Though we can't know for certain, I do wish for a parallel universe where Harris, as president, bombed Iran on the pretense of regime change and toppling a terrorist sympathizing regime. While Trump hasn't covered himself in glory here, CNNs coverage was almost instantly one-sided. Bit gross actually. Calling out how depleted our rocket stocks were, etc. I have a feeling the coverage would have been wholly different had it been Harris at the wheel.@goat journalists are naturally left. IU itself did a study on same. Overwhelmingly so. But I don’t ever remember mainstream media being so radically left as it is today. We see it with the presentation of crime to the trump obsession. They’ve rendered themselves nothing more than propagandists
now again with podcasts and all the rest it might not matter. But msm from the NYT to cbs is pure garbage
I don't watch the news much (get most from online articles and what people argue about on here) but liberal bias seems to be mostly bias by omission or bias based on what they choose to focus on. Fox, on the other hand, has been caught just flat out lying.
Please share those articles. You seem to always be over the mark and dialed in to the truth.

It’s those straight down the middle sources…TYT and Meidas.
@spartans9312 I’m still SHOCKED at the disappearance of cosmic after the election. Was unreal. His politics were hickory bad but he was a great guy with great non political stories.
what was the one poster that drove me absolutely insane. He’d always say EVERYONE LOOK so and so admitted
I'll acknowledge that some (too many) Rogan listeners probably view him too objectively. But I'd submit that while Rogan and his types have always had biases in their media, mainstream news coverage has decidedly become more politically charged. There is evidence (research papers, ex-NPR, etc.) that MSM moved left, particularly regarding social issues and their coverage. Is that really a surprising conclusion, though?
Much of that is being driven by cable news and the dynamic that viewers tend to crave and watch more of the same rather than something different from their view. Money matters.
I do think there was definitely a time when the MSM was left-leaning, but more and more the pendulum seems to be swinging the other way. MS Now is sort of inconsequential in the cable news ratings - combining Fox News with News Max and other fringe sites probably has them beat. CNN is sort of trending toward right of center these days and a lot of other major news outlets, are owned by right-leaning billionaires. The Sinclair Broadcast Group owns the majority of local affiliates and they're definitely right-leaning.
@ohio-guy Flipping channels right now, and also just read a piece from the NYT. The NYT is reporting extensively on more women coming forward with allegations of harassment and even assault on the part of Dem Senate nominee Graham Platner, and more on the Nazi-linked tattoo he sported for many years. It's also a lead story on CNN.
With this reporting, they're helping Republican Susan Collins' campaign.
FOX News would NEVER do this if the shoe was on the other foot.

It was a generalization, not about any specific article. And I am allowed my opinion just like everyone else.

Platner was just on the Kommie channel and Chris Hayes didn't cut him any slack at all.

MSNOW has continued covering the latest Platner revelations and aren't doing him any favors. Velshi and Hayes are discussing them now and are increasingly pissed that this guy is the candidate.
Maybe they wish to avoid more multimillion dollar settlements from biased reporting…
Or maybe they first decided that fighting a frivolous lawsuit, even one they would be sure to win, would be worse than simply paying MILLIONS to, and currying favor with, a crook who is in a position to approve or deny a multi-BILLION dollar merger deal.
And now they've decided that keeping reporters who are very upset with that decision and who are openly critical of the crook still puts the merger, and perhaps even their license, at risk.

@jdb Not sure what being a lesbian has to do with it but she’s been leaning right for several years. That’s why she was appointed at CBS, to make Donnie boy happy.
Leaning right? I didn't realize that deciding not to follow the Democrats as they ventured off into deep end into ideological nonsense like promoting trans, obesity, Islamic migration and DEI as normal and healthy made one "lean right".
What % of lesbians are right-leaning Zeke?

He keeps claiming the republicans are spreading disinformation. All this stuff that keeps coming out is coming from his own party. If I'm a Republican strategist, I want this freak to win the Dem primary, so I've got all that time to really hammer him and can turn it around on everyone in his party who has supported him.

Pelley was quite specific.

That's actually the opposite of specific. What falsehoods Scott?
more of Pelley's statement:
"...new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all."
There were multiple stories, multiple cases of attempted interference, and management actually having the gall to ask people being interviewed to pick the reporter who will interview them!
If you think any of this is OK, if true, then you're off the deep end.

I believe this is the second time you've referred to him as a "freak." What makes him a freak? He's a United States Marine Corps combat vet, he served our country honorably but, like many combat vets, came back from multiple deployments (Iraq and Afghanistan) fucked up. He's got PTSD, he's fully disabled, and receives VA benefits for it.
Sounds like he's worked through a lot of issues, but the baggage is significant and he's probably not cut out for Congress.
Now do Ken Paxton. Many years of scandals. What's his excuse?
