The surname of the Dana Scully character on the television show The X-Files is an homage to Vin Scully, as the show's creator Chris Carter is a Dodgers fan; Scully himself can be heard calling a game in the Season 6 episode "The Unnatural"

Nice try with the Peter Pan links but nope.

 

Chris Carter:. All he does is write bad TV shows.

I wonder how many white power signs the Cubs' manager flashes during a game while signaling the base runners and batters...

That sign is as old as Satchell Paige. It means "Steal, Cracker".

Just to show how much bias there is in our news media, the Hill has two, top of the web page, stories about SNL skits last night and CNN has one at the top of their homepage.

Headline News stories about comedy skits that attack Republicans and Trump. 

 

That's NOT news !

 

""What would it take for President Trump to lose your support?""

 

And of course, the funnier skit would be "What would it take for you TO vote for Donald Trump.

The New York Slimes have to be the dumbest MFer's on the planet.

 

Everyone knew this about Trump and yet they published this nonsense anyways.

 

What a worse entity The New York Slimes are.

Google´s left-leaning media bias revealed: How CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post were promoted over their right-wing counterparts by the search engine*

by Jennifer Smith

 

Original Article

 

Google´s bias towards left-wing media outlets has been laid bare by an algorithm which detected that it favors sites including CNN and The New York Times over others. According to data compiled by researchers from Northwestern University, the search engine promoted those sites over others repeatedly in November 2017. Of the 6,302 articles that appeared in Google´s ´top stories´ page that month after a term was searched, more than 10 percent were by CNN. The New York Times was the second most favored and accounted for 6.5 percent of articles. The Washington Post was third with 5.6 percent.

I may be wrong, but so much that goes into the natural search ranking is total impressions, links to other sites, clicks etc. More people lean left, more media leans left, hense CNN, NYT, and WAPO naturally will be top of the list. Maybe someone that has a much deeper understanding of the rankings and SEO can weigh in, but this seems to not offer any substance, only the recognition that more people get their news from those sources than other sources.

 

I mean, all I hear is the MSM leans left, it is the entirety of this thread, so those search results make perfect sense to me

The issue is they (google/FB/Twitter/Insta) rig the whole game, suppressing sites/articles/opinions that don't conform to their own political agenda as a company. Which makes those impressions even higher than they'd otherwise be.

No one knows Google's exact algorithm as it is tweaked daily.  
(edited to add: "no one" refers to the average person, or even an SEO "expert", not google itself)

"Good" linkbacks from other "good" (ie not spam as designated by... Google) sites are a strong indicator of a "good source".  This is going beyond that. When a story comes out from 5 sites, the point is if a "conservative" leaning site breaks the source (and is credited by CNN, WaPo, NYT, etc), it will not rank first, the "left" leaning site will.  I am assuming every one of those sites is in the 90s for (supposedly non-existent) google authority (Fox, CNN, WaPo, NYT, etc) so all things being equal, the conservative site should rank 1st as it broke the story, has credited links, and equal authority -  on a clean browser (nothing with handy-dandy google tracking on it).  That is not the case. The same thing is happening with the carousels and other google images. It is all manipulated by Google to lean the way they (google) would like.

Duckduckgo.com  It has come a long way. ?

Democrats now adopting a consistent strategy of claiming that calling out their lies and antisemitism is incitement.

 

Only happening because media won’t call them out.

Good thing they have zero influence for the next 8 or so years

Good for her! 

 

"Hate-for-profit works only if there’s profit, so Fox News balances a mix of bigotry, racism, and outright lies with enough legit journalism to make the claim to advertisers that it’s a reputable news outlet. It’s all about dragging in ad money — big ad money.”

Since Gator was too stupid to reference his quote:

 

 Liz Warren: ‘Fox News Is a Hate-For-Profit Racket That Gives a Megaphone to Racists and Conspiracists.’

I EAGERLY AWAIT THE MEDIA’S CONDEMNATION OF THIS ATTACK ON THE FREE PRESS  ?

 

Of course, the fact that several of her Clown Car Candidates have already done a successful "Town Hall" on Fox couldn't have been a factor...........right ?  ?

 

Apparently declaring Fox News “a hate-for-profit racket” was only the beginning of Elizabeth Warren’s latest crusade. Because from the looks of things, she’s just posted this on Instagram

 

 

Images of Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Judge Jeanine, and Laura Ingraham

This kind of stuff is called incitement when POTUS does it to CNN

 

Ahhhh leftists..............don't ever change....Related image

Once again I’m left feeling like Ralphie in “A Christmas Story” after he finally gets the Li’l Orphan Annie decoder pin.

 

Warren’s big anti-Fox-News play was ...............… a crummy commercial?

?

 

“instead of helping Fox News turn a fatter profit, I’ll keep building the grassroots movement that we need to win in 2020 and make real change starting in 2021. If you’re with me, will you pitch in $3...?”

 

Her “no Fox News” policy, recent though it is, seems to have been well received on activist left-wing websites today, which of course was the point. 

 

 

A scary graphic singling out individual hosts accompanied by language about “stopping” a media outlet would have earned some stern words about incitement and the First Amendment from our journalism guild had it come from a Republican, and not just Trump. Warren will be given a pass because, well, the rules for Democrats are different.

 

Image result for laughing horse

Fox gives Juan Williams more time than the rest of the panel combined to sputter his drivel

 

and Dem House members are on most shows get a fair shake on Fox

 

its okay to have a little give and take on views, it’s how truth is found

Isn't Cali already trying to rig their ballots so Trump can't be on it in 2020?

They're attempting to make a law that says anyone not releasing their income tax records cannot be on the ballot in CA. The problem with that is that they don't get to write the specs for a federal election.
