Everybody who pays attention to the truth and facts knows this. Quote: "Just 6 percent of people say they have a lot of confidence in the media, putting the news industry about equal to Congress and well below the public's view of other institutions. In this presidential campaign year, Democrats were more likely to trust the news media than Republicans or independents. But trust today also goes beyond the traditional journalistic principles of accuracy, balance and fairness. Faced with ever-increasing sources of information, Americans also are more likely to rely on news that is up-to-date, concise and cites expert sources or documents, according to a study by the Media Insight Project, a partnership of The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the American Press Institute." http://bigstory.ap.org/article/35c595900e0a4ffd99fbdc48a336a6d8/poll-vast-majority-americans-dont-trust-news-media
The news about the mainstream news media is bad and getting worse. Quote: "The mainstream media and the Elite that control their message will continue to do what they’ve been doing for years. Exposing their plans won’t stop them from trying to achieve their goals, but it will make them come out in the open, as it has been happening, which will ultimately reveal who they are and how they use the media to lie and manipulate the public." http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/media-lies-and-the-liars-who-write-them/
The mainstream media does a terrible job for the public they are suppose to serve. However, they compliantly do an excellent job doing the bidding of their progressive handlers. Quote: "In his eye-opening new book, Antidote, black conservative activist Jesse Lee Peterson explains this phenomenon with more honesty and clarity than any commentator I know. His thesis is simple but highly explanatory. “Children, black or white, when deprived of fathers, grow up angry at their parents,” Peterson writes. “White children displace their anger in a thousand different directions. Black children, for the most part, channel theirs in a single destructive direction -- towards and against white people.” Helping focus that anger are the mavens of the grievance industry from Al Sharpton to Barack Obama. At every opportunity, these mountebanks are eager to remind young African Americans that nothing is their fault. If these young men take their anger to such frightening extremes that they cannot easily be absolved, the media step in to make sure they are quickly forgotten." http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/03/the_mass_murders_that_dare_not_speak_their_name.html They have assumed the job of protecting selected progressive/liberal classes/groups, favored political figures and elites from anything that the rest of us should know.
Quote: "Jim VandeHei, co-founder and former chief executive of Politico, says that “journalists are killing journalism.” http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/18/business/media/for-news-outlets-squeezed-from-the-middle-its-bend-or-bust.html
So much for mainstream media's honesty about and their obligation to call out and report government lies, deception and propaganda. The State Department spokesperson explains. Quote: "In the national TV-news world, only Fox News reported that Obama national-security communications whiz Ben Rhodes told The New York Times he created an “echo chamber” with a compliant national media to promote the Iran arms deal, even misleading the public as to when those talks began. They actually began in July 2012, but the administration claimed it began after “moderate” Hassan Rouhani’s election in June 2013. The same only-Fox-cares pattern happened after Fox diplomatic correspondent James Rosen reported that the State Department edited out an on-camera admission by Psaki in 2013 that it was necessary for the Obama administration to lie to reporters about negotating with Iran, since “diplomacy requires privacy to progress.” http://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2016/05/11/jen-psaki-gets-psnipped
Quote: "World press freedom deteriorated in 2015, especially in the Americas, advocacy group Reporters Without Borders said Wednesday as it released its annual rankings, warning of "a new era of propaganda". The World Press Freedom Index ranks 180 countries on indicators such as media independence, self-censorship, the rule of law, transparency and abuses. This year's report warned of a climate of fear that has seen world leaders "developing a form of paranoia about legitimate journalism." And, ""All of the indicators show a deterioration. Numerous authorities are trying to regain control of their countries, fearing overly open public debate." https://www.yahoo.com/news/watchdog-warns-press-freedom-decline-era-propaganda-042533084.html?
