "Trump-Russia collusion". CNN and the like talked about it 24/7, like it was the *only* thing that mattered. Turned out to be false in the end anyways.

They post race bait, click bait articles saying "White man does ____ to black person" but won't post and talk about instances where a black person did something to a white person. If they do, they won't talk about it in the same manner. Most recent example is where a black man pushed down a 92 year old white woman. MSNBC, NBC, CNN, ABC --- not even an article. Only local news is reporting on it. If a white man pushed down a black lady so lackadaisically like this man did, it would be all over CNN on the front page.

Not specific examples, but hey, those are great too. I just want some actual evidence to back up a claim that big. As for you: what is your opinion on say FOX news for example?

This is actually a misconception and there is strong evidence that it was not in fact false and there was indeed some illegal activity, as to whether one would call it 'collusion' is beside the point. 'Collusion' isn't the legal term or test there. And there is evidence he's done something similar with China recently.

What I gather from what you said is not any actual evidence it just sort of seems to be a vague kind of feeling you have.

It's just the internet but I also feel some discourse about these things is important. It needs to be called out occasionally. People read it, and some people really believe these things.

Yeah, well nothing came of it and that's all they talked about. Every day I could predict that if I turned my TV on to CNN or MSNBC, they would be talking about Trump colluding with Russia. Every time. And if it wasn't right away when I turned the TV on, it was a minute or two later. And it didn't just last a week or two. It went on for months and months. Countless of other news stories were ignored.


What I gather from what you said is not any actual evidence it just sort of seems to be a vague kind of feeling you have.

Are you familiar with the story? Did you watch the video? Is there are reason why you think CNN and others aren't covering this story? Why hasn't CNN posted one article about it? I don't think it's a coincidence, and I don't think you think that either.

I'm asking your opinion on why you think they may not be reporting on it. You're sticking up for the media, saying they're not race baiting and stoking racial tensions. So you must have a reason why you believe that.

No one mainstream covered it except Fox News. I mentioned CNN because they're most popular mainstream.

I think to some extent, they do do that. And were partly responsible for Trump. And do a lot of things wrong. But I don't think that makes the media or journalism inherently bad. There are things they can do better, sure. Doesn't mean you have to throw the whole thing out just because they aren't perfect. That's classic conservatism lol.

No ones saying "throw the whole thing out". People just want both sides of a story and for journalism to look at every angle and report on every angle, not just one. It's not hard to ask of organizations that claim "Facts First" and then proceed to intentionally only report on specific stories and include race baiting headlines

That's a huge claim. What are you basing that on?

You weren't around on social media back in 2013, it seems. Allow me to remind you of the story of Trayvon Martin. When it was first reported, CNN phrased the headlines (paraphrased) "Half White Man Kills Black Boy". Then you see a bunch of news outlets use photos of Trayvon when he was younger (he was taller than Zimmerman during the ordeal and this was an important detail used to corroborate with a witness' account). Even worse, MSNBC doctored the audio to make Zimmerman look like he was more racist to make it seem like a hate crime and drum up support.

The worst part about all of this? The news media got away scott-free in misreporting the news story that started the divide in our great country. That should tell you right then and there that the media tailoring a narrative to get a reaction out of people. They've been doing this for years, and it's not just limited to racial stories, they've done this against Bernie and Yang during the heat of the primary season. There's a reason why CNN and the like have been associated with "Fake News"; they've earned it.
