Point is the media landscape is not the oh-so-unfair injustice you're implying.

Conservatives have raised victimhood to an art form.

Pointed missed, i was committing on how the left wing media build up thier villians if you followed the thread.

Well aware there are ring wing outlets out there even if its not as many, but its growing. (And they don't talk nicely about the left).

 

[jim_shoes]

Is Sean Hannity right wing enough?

You watch hannity?

 

[jim_shoes]

There's one in there now. Biden is the worst thing to ever happen to that country, just ask anyone from Fox News.

They think he is a doofus not evil.

How cooked are you to claim ESPN is left wing.

Care to share his previous words that disqualify him from committing that the speach would be a CF?

Of course the riot was a CF too and my stance that the fools that went into captial should be in jail should more than enough for you but isnt.

DeSantis calls insurrection ‘really unfortunate’ and ‘really a sad thing to see’

Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday that last week’s insurrection “was a really unfortunate thing,” adding that “it was really, really a sad thing to see.” He condemned the…

Jan 6 = "really unfortunate"
Jan 6 memorial = political CF

Great, thanks Ron for that scathing assessment of both events, totally consistent

At least he could bring himself to actually note something about Jan 6 though I suppose. Cats got his tongue whenever anyone asks him about Trump's role.

"Pelosi and the gang" though... "nauseating" apparently ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well it is the injustice he is implying.

On one side you (sometimes) evidenced based and (sometimes) balanced media which is clearly an injustice.

On jim_shoes side you have "no reasonable viewer would take the networks primetime star Tucker Carlson seriously" - and this statement stood up in court

 

[jim_shoes]

And? Ya reckon Fox et al aren't spinning "left wing bad and evil" on the daily?

The very definition of business as usual.

Yeah fox do, once source as usual. Where are the late night shows? Sportscasters? Newspapers? Social media?

Yes, just as right wing media build up theirs. Biden is a communist, dontcha know?

Good job making that point. In other news, sky blue and water wet.

They think he is a doofus not evil.

Incorrect.

Not at all, they push a very left wing agenda and they are owned by Disney another left wing pusher

Ah yes the evidence based media that had to pay millions to Nick Sandmann

Yeah they don't talk nicely about the left and if you want to buy that, thats on you. There are so many guys here that buy the lefts version its not funny.

And good job, you found a headline that says evil in it and didn't watch the video.

Just watching Biden call the Grizzlies Warriors game on ESPN.

 

[bourbons]

Yeah fox do, once source as usual. Where are the late night shows? Sportscasters? Newspapers? Social media?

Ok, so the biggest cable news org on the planet do. We're back to the market deciding with most of the rest.

Late night shows - if there was cash to be made out of a right leaning show offering that kind of content, you think people wouldn't be having a crack?
Sportscasters - you'll need to provide some examples
Newspapers - you'll find some examples in the initial list of right wing orgs I posted
Social media - while they're private companies its a pointless discussion, they can run their business however they want (all comes back to maximising profit - you think they make the decisions and bans they do out of the good of their little SJW hearts?). Even nutters like Alex Jones have acknowledged this (in the distant past mind you, which makes his tanty about getting de-platformed all the more hilarious). Should they be private companies? Probably not, they're more utilities at this point. God knows how you break them up while retaining functionality though. And right wing socials are available, but they're generally not as popular - again, market decides.

Now, related point - are the attacks on Biden and the left generally as overt, pervasive (and at times hysterical) as the attacks on Trump? Probably not, but there's a perfectly good reason for that - at some point you do kinda have to engage with reality and acknowledge he was he most divisive, non-filtered, polarizing and toxic public persona to hold the office of POTUS, probably ever. Like yeah, no shit he's going to elicit some the comments and reporting he did.

Thinking he should be entitled to some kind of baseline or normalised standard in terms of reporting is one of the most bizarre expectations I've ever heard.

Fair but then you would have to say the same about the right wing media.

Not sure on your views about this, guessing pretty balanced, other people on here not so much.

Fox News is entertainment, not news reporting.
They even admitted that in court.
Gilligan's Island was entertainment. I didn't watch it to be informed about anything.
Why should I watch Fox News then?

I think coverage from any news service with a lean towards one side should be taken with a grain of salt - acknowledge biases exist and move on.

Not at all, they push a very left wing agenda and they are owned by Disney another left wing pusher

Disney are a monopolistic corporation who, through Marvel in particular, regularly work with the US military, State Department and weapons manufacturers to provide jingoistic, propagandistic support to the war machine complex.

To call Disney left wing is to show that essentially your idea of left vs right is woke vs un-woke capitalism, an extremely narrow parameter, but the only one in which one could find themselves passionately caring about the inane battles Republicans are constantly waging.

Capitalistic monoliths don't have wings but rush to any market opportunity where revenue can be exploited. If Fox lost their stranglehold on the right wing market, that space would be quickly filled by any of the larger companies in pursuit of market share.

No-one on the right uncritically buys the version Fox et al are selling though, no sireee

I mean.. its on Fox's YouTube channel, they titled it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For what it's worth to you I respect this post.

I agree there with alot that you have to say with some minor differences. Trump was divisive and non filtered and all bets where off with him. Problem is now the next guy (looking like de santis) has the worse but he is not even close.

Are you thick? Want to tell me about your tests for respiratory illnesses? Or did the doc tell you (if you bothered to go) "here's a certificate for a few days off work. Take Panadol for any headaches and throat Lollies to help with your sore throat".

The unique characteristics of COVID (ie its extraordinary virulence coupled with wildly varying effects ranging from complete asymptomaticity to horrific rapid onset of symptoms leading to death) has been like a honeypot for thickheads, and, far worse, pretend thickheads who gull genuine thickheads into idolising the likes of Trump.

Im sure people do and how many posters in the SPR board buy into the left wing narrative? Alot! Look how many are posting here
