Why are told we have free speech but when the news reports the news the Conservative people tell you it's lies

Answer 1

Many of the news reports are slanted.. and are incomplete truths....

Usually they are not to the degree of lying that your fabricated articles are though

Answer 2

There is a majority of 'news' that is left wing. There is some news that is 'right' wing. Almost all 'news' deliverers put a spin on things. Making it seem better for the liberals or conservatives. Like I said, the majority is left wing (or liberal or democrat, however you wanna look at it). The best way to get news about politics is to go to a bipartisan website, such as congress.org, to find out what's really happening.
ANd I'm a conservative, I'm not telling you it's lies, but MAN, do the liberals have a majority in the spin department

Answer 3

Well that's there right under free speech. They do it to dismiss any stories that don't support their point of view. And the idea that the media is liberal is another falacy they foist on us for the same reason. The Mainstream media is owned by big business. It's
mostly middle of the road, infotainment and blatant plugging for business, as well as government propaganda.

Answer 4

You do have free speech, you were able to write your question. Newspapers and news reports are very biased. The purpose of a news show or newspaper is not to enlighten you. They exist to make their owners money. They make money by selling ad space- commercials. Whether the content is accurate or not doesn't matter as long as the ad revenues roll in.

Answer 5

Huh? Let's assume your incoherent rambling is correct and the conservatives are lying...that still amounts to free speech. It's impossible for a news report to stifle your free speech.

Answer 6

Watch C-Span live coverage of Congress, and then watch what CNN tells you happened in Congress that day, it's an eye opener.
