Title: Bias in the News.... Post by FormerlyLostArtist on 04/03/18 at 09:25:35 after decades of hearing conservatives complain about liberal bias in the news.... Sinclair Media makes journalists read a script, an actual script. Has there ever been this blatant of a bias shown in the "liberal" media?? Sure, there's workplace bias, you hire those that tend to agree with you to get a better team dynamic so you are all on the same page and all of that, I'm not denying that. but an actual script? FORCED by a massive media conglomerate at the threat of your job or massive fines? Show me the equivalent in the "liberal media" . This is straight up propaganda, deny it if you want, and some of you will, but this is textbook, might as well have a staterun media with this crap going on.

Title: Re: Bias in the News.... Post by raydawg on 04/03/18 at 09:40:27 Here, just in case you ignored this: Been reading up on Chappaquiddick, wow, 1969 seem seems like another life time ago.....HECK, IT WAS Grin Well, I am hearing the movie gets down to the facts, only been a few decades, haha. Reading some of the old reports, mercy, the Kennedy's were the ultimate White privileged family. Anybody else would have been in jail. Anyway, looking back at history, and then today, it sure is funny to see how journalism has changed, talk about a leaf blowing in the wind. I guess it all depends on who is blowing WHAT, up your azz, that predicates which direction you blow..... Look at this story, this just a few years ago. My, my, my..... how quickly we rewrite history. http://fortune.com/2016/03/29/obama-media/ Check out this quote from the story: The “free media” comment seemed to be a direct reference to a recent estimate by the New York Times that suggested Donald Trump has gotten the equivalent of almost $2 billion in media coverage since his campaign began. So perhaps the President agrees with those who argue that the news media has helped create the phenomenon that is Donald Trump. You think that came at the cost of hoping he gets elected, or in hoping he knocks any REAL republican candidate(s) out of the running and insuring a Clinton victory????? Or here: As investigative reporter John Russell pointed out in a response to the President’s criticisms on Twitter, the Obama administration holds the record for denying or withholding the largest amount of Freedom of Information requests. How is that helping the news media to “dig deeper” or “demand more” accountability? Former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson has said the Obama government is “the most secretive White House I have ever been involved in covering.” Say it ain't so CNN, my gawd, NOOoooooooooooooo.......Obama on Twitter, er I mean, Tweeter, er....he was so cool tho, even in if he was not being honest. Go have fun, you might learn something, but again, to learn means to question your beliefs, not too many open minded liberals can do that. |

okay, looked into it a bit, and ... what does this story, which is about the elusive Obama transparency - meaning that the Obama administration wasn't very open with the media, how does that relate to a media conglomerate forcing their "local" reporters and tv personalities to read an EXACT script to push their message out? I'm not seeing the connection, one is about a media conglomerate trying to curry favor with the current administration, (who is already a fan) to get favors, while the other is about the difficulty of access to a previous administration. Neither are good, but they are different. This isn't about the use of social media by presidents to shut out traditional media either. Yes, they are two wrongs, but not even close to being the same thing, like saying the grass is brown here then you saying the grass is black here --- okay, but what does one have to do with the other? Don't answer that because you can't, trust me, you're wrong on this, I agree, both are bad things, but they aren't related. |

Title: Re: Bias in the News.... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 04/03/18 at 10:16:57 Yes, yes, it's terrible to have everyone state that their goals are straight coverage, neither left nor right, but honest coverage. Shameful,, truly shameful. |

Title: Re: Bias in the News.... Post by raydawg on 04/03/18 at 11:28:48 KOMO is my local news, and by no stretch of the imagination is it a conservative news outlet. It wouldn't survive here, period. Because of the very liberal King County, it markets the news accordingly. Again, go back and look how journalism and coverage has morphed into the entertainment industry, academia, and even private enterprises with boycotts and stories of cops not welcomed at donuts shops, etc.... I showed just one link, above, there are 1000's, yet folks want to be led by those that stroke their little herd mentality and ego..... And fault the opposition fringe on the other side of the coin.... They do not get it, or maybe they do, and can't accept it, but they are the fools they hate. |

