Media Bias Against Trump

I think the news media largely delegitimized themselves to supports of Bernie Sanders by almost completely ignoring his campaign and showing favoritism to Clinton in debate coverage, and at the same time delegitimized themselves to everyone who isn't a Donald Trump supporter by covering Trump's campaign in such meticulous detail that the other candidates of both parties (including Clinton) got only the barest minimum of coverage.The media didn't give Trump free publicity becaus

When the media constantly focuses on him as the target, it starts to feel as though they don't really care about the story they're pushing, they only want you to notice how many of these bad things are associated with Trump. It seems dishonest. Personally, I think a better example would have been the wage gap myth; the author could have even noted that Obama was guilty of promoting it. (Disclaimer: I voted for Obama and I did not vote for Trump).

Not sure what podcasts you are referring to, I don’t listen to any.I don’t have a horse in this race. Don’t care for Trump or Biden. There’s other people in the world that would make much better leaders than these two, but this is all besides the point.Here is my beef: instead of just reporting, the media is invested in producing a specific outcome.For 5 years now they are trying their best to make Trump and his supporters into bigger idiots than they actually are.They are trying the

I think the media went out of their way to slant things towards Hillary in this election. I suspect they consensus in the media was something like "we created this monster, now we have to kill it" regarding Trump.To me this was both wrong, since it basically ignored the basic responsibility of the media in our civilization, and counter productive, since it was so obvious that they were 'in the bag' that people stopped trusting the major news outlets entirely and started g

How about they start adhering to the practices that made journalism a cornerstone of functioning democracies for so long? Such as reporting all the facts critically, and not approaching each story from the same, tired left-wing liberal agenda. (I say this as a left wing liberal). The guardian and most of the left leaning media was asleep when the DNC steamrolled HTC through. They were asleep to the possibility of a Trump candidacy and presidency, and fell into his trap by giving virtually unlimi

I had so many conversations after he was elected about how the media really needed to play the straight man to his crazy or risk creating a "boy who cried wolf" effect, but that point of view seems to be the exception, as I hear people clamoring for more opinionated NPR pretty regularly. (And NPR has gotten significantly more opinionated over that last handful of years from what I can tell.)(That said, I do think it makes sense that Trump and those connected to him are creating many

I don't think they place much trust in any of it. Which is the way media should be consumed. The blatant bias and lack of integrity of media was pretty stark in the runup to the 2016 election, and has only become worse after it.Litmus test for you: do you believe that "both sides" comment by Trump was referring to neo-nazis? If you do, you've been lied to, and you need to read the full transcript. If you read it, you will see that he was referring to people for and against

100% true. And let's recall the Time article how the media in US conspired against Trump: https://www.worldtribune.com/time-magazine-all-but-confirms-...

Yes you are correct, you did read a different article, that’s the core problem. A large portion of Trump’s base still believes that fishy things happened in the election, if the journalist covering this story wanted to cover this without bias and truly believes that the program is a net positive (which I agree is probably true) they shouldn’t be injecting divisive politics into their coverage as these people are completely done with the media at this point, the OP is going easy describing what s

A few months ago there was non-stop coverage of the president purportedly saying very mean things about soldiers. This was from an anonymous source. Even Bolton who is no fan of the president said that it didn't happen. It got 24/7 playtime by the media.Now on the other day the NYPost has a narrative, with physical evidence, corrobrated by actual non-anonymous people alleging very bad things about a presidential candidate and what happens? Nothing. As usual 'the powers that be&