Another item that details why you cannot believe everything you see or read. Ken Burns, although an excellent documentary producer, is a leftist propagandist. Quote: "Since liberals these days cannot converse about racism without connecting the dots to the current president, Burns then announced, "Henry Louis Gates told me recently me of a Jim Crow Museum," -- of racist memorabilia, to teach "tolerance" and promote "social justice" -- "at Ferris State University in Michigan, where too many ugly, vile, demeaning, beyond-the-pale items characterizing President Obama and his innocent family are on display, piling up along with more than a century of other immortalized hatred." And, "As PBS "NewsHour" lovingly recounted (as "news," not PBS public relations), Burns summarized, "I do not believe, ladies and gentlemen, there is a hell, as most of our religions reliably report, just the one we humans make for ourselves and each other right here." And, "Burns is declaring that what the world needs is more PBS. It has no silly drug commercials, and there is no "partisan purgatory." Only heavenly liberalism is promoted, and "debate" is limited to the reflexive affirmations of New York Times columnist David Brooks. It's never a "tirade" to assert that police and "white Hispanics" plot to terminate "hundreds, if not thousands" of black lives with impunity. It's never a "more perfect union" than when conservatism and old-time religion are dismissed and silenced as distracting jingoism, obfuscation and intolerance." http://townhall.com/columnists/brentbozell/2016/05/13/l-brent-bozell-iii-and-tim-graham-n2162247? Anyone as arrogant as he is will not recognize the bias he incorporates into his work. It is no wonder that the left loves his work. He speaks directly to or reinforces their own bias. I have watched some of his work. It is well put together and entertaining. But even I can see the subtle bias which in effect is leftist propaganda.
Speaking of telling the truth, consider this interesting piece. Quote: "The mainstream media -- that is, the liberal media -- share all the views and characteristics of the left. Among these is the left's view of truth. There are honest individuals with left-wing views, and dishonest individuals on the right. But truth is not a leftist value. Everything the left believes in is more important than truth: social justice, economic equality, reducing carbon emissions, expanding the power of the state, battling sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, racism, and above all of these, destroying its conservative opposition. The media's coverage of President Barack Obama's nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court should serve as one of the most blatant examples of both the left-wing orientation of the news media and their willingness to play with truth." http://townhall.com/columnists/dennisprager/2016/03/22/judge-garland-and-the-lefts-disdain-for-truth-n2137592/page/full
Good question here. What else is the mainstream media sitting on? https://opinion.injo.com/2016/05/255812-nbc-news-sit-clinton-hacker-story-refuse-report/
Even Facebook has joined hands with the progressive left to censor conservatives and promote leftist propaganda. Don't allow Facebook to propagandize you. Quote: "Facebook workers routinely blacklisted stories of interest to conservative readers from the social network’s "trending" news section, Gizmodo reports. Citing an unnamed former journalist who worked on the project, Gizmodo reports news stories about the Conservative Political Action Conference, 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul, and other conservative topics were blocked – even if they were trending with Facebook users." http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Facebook-Conservative-News-Trending/2016/05/09/id/727883/
Here is more regarding Facebook war against conservatives. Maybe people need to think about a boycott until/unless it starts being open and honest and not serve as a left wing toady. http://dailycaller.com/2016/05/09/facebook-made-black-lives-matter-trend-by-inserting-it-into-news-feeds/ And yet more. http://thehill.com/policy/technology/279192-report-facebook-trending-list-omitted-conservative-topics
Quote: "Cable news is a business, and the people who run it are more interested in making money than advancing a cause. It’s also made up of human beings, who tend to be as lazy as possible if not pushed. So, Roger Ailes and those in his position at other networks, we understand attractive people saying things in a convincing tone may get ratings. But it also misinforms the audience. Can we do anything at all about this? Are these news networks delivering news or loud, ignorant conversations in a bar? If they’re the former, people will run risk of being educated. If they’re the latter, I suggest we find a new table far away from this one." http://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2016/04/28/draft-n2154465?
Of course reporting bad news of one of their leftist icons is not what they do. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/05/formerly_powerful_democrat_in_ny_state_sentenced_to_12_years_in_the_federal_pen.html
Here is a prime example of how the leftist mainstream media helps their Democrat friends. http://freebeacon.com/politics/networks-blackout-hassan-scandal/? Think they would have done the same if a Republican? It would be plastered all over the news.