when they are lying about it, it is. Sinclair is not a straight coverage organization. otherwise they would have instructed their tv personalities to say, "We, a Sinclair Broadcasting Group station, .... blah blah blah" the company itself would have made an announcement instead of disguising it as some local news reporters opinion/statement/journalistic piece. they didn't have them say that, they had them pretend it was an eye-opening announcement that added value to their individual stations, they hit all the trigger words conservatives are orgasming over these days, "false news narratives being repeated without checking the facts" while they are FORCING their own reporters to REPEAT an exact script without those reporters actually check that statement for validity. remember when I complained about talking to a wall here. THIS IS WHY. You all complained about the "liberal media" when they were sucking up to Obama, but now that a conservative media IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING TO TRUMP, distributing Trump's "evil media/fake news" message, you are all fine with it. whatever, waste of my time trying to get through to you all. especially you Ray, open-minded idiot you claim yourself to be. |

This Sinclair thing, trying to fool conservative viewers or just viewers of it's stations in general that they are somehow not participating in repeating fake news while they all repeat the same thing un-fact checked and under threat of loosing their jobs... That's bad too. there can never be an honest conversation until we quit assuming the worst of each other and actually listen. It doesn't seem like any conservative brain trusts on here actually want to do that, they want to use whatever is posted to spew their narrative about the EVIL Liberals and leftists... while ignoring the evil that's done in conservativism's name. |

And no, covering the same story is different than reading the exact same words/script over and over again. Also, what do you mean by "and the like" ? CNN competes with MSNBC, which competes with NBC which competes with MSN, which competes with CBS, which competes with Fox News, which competes with.. etc.... so one company can't actually force them to read the same exact thing over and over again to spread that propaganda. now does "group think" take place, sometimes yeah, cause yes, like minds to think alike, so yes, there is a liberal bias in that way, and the intensity of the varies based on the company... Imagine, I"m sure you have already, but imagine if this came out and it was "CNN and the like" and it was George Soros who wrote the script and that script repeated a lot of what Obama was saying about conservatives at the time. That's more like what this is like. |

Title: Re: Bias in the News.... Post by MnSpring on 04/04/18 at 08:39:08 Boob-Tube shooting. Went to look it up on Just the Internet. Just sort of a, experiment, as to, ‘Sides’. Some observations. Speculation: everyone had that, as to why, who, etc. Reason: Again everyone had, a, ‘Possible boyfriend’. On one site, (BBC) was said: “…On her website she also ranted against YouTube, saying: "Videos of targeted users are filtered and merely relegated, so that people can hardly see their videos.” She also quotes Adolf Hitler, saying: “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”…” Gun: Handgun only. Only ONE site said a 9mm. But No place said, what kind. Paid especial attention to ‘kind’, as that will temporally bring up the value of that, ‘kind’, as the ‘Fairy Dust Sprinklers’, SCREAM to BAN it. So All in all. The information is just, ‘listing a bit’ this or that way. Will it stay the same, or change? I believe that simply depends on, if the 3 shot, die. But of course, as soon as the ’type’, of handgun is released. (What, did the shooter, throw the gun in the river after she shot her self?) Their WILL be the cry from the DFI’s standing in the street: “Ban That …….” So then we will know, ‘what’ that is, then the price of that, ’thing, will go up. |

Really ?????? The title of this Thread is: “Bias in the News…” So a Account, of Several, ’News’, places. Stating, in that ONE, event, the, ‘Bias’, was minimal. Would NOT be, Relevant ?????? Here is something, that is Not Relevant. I Eat M&M’s, by ripping off the top of the bag, and tossing some in my mouth, then letting them melt, or crunching them immediately, or something in-between. (Just Guessing here) Do you eat M&M’s, by cutting off the top of the bag with a ‘food’ grade sizers. Then carefully pouring them out on a hard surface. Then line them up by Color. Then put ONE in your mouth, and each time, eat them the SAME way ? (The above two paragraphs, would be, NOT, relevant) (This, IS, Relevant, to Your post of Not being relevant). BIAS: prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair: NEWS: newly received or noteworthy information, esp. about recent or important events: |

