I'm curious ... Was he being sarcastic? Doubtful. Chris Wallace is definitely not Pro-Trump or pro-Republican party. Chris Wallace is a registered Democrat. As a matter of fact, FoxNews is not pro Trump. The last time people did the media bias study it found Fox ran negative Trump/the Trump Administration stories 52% of the time. Positive stores were 48% of the time. That indicates a fairly balances station, but since the negative pieces are more than 50%, it is not pro. And, you must have missed it. Trump has been recommending OANN. ? Now, that network is definitely pro-Trump. I am not certain I have ever seen a piece that shows Trump/the Trump administration in a negative light on OANN, although I must admit I seldom watch the network (sometimes when waiting for a presser to start, and then youtube clips). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 CNN’s ‘Reliable Sources’ newsletter quotes anti-Trump actor to support claim that the president’s insane CNN’s “Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter has been known to host such sources as reliable as Michael Avenatti, Dan Rather and others on a regular basis, but the show also has a newsletter that’s equally credible. The topic at hand in one section of Monday’s newsletter is President Trump’s sanity, and the experts quoted include actor Bryan Cranston: “Reliable Sources” y’all! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OANN LOL Mainstream media. I've only heard of it via reports. I'll stick with the numerous news feeds I get from Yahoo. I can choose which to click and which to ignore. I agree that there has been a lot of push back from Fox News personalities. Good on them for calling out FAKE news. Again it is about America and its people and not ratings. It is not a Reality TV popularity contest IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I didn't know where else to put this. This was an article that was written by Matt Taibbi from Rolling Stones, and I sort of view him as a Sister Souljah journalist of the left. He is a true and blue liberal and probably much more so than most of the mainstream media hacks. Just a phenomenally written article and I highly recommend it for good reading. This was a great take in the article: Quote Journalists are professional test-crammers. Our job is to get an assignment on Monday morning and by Tuesday evening act like we’re authorities on intellectual piracy, the civil war in Yemen, Iowa caucus procedure, the coronavirus, whatever. We actually know jack: we speed-read, make a few phone calls, and in a snap people are inviting us on television to tell millions of people what to think about the complex issues of the world. - I think this perfectly encapsulates the vapidity of how information is disseminated from people who are not knowledgeable about a topic who have clear biases on which source they want to absorb and how they relay that information to the masses who are unwilling to research it further and often times take what they hear as gospel from outlets that tend to reaffirm their confirmation bias. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Spot on. Just watch any ‘news’ show these days and you’ll see the same people commenting on every story from disease, to politics, to the economy, to foreign wars! They’re not experts. They’re just people with opinions...like everyone else in America. And they are more often than not, not the brightest bulbs in the pack. Their lack of logical thinking and/or true factual analysis is downright stunning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Matt is as talented a news pundit as we currently have. He is a staunch liberal, but somewhat like Turley and Dershowitz, he sees the real lay of the land and how the playing field is tilted so much that it can’t be countenanced with a clean conscience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand different views I do not agree with. What I really hate is the purely political, hypocrites who see it bad for one side, not bad for the other in similar circumstances. The Biden story is a great example. When a R, believe the accuser and get no due process. With a D, not credible and deserves due process. Be consistent and while I may not agree, I can respect that person. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought I'd be singing Matt Taibbi's and Glenn Grenwald's praises. But here I am. Completely disagree with their politics, but AFAIK the only left-leaning journalists who didn't abandon their principles despite what they think of the orange guy in the Oval. My biggest issue with modern journalism is the lack of independent research and verification anyone does. The job is basically parroting a 'scoop" another news outlet has put forward. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
