No, you really cherish the myth that the media is left-wing, even though you have little evidence for this.
There has been tons of evidence listed in this thread. I did distinguish between them, but is not what you wanted to hear.
That’s your gotcha moment? lol some can’t see the forest because of the trees
Of course it’s an easy search. The left/right arguments, if you can call them arguments at all, are a dime-a-dozen.
An honest look at the empirical evidence is all anyone would need.
Then what do you do with libertarians who take a more dimensional view of the world?
Does Steve Inskeep count? How do you know that he is not from his on-air perforrnace?
I think you have given the wrong link.
There’s a thought.
Ahh… that explains so much.
How can it not cause systemic bias is every employee is sitting on the same side of the fence? That you don’t recognize it is deeply concerning.
Every program has token guests to represent the opposition. I’ve already shown you that David may be available but is likely not representative of conservatives.
Stop deflecting, the question was never about if their programs have token or hard core opposition speakers. But if you want to go there, at least juan williams is a FOX employee, with regular (not as needed guest) coverage.
Absolutely true.
Professionals with journalistic standards are able to limit their personal opinions from their objective reporting. If no journalists were able to do this, we could never trust anything any journalist reports, right or left.
If you listen to Shields and Brooks you know David Brooks is not a token guest, but highly respected.
Can we please dispense with the “no true Scotsman” arguement?
Marketplace. But I suppose this also a “no true Scotsman” case. You have to set a reasonable standard for “leans right”. I think what you are looking for is “toppled over and fell off the table to the right”.
That appears to be the problem, there is no trust in what the mass media reports.
And don’t forget Shep Smith who is an opinion journalist who holds himself out to be otherwise. And then there’s Bob Beckel.
The media is certainly under attack, and true believers in Trump are largely responsible for the shift in public opinion. It seems to me that this is exactly what Trump wants. If he can successfully discredit the media in the eyes of the public, then he can go on with his agenda without worrying about any media watchdogs, since his tweets will be equally respected, if not more so, than what the media says. It has been done before in history. It is not an original idea that Trump thought up.
How would you blame Trump for this poll?
I wouldn’t. It was conducted in 2015. As low as trust was then, I suspect it is lower now. And that I do credit to Trump.
