I forget where I saw this, but it’s so true.

If Trump walked on water, the media headline would be:
“Trump Can’t Swim”
 
If Trump wipes out HIV, FLU, and even the Common Cold, the headline would be “Viruses Have Rights Too!”

Actually, no, I’m not. But I believe the bias is restricted to subtle choices in which stories to cover. I do not believe it extends to gross misinformation that we see from media outlets with less journalistic standards…

Yes, it’s restricted to which stories they cover and the tone they use in their coverage.

Which “openly liberal” employees would balance against this supposed absence of conservatives? If you give me a name, I will see if I can find a name that is just as conservative and that person is liberal.

Give me one employee or better yet program host that’s a registered republican

Notice it is only liberals that maintain that the media is not biased.

They will continue to do so because it’s how they keep the propaganda going. And it looks America is ready to fall for it all over again sooner rather later. And this time it will pretty much be endgame.

But factually UCLA did studies and showed around 90% of the media (including FOX NEWS) leans left.

He is a regular contributor to both NPR and PBS. And more importantly, his views are represented in his commentary. Wasn’t the whole point that the views of registered Republicans were not being represented?

What is most concerning is the extreme bias. If I had to measure it on a scale of 1 to 10, the left bias is at an 8 or 9.

Code: 
        I believe you have under estimated the left wing bias by a little bit. Using your scale
  I would give the left wing media a rating of 11 or 12.

Oh great. A fact. How about a link?

If you mean this one…
newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/Media-Bias-Is-Real-Finds-UCLA-6664…

The methodology and placement of right, left, and center would provoke some discussion here.

Here is a great quote from the article:
The most centrist outlet proved to be the “NewsHour With Jim Lehrer.” CNN’s “News Night With Aaron Brown” and ABC’s “Good Morning America” were a close second and third.
