Comparing how news media headlines and reports on the same story

Daisy4RN · Feb 17, 2023

The MSM has been lying to the public and agitated its left wing base for years. But it really amped up when Trump came on the (Presidential scene) and hasn't let up much since. And not just bias but outright lie after lie. a few examples...

And not only outright lies but also lies of omission. The latest being Bidens Physical Exam, not a word about his Cognitive/Mental evaluation, hmmm

I maintain that it is intentional media misrepresentations that influence and agitate so many conservatives in these topics.

And I maintain that it is the left wing media misrepresentations that lead their left wing base to "see" they there is not a problem is this area.

Interesting media choices to share in this particular thread in an attempt to make your point about Biden's cognition.

The MSM projection isn't surprising really considering the recent reporting on the bold faces lies and deception that Fox engaged in to feed the election fraud fever that helped fuel January 6 and the election deniers that followed.

Talk about differences and bias in reporting, eh?

If only you had evidence of those misrepresentations that weren't simply opinions from right wing perspectives. Maybe, in this thread about biased reporting, you could share middle of the road reporting that supports your belief.

Maybe they should! Maybe the left "demonstrators" threatening court justices outside their homes where their children live should read the media you do?

Or the man who targeted and shot Republicans at a baseball game? Have any suggestions of media they should consume?

Do you feel these "angry conservative parents shouting at school board meetings" are representative of the millions if conservative parents? Or these 2 violent criminals who attacked conservative politicians are representative of the millions of democrats? I don't. Perhaps it's the media I choose?

What media are you consuming that gets you so agitated about parents who yell and say mean things?

I hope that the angry, disrespectful and disruptive parents don't represent millions but our society is definitely experiencing a rise in number of citizens who believe that violence is the inevitable outcome of our current divided society.

I've shared the media that I consume in these threads. I have used tools like allsides or ad fonts for a long time and I stick to reliable and accurate reporting that has some awareness of bias. It says something about your own bias that you read agitation into my remarks about angry people who have made threats of violence because of media misrepresentations. We can review other instances of violent rhetoric or behavior if that seems more balanced to you, but I don't think that the evidence demonstrates that the violent thinking is balanced on both sides of the political spectrum in this era of Trump.

As usual you point out the media sources instead of pointing out what you feel may be false about the reporting.

Were Trump supporters always victims or did they acquire victimhood once DJT descended on his golden escalator?

From what I remember of the last 40 years or so, there's been a clear theme to some conservative commentary that hinged on the victimization of the white majority by brown people.. Bussing protests in South Boston. The Southern Strategy of the Republican Party (resulting in part in the idolization of a confederate battle flag and the proliferation of confederate monuments). Reagan's "welfare queens". The Tea Party. Historically, we have the tea party and the "moral majority".

in my opinion, a certain segment of the population has been conditioned to cry victim at the slightest challenge to their social and political power.

Your agitation and feelings of the matter is evident in that you created a whole topic about it.

Is it in your opinion that the inflammation caused by media is only a right wing problem? Or are you arguing the media on the right is more bad than the left? Who did it worse?

What about the violent instances I sited above. What media do you believe these 2 violent radical people were consuming to threaten the life of a SCOTUS judge and open fire on conservatives?

Who said anything about being a victim?

In my opinion POC have been manipulated by some white liberals to be perpetual victims who need the democrats to save them. Welfare was a detrement to poc. Awarding more money to single women if the father of their child wasn't in the home.

Sighting any challenge a POC has is all because of white people.

Who is claiming victim hood and who brought up race!

But since you did it is the Democrats with the long history of racism that is still going strong. I posted articles already but you probably didn't read them.
