Disproportionate weight for or against a person, place, idea or thing, usually ignoring evidence against.
~ Aristotle Sabouni |
| Title | Summary |
|---|---|
| 2017.04.11 Spicer: Hitler didn't use chemical weapons | Sean Spicer (Press Secretary) misspoke and apologized/corrected himself in the same news-conference (while talking about chemical weapons). Far-left outfits (CNN, CBS, MSNBC, Snopes, Politifact), ignored the correction/clarification and used the gaff as a way to attack Spicer and Trump, and spin a non-story into evidence of why they were a bad administration. |
| ABC | ABC has quite a bit of bias, here are some examples of their left-wing woke stupidity. The ratings dog that won't die: The View. Canceling a show with great ratings for its time slot: the ironically named, "Last Man Standing", that went on to do great on another channel. |
| ACLU | A once reliable non-partisan Civil Liberties organization, they devolved to align with the DNC over civil liberties. You can't be for minority rights and not for individual rights, as the smallest minority is one... yet, when given the choice, they often choose collective rights over individuals, support racism to fix racism (affirmative action), and ignore parts of the constitution they don't like. |
| My Bias (1974) | Everyone is biased, I'm open about mine, so that people can decide if I'm right in spite of them, or where I go wrong (if they disagree). It started in 5th grade when I learned early that the School textbooks and teachers were indoctrinating me with lies (spin). So cynical skepticism (what's the other side of the story) was ingrained early, and forms my world view. |
| Bloomberg | A privately held financial, software, data, and media company headquartered in Midtown Manhattan, founded by Michael Bloomberg in 1981. |
| Tom Brokaw | Once considered the paragon of a fair Journalism (at least to the gullible or left), history has shown how partisan and biased he was all along. Also sexual aggressor (according to MeToo). |
| CNN | 1980 Ted Turner started CNN to put his left center spin on "the news", along with his later marriage to Hanoi Jane Fonda. He wanted to be the 24 hour, more left version of the already left of center news outlets like CBS, ABC, NBC, and rather than fill airtime with deeper stories, he'd use far left op-ed fluff. |
| Checking the Checkers: Clinton Speech | For Trump, the FakeFactCheckers twisted 11 truths into lies and ignored 43 true facts. With Hillary, they went the other way. They ignored 59 lies, and checked 16 points. 8 of which were used to attack Trump on, 8 others were watered down. The point is the Fact Checkers embarassed themselves with their blatant bias/double-standards. |
| Checking the Checkers: Clinton vs Trump speeches | Comparing how the AP "Fact Checked" two speeches. The double-standard is hysterical, in both meanings of the word. |
| Checking the Checkers: Trump Speech | The AP (Administration's Press) did the DNC version of fact checking; which is to spin everything for the Democrat. It's embarrassingly bad journalism, and really just an op-ed piece by a Clinton supporter. Basically true 43 facts they ignored, 11 they tried to correct (but were wrong on 8), 3 were poorly worded. |
| Cultural Marxism | Cultural Marxism is a branch of Marxist ideology formulated by the Frankfurt School, which uses political correctness to undermine/politicize all traditional institutions and social norms; Art, Books, Film/TV, Education, Science, Sexuality, Religion, History, Patriotism (National Sovereignty), and so on |
| Democracy Dies in Darkness | Washington Post's slogan is "Democracy Dies in Darkness". While intended as a barb at Trump, it's become more a motto. These are stories the media killed, sat on, or delayed, because it didn't fit their agenda; how biased the media has become and is willing to snuff out (temporarily or permanently) the truth for their political agenda, and misinform their readers/voters. |
| Fact Checkers | There's a reason why the moderately informed don't trust the Fact Checkers: the answer is most fact checkers are as biased (or more so) than the rest of the publications they work for. Who moderates the moderators? |
| Fact Checking Biases | There are many forms of bias when doing studies or trying to analyze data like: #Selection Bias (what they pick), #Oversampling Bias (picking the same thing over, or minute variants), #Standards Bias (not holding both sides to the same standard), and so on. |
| FactCheck.org | Annenberg's FactCheck.org is another far-left front posing as a non-partisan fact checker. They take money from Facebook, then spin stories/facts left, giving Facebook cover for censoring "disinformation" aka uncomfortable truths they don't like. History shows that FactCheck.org was partisan fraud for a long time back. |
| Fake News | While the term goes back 100 years, the history is summed up well in a Sharyl Attkisson. While our media has always had false narratives and bad stories that are Fake News, we didn't use the term "Fake News". We called it liberal media bias or journalistic incompetence, but it's been around since the first liberal got sloppy somewhere back in Roman times. |
| Fake News Orgs | While our media has always had false narratives and bad stories that are Fake News Clinton supporters (Googe/Eric Schmidt) re-popularized the term to try to attack conservatives, and it backlashed against the mainstream liberal media big time: since they made more errors and were less honest. Here are some examples. |
