Absolute Proof of Media Bias
Timothy Birdnow
In an election that has been nationalized since control of both chambers of Congress are up for grabs and whoever controls Congress will make or break the Administration's policies, we are treated to the most biased coverage by the media imaginable.
While we would expect nothing less it is still pretty staggering in it's bias scope.
FTA:
KEY FINDINGS:
Ruin for Republicans, Hope for Democrats: From September 1 to September 30, the GOP received 94% negative spin vs. 6% positive spin. The Democrats received far more balanced coverage, 53% negative, 47% positive. The Republicans drew 102 negative evaluations compared to just six positive statements. The Democrats received only 15 percent of the comments -- 10 were negative, nine were positive. With far fewer evaluations, the Democrats still drew more positive statements, nine to six. This doesn't include purely "horse race" or objective polling analysis of Trump or Republican candidates, which was almost completely negative.
Cross-Partisan Pattern: PBS reveled in news of Republicans crossing Trump, either through disagreement or through endorsing Democrats. They touted when "lifelong Republican" politicians endorsed Democrats, or when they made ads criticizing Trump policies as going too far.
Criticism of Trump on mail-in balloting dominated political coverage, with nearly half an hour of negative coverage. PBS was overtly hostile to the Trump administration's efforts to prevent illegal aliens from voting by mail.
Bias by Omission: PBS ignored increasing Democratic ideological radicalism, such as the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America. "Public" broadcasting has proven itself incapable of finding anyone or anything extreme on the Left.
While this is par for the course with the corporate media, it is still astonishing how brazen it is.
BTW I would like to point out PBS is still out there and abusing Conservatives. You may remember it was defunded by the President. For decades it received government funding to insult us and we were told defunding it would cause it to go out of business, yet here we are. Oh wait; a Federal judge struck down Trump's defunding and restored OUR TAX DOLLARS to the vile institution known as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. And the Republican controlled Congress did nothing about it.
We are funding our own destruction.
I just heard a plug for NBC News, saying they give "just the facts -unbiased reporting" I hope you didn't have any coffee in your mouth when you read that.
Yes, cable covered the stories, especially Fox. But ABC, CBS, and NBC did not mentioin it one single solitary time.
The tail has been wagging the dog for a hundred years or better now and it's past time for that to stop. The new technology makes it possible to get the truth out to the public. Sadly too many people still get their news from corporate media or from their smart phones, where they get the radical leftist stuff like Yahoo News.
This is disgraceful and we must find a way to hurt these propaganda organs in some way. The best way is to not watch them and to boycott their sponsors. I'm for that.
