    Default Questions for people who think Liberals run the media.

    Why do news networks always support either the Conservative or the Centrist, but never the Liberal? Shouldn't networks like CNN, which is supposedly liberal, be supporting Sanders and Warren instead of Biden, Harris, and Buttigieg?

    Why is the media so friendly towards Christianity, but so against Atheism? Atheists are usually portrayed negatively in the media, so much so that the term "Hollywood Atheist" has become a trope. If the media is liberal, shouldn't Atheists and Atheism be portrayed positively?

    When exactly did Liberals take over the media? For most of American history, the media has been very sexist, homophobic, and transphobic, but at the same time Conservatives were claiming the media was Liberal. So when exactly did this switch occur for real? Were past Conservatives incorrect?

    You'll have to give examples of your premises, because I think that they are all false.

    That post is all over the place

    Fact is over ninety five percent of all media is owned by five major corporations, they are chasing the buck, profit is the primary objective, and they give the viewer what they want to hear to maximize profits. Cable networks, especially FOX and MSNBC are the same by design, partisan to appeal to a partisan audience. The thing that annoys me is that neither won't come right out and say what they are and why they do what they do

    We don't "think" liberals run the media, we KNOW they do. Pretending they don't makes you look stupid.

    Of those surveyed, 17.63% said they were “very liberal,” and 40.84% said they were “somewhat liberal,” for a total of 58.47% saying they lean left.

    On the other side of the spectrum, just 0.46% said they were “very conservative” and 3.94% described themselves as “somewhat conservative,” for a total of 4.4% of respondents leaning right.

    The studied journalists gave $382,000 to Clinton and just $14,000 to then-candidate Donald Trump. Just 50 of the journalists donated to Trump, meaning 380 — or 88% — gave to Clinton. This also only includes those who gave more than $200 to a candidate, as those names must be disclosed by law. Far more could have donated to either candidate with smaller donations.

    A similar pattern was found in 2012.

    WRONG again Arsecheese; if profit were their true motive they wouldn't be the Marxist leaning morons propagating the public with FAKE news. Most are LOSING money; hardly making it.

    WRONG again Arsecheese; MSNBC is devoted to promoting a leftist DNC agenda and promoting lies and false narratives. Fox actually presents a fairly unbiased factual picture of what is going on.

    What is more annoying is the stupidity and lies leftist hacks like you spam the social media sphere with Arsecheese.

    Just the "truthie" being "truthie"

    The study, so predictable framed by a right wing source funded by the Wilks brother, is a University accounting school's survey of business journalists, in other words, those covering business content, and not journalists in general. But that didn't stop "truthie" from generalizing he knew "liberals run the media," wasn't it a conservative just earlier who was labeling everything as "non sequitur fallacy"


    (Now time for the insults and corny copy and pastes)

    Now "truthie" is telling us corporations don't exist to make money, those six companies combined worth over $ 430 billion are just in it for the laughs, and losing money doing it

    And then he goes on to tell us FOX is legitimate but MSNBC isn't, like both of them aren't based upon the same business model of selling to the choir

    As I've said, always entertaining, usually one would have to hang around a bowling alley bar all day to hear the bullshit "truthie" attempts to get away with daily

    I agree except MSNBC is only liberal because facts have a liberal bias


    THEY HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO CORRECTLY REPORT WHAT IN FACT TOOK PLACE


    being correct is not being biased