| Fake Newsmen | Fake Newsmen are nothing new; posers who are partisan polemics pretending to be Journalists, comedians, commentators, or commentators. Real Journalists used to be trained to try to give both sides of a story and trust their readers, or at least maintain the facade of unbiased reporting. Modern ones censor, omit, or actively skew. That's not a newsman, that's a polemic. |
| Kathy Griffin | Kathy is a whiney, rude, shock-jock of comedy. Not quite as bad as many of her ilk: Sarah Silverman, Rosey O'Donnel, Samantha Bee and such.. but still a generally caustic and only occasionally funny human being. Yet with visions of competence and entitlement. |
| History of Cable News Channels | CNN entered the left-wing propaganda-as-news market in 1980, 1996 FoxNews/MSNBC came on the scene as the antidote and farther left alternatives. FoxNews found the underserved 75% that was moderate or conservative. MSNBC shaved away those that perfered their leftist dogma in suppository form. Leaving CNN the gullible middle left and sex offenders. |
| Huffington Post | HuffPo is a mockery of new journalism. The rules to get published seem to be (1) be popular (2) be wrong on everything you post (3) be sensitive to any corrections (4) have a flock of trolls. They are proof that popularity has no correlation to quality of information. |
| Jimmy Kimmel | Unfunny, Misogynist pseudo-commedian of the Man Show, before he became woke host of late night TV. Instead of the Johnny Carson tradition of poking at both sides, Kimmel became Jon Steward (an SJW moron) who alienates anyone who values fairness. And earneed lower ratings, lower audience IQ, and won all sorts of Hollywood awards. |
| MOAB: Mother of All Bombs (2011) | FakeNews (NYT, LAT, Time, CNBC, ThinkProgress), claims the MOAB (Mother of All Bombs) costs $314 Million, revised to $16M, it was actually $170K. Only off by 185,000%. Anyone with common sense and an understanding of the basics would have questioned it. Nobody in those institutions caught it, or cared, because it fit an agenda. |
| Rachel Maddow | This is more about some of the many of reasons her detractors are not fans. (You can get the propaganda and puffiness about how great she is from her or MSNBC). She answers the question of how low a journalist can go, if they lacked brains or ethics, and sincerely believed every anti-conservative conspiracy theory out there. |
| Media Bias | There are people who are either too biased (or aren't paying attention) to realize how biased the media is. We're not going to convince each other of anything: me with proof, and them by denying it. So this article isn't for "them". It's just a place for me to collect example's of media bias, for those rational enough to consider them. |
| Mika Brzezinski | She embarrassed herself (and journalism) by revealing what someone said off-camera in a private conversation (when they weren't there to defend themselves). Her continued employment (after revealing private gossip) shows how low of standards that MSNBC/NBC has. Tucker Carlson eviscerated her for that. |
| NPR | State dept. and Air America in the 1930's was infiltrated by communists. McCarthy showed that they never left, they just moved around. NPR is evidence that this is as true today as it was back then. I listened to them for years on my commute, and could count a few times a day they did leftist spin, and can think of no examples of them taking a conservative or moderate position. |
| New York Times | A never great News Agency has become a shadow of their former self: admittedly biased by their own Ombudsman and editors. Occasionally good content can't make up for their more frequent bad, or their willingness to deceive, commit lies of omission, or present things in a biased way. (Never trusting their readership with the whole truth). |
| Occupy Democrats | They exist to take things out of context, lie, distort, and feel that any means to their ends is justified (of furthering the power of government over the people). At least based on their actions. If you can't look at anything they post, and find at least 10 things wrong with it, then you're not qualified (critical thinker) to have an adult discussion on any topic. |
| PBS | PBS news has two solutions to every problem: (1) "government failed to solve this, or made it worse: the solution is more government", or (2) "I know, let's pass a law/regulation/tax to fix it". When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. And when you're subsidized by the Government, you're going to promote more Government. |
| PayPal | An online paying service started by Elon Musk and sold to Ebay. Became woke, and started attacking customers for wrongthink. |
| PolitiFact | They have a long history of (a) cherry picking data to fit a leftist narrative (b) oversampling the right (selection bias) (c) being pedantic to find excuses to correct the right on technicalities or to excuse/ignore the left on much broader/worse errors (d) not correcting errors when found (e) attacking those that point out the errors. They're a partisan mouthpiece for the far left, pretending to be non-partisan. |
| Politico | Left-of-center John F. Harris, and the slightly less left-of-center Jim VandeHei got funding for a DC tabloid journalism (rumor mongering) on the DC set. Sort of what HuffingtonPost was to Hollywood, but only for DC. Like reddit or twitchy; lots of crap but they allow turds layers from both sides, and you can find some treasures in the sewage. |