They were reading the company line to alter your perception of what they do instead of letting what they do speak for itself. It was a pure propaganda message, and if CNN had done that, just CNN, you'd be flipping your lid. The company was trying to trick it's viewers, that's the problem. Sinclair wasn't honest about it, they make stoogies out of their "journalists." But sure, it's all just non-sense since it's been brought up by the "militia of the butthurt" "liberal media" . If Sinclair wanted to make that statement, they why didn't they OWN IT? Instead they hid that it was their message, and tried to deceive their viewers into thinking it was their "independent" stations and journalists saying it. Talking to a wall here. |

Title: Re: Bias in the News.... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 04/04/18 at 16:31:59 Until THAT moment when I saw the video, I never even Heard of Sinclair, except for the gas station from years ago. Yeah, I'd go Bananas if CNN or Fox did that, because I KNOW what utter Bullshit they deliver with a straight face. I don't know HOOT about Sinclair. If what they were saying conflicts with what they Do, laugh at them, just like I laugh at every other alleged group of journalists. If you have a Classic load of bullshit from Sinclair that would show me what a Buncha agenda driven Jakkasses they are, pop me a link. Fair and Balanced is clearly a load of BULLSHIT I don't even know what CNN claims to deliver, but I do know what it is. I don't know where to even go to see what Sinclair is about. SNN? |

that's fair. thank you. Since, the fact that they strong arm their affiliates to pull tricks and spread their propaganda isn't enough for you.... I'll do some more research, but what I've learned about Sinclair just from my admittedly biased sources, is that they are a highly conservative broadcasting group that have been purchasing lots of stations and media outlets for the last decade or so. I think they currently need governmental approval for something and are obviously sucking up to Trump to get that approval, I believe they might want to buy even more stations and maybe they've reached their limit, but I'm totally just guessing at that right now. |

Back on topic Lost, read Biased by Bernard Goldberg[/quote] Where did I deny that there's liberal bias in the media??? There's a reason I check a lot of sites before trusting anything specifically, and even then, there's always another side to things. I understand media, I have a master's degree in media. I get all of this. I'll look into the book, maybe it's worth a read, but, not sure I trust you. |

and.....? Did any of those stories have far reaching political implications? Were they bashing other "news" networks as being false and untrustworthy? Those were all fluff/filler news pieces. I'm not against a corporation using smart use of their resources (script writers) to produce generally benign content that appeals to the their viewer. But you'll notice how in NONE of those scripts did they declare themselves to be independent, fact checking journalists worthy of your trust, while they all read the exact same script that they were forced to read without doing their own independent fact checking or any journalism at all. |

Title: Re: Bias in the News.... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 04/05/18 at 12:37:21 I know how distressing it's been for so many people to have this Sinclair bunch all saying what they want everyone to believe about the honesty of their journalism. That they are claiming to Be the High Road writ large just sticks in everyone's craw. Gotchya.. I'm just pointing out the obvious. They don't have to be much to be better. They can be the very best, with ease. The New Golden Boy, Tucker Carlson? I heard about him. I decided to see for myself. Phhht.. He completely failed to say things that I knew about and failed to ask obviously important questions. Just more Controlled Opposition. Until someone shows me a reason to laugh at Sinclair, I'll accept them, and IF I ever see anything from them, I'll be just as skeptical about it as I am about every other alleged journalism that is mass produced. It's so hard to pull the Bullshit from the real it's not worth it. Screw Fox and CNN and all of them. |

Title: Re: Bias in the News.... Post by Andy RN on 04/05/18 at 15:27:44 Sorry, I don't study bias in the news THAT closely, such that I can furnish a specific example of a script used by left-leaning media. I do seem to remember some allegations of scripted questioning done by CNN following that recent school shooting in FL, however I think I also read articles contesting those allegations. Too much of a drama show for me to follow. If you are really into researching this, I would send an email to some of the people at the right-leaning media outlets. They would probably be able to provide you with a specific example. Cheers. |
