Is there any doubt the media is biased?

Question

It's been over a week, and no one seems to think Diane Feinstein did anything serious enough to warrant news coverage. I'm wondering, if this was Karl Rowe, or choose your favorite hated Republican, and that person was directing contracts to their spouse, got caught, and had to resign from their committee, would there be any press coverage? Where's the outrage?

I heard it on YA first.

It won't sell? You have to be joking.

Answer 1

The Feinstien case is a PERFECT illustration of the same media bias that those on the left say doesn't exist.
You are exactly on point.
A more down-to-earth example is the almost total lack of reportage of Rosie O'Donnells anti-American hate speech on her national network show...examine the way the press totally ignores this as compared to Anne Coulters '******' remark (made in a closed setting in front of a tiny audience - not on national TV).
Where is the condemnation of Rosies hate speech?

the left wing bias in the media is a figment of our imagination apparently.
Yeah, sure it is.

Answer 2

they could say so for 2 motives. First, they may well be even extra to the left of the editors/ journalists/ newshounds/ commentators who settle on what the media's masking and how they cover it. 2d, they may well be attempting to legitimize the media's moves through denial. The contributions and who owns what company concerns little to me. the right honchos merely have the prefer to make money and if it extremely is the case how the coverage is slanted concerns little to them. it really is the editors and those straight away below them that settle on the slant, and almost ninety% of them voted for Gore in 2000. It would not get a lot more advantageous monolithic then that. i'm no longer certain if ninety% of Dems voted for Gore in 2000. it should be one difficulty if the newshounds ought to keep own biases out of their artwork (which they declare they could do), notwithstanding it really is glaring from the memories being instructed, the memories no longer being instructed, the deceptive statistics being thrown accessible, and how both applicants are being dealt with by technique of the huge guns in the media, that this isn't the case.

Answer 3

Yes, the national news media is biased towards the liberal viewpoint, but you Repubs still have Fox News and most of talk radio.

Answer 4

Feinstein=Democrat=Free Pass.

To Mr. Tell Me Another One: Oh, there IS coverage, but for the most part, the major networks have buried this story. Why? Because they are BIASED. (Is that loud enough)?

Answer 5

Its not even news anymore. They spend more time discussing amongst themselves and telling viewers what to think, instead of presenting full unedited stories without bias. Now we have the two sides and the truth is lost in the middle somewhere...

Answer 6

It's really not that different from Cheney being VP and Halliburton getting so many defense contracts.. I think the people of the US are just tired of that kind of story.. so it won't sell.. and if it doesn't sell.. it's not going to get picked up.

Answer 7

Yes, it defiantly is, if it was published then the belief that Cheney has done something to profit would go out the door. And that doesn't go along with their liberal agenda.

So as with all libs, it is withhold the truth to promote the agenda.

Answer 8

Try this. If the spouse of a Republican presidential canidate had been treated for an addiction to sex and had been accused of rape, do you think that news media would have a day where they didn't mention it?

Yet the front runner for the Democrats is in that same position. They don't call him Slick Willie for nothing

Answer 9

It's interesting that she was only forced to step down after the Democrats took congress.

Answer 10

Not a doubt in the world.
