Top Ten Things Wrong with the Mainstream Media in the United States
Mainstream media these days is absolutely awful, biased towards one side or another, and often twist stories to make them seem worse than they are. We are looking at the top ten things wrong with the mainstream media.I have been hearing for a bit of years now how they try to sympathy of one side, and make the other things look bad. Its been overdone to the point they don't even bother covering it up like they use to back than. Its more like less like what alternative news source can you go with no bias party involved anymore is where it all comes down to in honest story telling.
Just look at the Covington Catholic High School students story, how they supposedly went after a Native American man. The media found the opportunity to twist this story and to pounce on these boys just because they were Christian Trump supporters at a pro life rally. I read the mainstream media’s lies about this incident, and it was disgusting.
Literally every major news network does this now it’s ridiculous how instead of just giving us the facts they only focus on what makes their side look good. Now instead of getting news you have to pick a network that caters to your beliefs
Virtually every mainstream news site does this and it shows that they can't be trusted. Honestly I'd listen to "fake" news before CNN or Fox.
I wish the mainstream media was as liberal as it is made out to be, because then maybe it would report on all the military interventions the U.S. is involved in overseas. If the media were actually liberal, then it wouldn't be smearing real liberals, like Bernie Sanders, all the time. The mainstream media also regularly trashes on liberal policies, like Medicare for All, that would benefit the average American. The reality is that the mainstream media is owned by multi-billion dollar companies, and as such, it has an establishment bias that favors multi-billion dollar companies. If the mainstream media were truly liberal, then it would be a threat to the billionaire class that owns it.
Rarely can I find both sides of anything with a single news source. It’s 90% liberal and 10% conservative. Want names of liberal sources? CNN, MSNBC, the Huffington Post, the Washington Post, the New York Times, NBC, ABC, BuzzFeed, and USA Today just to name a few.
And they aren't even real liberals.
Just give us the damn news from both viewpoints and leave it at that. We should be able to form opinions on what the news is but nope we have to question what’s true or not because news sources only report what they want to in order to look good
They never let the people form their own opinions. Both sides of the media have done this. They shove their biased opinions down our throats and expect us to agree with them. And if someone doesn’t, they get called out for it. They don’t even give the facts anymore so we can’t even form our own opinion.
Don't conservatives shove their opinions down our throats?
I have seen this one too many times. They often times attack who they like without knowing things about a certain situation.
Don't Conservatives do the same thing?
Mainstream Media (Legacy) is 85-90% left wing bias and is 100% controlled by corporate elites that ensure their CORPORATE/government narrative (propaganda) is repeated and regurgitated over and over year after year until their truth becomes "the truth" period. They know that western world countries in particular have generally lived the good life for over a 100 years now and a large percentage of the population have become apathetic and complacent and so they "don't know and don't care". Social Media is just as bad if not worse. Find independent journalists and even many podcasters and have them earn your trust and thus become informed. LEARN TO DISCERN
Conservatives never acknowledge the MANY THINGS Donald Trump has done wrong since you know, he's not even a politician.
Don’t even say he has not done good things. He pulled us out of the Paris climate accord to combat pollution in the U.S. first, he’s stood up to the Democrats, at times when many conservatives would cave in, he’s creating thousands of jobs everyday, he’s combating dangerous illegal immigrants, he’s protecting the second amendment. But we never hear about those. Instead, the media takes him down for giving the Clemson football team fast food for their visit to the White House. Seriously? They’ll find anything to make Trump look bad.
They really don't. All I here is negative.
This is arguably the worst thing about mainstream media. Very few times, if any, does mainstream media ever post anything about positive stories like successful environmental cleanups, peace brokers, etc. All of what they post tends to involve some negativity of some kind, which they do because of how sensational the story ends up being if something is portrayed negatively. Local news by contrast usually talks about events that citizens can attend, and positives that can come out of it in some way.
Don't all politicians lie on a daily basis?
Just look at the whole BuzzFeed controversy. I’ve also seen a lot of false things in the Washington Post as well.
It’s not lying but rather manipulating the truth to make one side look good. Every news network does this now.
Just browse through some of their websites and channels. What do they look like to you?
But isn't this list conservative propaganda?
Said by a conservative propagandist
They try to make Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders look good, which is quite difficult to do. Liberals are anything but perfect. Both conservatives and liberals have their faults, but they seem to like to expose the conservative faults and make liberals look good. They make people think Obama is the best thing that’s happened to the world since the wheel.
Don't you view Conservatives as people who can do no wrong?
Yeah, there are some conservative criminals, but they are practically saying that all of them are criminals. You want a criminal? Look at Hillary Clinton. But wait, they do not want to make her look bad, so they ignore all the crimes she has committed.
I'm not a Conservative, but I don't like it when they do this. Sure, there are some Conservatives who should be in jail, but not all of them are criminals. Also, there are some Liberals who are criminals.
Don't you view Liberals as criminals?
This pertains a lot to sports media. There are a lot of writers who think they know everything going on inside a certain sports team and misguides everyone to believing what they say, when in reality, they are completely wrong.
Don't you and other Conservatives act like you know everything?
No one knows literally everything.
The Mainstream Media & Media itself is the heart of the Illuminati
Mainstream Media Complex is a information weapon, everyone involved in mainstream media has invested in coups & the media are oligarchs keeping people astray & away for the viewer/viewers are sheep in their eyes, media is more than media, media is no different than any other weapon crafted & engineered by Man. The Mainstream Media Complex was originally meant to favor the people, The Mainstream Media Complex are over-utilizing Big Lies letting the government get away with everything, TikTok users discuss secrets talked about frequently which often relate to the government & The Mainstream Media Complex, if I said anything about the government or the media I'll lose my head speaking out against it. The Media & Government has been against all lives for millennia & they'll silence anyone & everyone to have everything go as planned their way, once everything has happened as planned every country will be no more, the most peaceful nations will be enslaved by force, the most innocent ...more
Yes this a hundred percent correct.
And I don't like that.