| Dan Rather | Dan has it all: a career of sloppy rumormongering, fired from CBS for failing to vet forged documents (in order to undermine an election), suing CBS and losing, and still defending his actions to this day. He started his career reporting JFK's death before he could have it verified, took Vietcong's side in the Vietnam war, dressing up as a mujahideen fighter during Afghanistan war. |
| Red Flag Laws | You can get a whiff of the bias at Wikipedia if you read the section on Red Flag Laws (especially Talk, now burried). Those opposed to Red Flag Laws offered information about Gary Willis (killed while enforcing Reg Flag Laws). Fee articles explaining the consequences/tradeoffs. Examples of abuse of those laws section was proposed and rejected. All was blocked/suppressed under various excuses. Suppressing counterbalance is propaganda. |
| SPLC | The Southern Poverty Law Center is a far left site created to fear-monger for money. Their platform is used to attack anyone on the right, and by their own standards, they would qualify as a hate-group... if they applied their standards to themselves. |
| Chuck Schumer | I hate hypocrisy and duplicity. All Politicians flip-fop and occasionally shift positions. And views must shift a little as political winds change. I find it over-sensational to cry wolf on these adaptations. But with Chuck Schumer (and a few other Democrats), it's nothing like that, it's 180° pivots, almost immediately and in the most caustic, abrasive and insulting ways. |
| Scientific American | A left biased popular "Science" magazine that occasionally lets a good article or two past their woke staff. They do have stuff worth reading and I read it. But if there's a bias, it'll always be left. |
| Snopes | Snopes was created by California couple Barbara and David Mikkelson to covert alt.folklore.urban newsgroup into a website. Despite a cabal of liberal editors, most of Snopes isn't that bad... but mostly fair is synonymous with unfair, and it is far from the paragon of objectivity some pretend. Virtually all errors or biases lean left, thus all sources that rely on them lean the same way. |
| Sean Spicer | Media hated Sean Spicer (Press Secretary), almost as much as Sarah Sanders, not for what they did, or how they did it, but because they were part of Trump's administration. So they attacked relentlessly. Slips that were corrected immediately were attacked. While circling back, or evading/lying by Democrat Press Secretaries, was allowed/ignored. |
| The Atlantic | A far-left magazine that occasionally lets a good article or two through. I had some hope when they hired the prolific conservative intellectual, Kevin Williamson, but then they fired him for thoughtcrime of having once written a pro-life article, showing that they do not value diversity of thought at the Atlantic. |
| The Hill | Far left DC based Newspaper, founded by far lefty, mixing news with disinformation. Like WaPo, with more tabloid. |
| The Root | I've watched a few things by The Root and this presenter. They're a propaganda outfit (funded by the Russians?). They do NOT present the FULL facts, though there are a few grains of truth, wrapped in lies and lies of omission. They show how racists see everything as racism, and how the left will prey on the gullible with exaggerations, distortions and half-truths (at best). |
| Chuck Todd | A college drop-out and NBC partisan moderator of NBC's Meet the Press (and on-air political analyst), ex-Chief White House correspondent for MSNBC, and Political Director for NBC News. Which makes him a partisan with some sketchy events posing as Journalism. |
| USA Today | USAToday has a long history of dumb, and they should have been renamed USSA (United Socialist States of America) because that seems to be their bend/lean. But here's an example of their dumb. |
| Vice | A hard left outlet, that exists to twist every news story from a hard left PoV. The worst of WaPo, HuffPo and a basement blogger, all screaming against the injustices of the anyone with a clue. They were created as a pump-and-dump scam, that seems to have been successful. Sensationalism sells. |
| Wall Street Journal | Wall Street Journal used to be a New York finance paper, that became another paper. They have a little better reputation as a centrist paper, but they're still in New York, thus they're kind of hit or miss. Some good reporting, some bad... some stuff to irk both sides. They often provide counter-balance to the NYT or WaPo. But have their misses too. |
| Washington Post | A once great paper, now a liberal fake news rag that looks more like Bezos Blog (or the DNC's blog) than an objective Newspaper. To be fair, WaPo was always walking in the Grey Lady's (NYT's) shadow, and Jeff Bezos acquisition didn't change much... now that the NYT in the mud, it's no surprise that WaPo is crawling in the sewer. Here is a partial list of falsehoods, embarrassments, and mistakes. |
| Wikipedia | Wikipedia is both hit and miss, with a lot more hits than misses. I reference it a lot, because most articles are pretty good or good enough. But a few are very biased, and virtually all bias leans far left. Usually it's more lies of omission and not offering both sides. So they are referencable, but the most interesting stuff is often omitted, or in the talk section. |