A top German media journalist admits mainstream media reporting is more propaganda than truth. Here is what he has to say: "I’ve been a journalist for about 25 years, and I was educated to lie, to betray, and not to tell the truth to the public. But seeing right now within the last months how the German and American media tries to bring war to the people in Europe, to bring war to Russia — this is a point of no return and I’m going to stand up and say it is not right what I have done in the past, to manipulate people, to make propaganda against Russia, and it is not right what my colleagues do and have done in the past because they are bribed to betray the people, not only in Germany." http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-03-28/top-german-journalist-admits-mainstream-media-completely-fake-we-all-lie-cia
Quote: "Americans have little faith in so-called major media news and information, a collective lying machine by any standard, suppressing what’s most important to report, substituting managed news misinformation rubbish. Gallup and other polls show Americans’ trust in mass media around an all-time low. A new American Press Institute (API) report said around half of respondents surveyed expressed “some confidence” in media reporting, over 40% virtually none, API saying: “Over the last two decades, research shows the public has grown increasingly skeptical of the news industry.” “The study reaffirms that consumers do value broad concepts of trust like fairness, balance, accuracy, and completeness. At least two-thirds of Americans cite each of these four general principles as very important to them.”" http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/widespread-public-distrust-mainstream-media/
An excellent synopsis of the mainstream media's mindset. https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2016/04/03/i-review-a-mind-control-review-of-vaxxed/
MSNBC is a joke. It's reporting is typically biased to the far left, facts are ignored or skewered and leftist narratives reported as facts. It is a sorry excuse for a news outlet. http://hotair.com/archives/2016/04/19/msnbc-again-falsely-claims-benghazi-committee-is-the-longest-running-investigation-ever/?
How can anyone condone this behavior? It seems that many on the left think it is fine. The political, media and social left is degenerating into a cesspool of disgusting depths. Quote: "During the production of the video for the song, cops were forced to shut down filming because they feared a riot could have broken out. Despite the violent content of the lyrics, the track is being hailed by the music media. The song has received positive reviews from Billboard.com, the Source, MTV and numerous other outlets." http://www.infowars.com/rap-song-threatens-riots-trump-assassination-media-celebrates/?
This piece entitled "Today's lies, damn lies and statistics" accurately reflects the media and its manipulations that purposely, foolishly or ignorantly mislead the public. http://spectator.org/articles/65957/today’s-lies-damn-lies-and-statistics
This CNN operative has a well deserved reputation as being a leftist activists rather than a journalist. How is it that CNN can tolerate his presence and repeated misrepresentations of the facts? I guess he represents their views. http://patriotupdate.com/cnn-anchor-calls-religious-liberty-code-word-discrimination/
This item does a good job of illustrating the enormous bias and propagandizing of the mainstream media. Quote: "Over the past weeks, the media, President Obama, and Hillary Clinton havelectured Republican presidential candidates that they should change their tone and talk about substance. Republicans are also accused of pitting groups against each other. We are also continually told that what candidates do in their personal lives should be off limits. I thought it might be helpful to examine some of what Democrats have done in the past, including the recent past." http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/04/democrats_utterly_hypocritical_criticizing_gop_rhetoric.html
Leftist media believe it is okay to do things like this. Hand off anything detrimental to leftist/Democrats. Go all out for dirt, lies and anything regarding conservatives, libertarians, Christians and Republicans. Quote: "But never, ever, ever will Democrats be asked to “disavow” the lunatics who support them. The ritualistic demand for “disavowals” is a game played exclusively with Republicans. The media probably can’t believe their luck, tricking Republicans into apologizing for people they have nothing to do with, while the Democrats happily accept the support of cop-killers, rapists, murderers, anti-Semitic race hustlers and domestic terrorists" http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2016/03/02/ann-coulter-trump-wins-disavowal-game-then-super-tuesday/
What do you think of the obvious bias in mainstream media reporting on the abortion issue? http://www.onenewsnow.com/media/2016/03/29/big-three-avoid-all-but-positive-coverage-on-abortion
Jake Tapper was 100% right to chastise Obama for his meddling in media affairs. However, Obama even more deserves to be chastised for his incessant lies, misdeeds and the horrible job he has done as president. http://freebeacon.com/politics/tapper-blasts-obama-hypocrite-lecturing-press-jobs/?
Dirty media operative is caught on camera rigging interview to make sure it promoted Hillary. http://conservativetribune.com/reporter-gets-caught-rigging/
Talk about media and Democratic bias. This has to be near the top of the list. http://patriotupdate.com/kkk-leader-endorses-democrat-president-media-silent/
