What is the difference between Americans proud to be American and those that hate America....Knowledge!

[Moonglow]

Given the following which I know,I know... is too much information for the average American's attention span of 8.5 seconds...
Fact: The Human Attention Span [INFOGRAPHIC] | Wyzowl

I have no problem with the MSM donating to Democrats. Not an issue!
BUT the media should NOT be biased in their news presentations as that's what they TOUT contrary to the following examples:

Their job is it report the news... NOT bias the news, regardless of Trump's and many like him who attack the biased MSM.
I learned that 60 years ago in my journalism courses in college!
As a reporter.. the 5 "Ws" is the guideline, who, what,when,where,why!
What today's biased MSM reporters as this study shows are more likely to emphasize the "Why" and as such personal opinions.
The way it use to be before biased liberal news was..
Trump (Who) announced donation of his salary (What), today(When) in D.C. (Where) as part of his administration. (Why)
Now if you still don't believe my above example read the headline from USATODAY..
President Donald Trump donates his salary, but he still makes money

Fact check: President Donald Trump donates his salary, but he still makes money

Social media claims that President Donald Trump works for no money are not totally accurate.

www.usatoday.com

This grossly negative and BIASED article goes on...

...Posts of that nature contain a degree of truth, but are misleading.
Trump, as promised during his campaign, does write checks to various agencies equivalent to a quarter of his annual salary every quarter.
But this does not mean he earns no money.
This notion is misleading because Trump continues to profit off of real estate he owns or manages...
-----------
This is negative news. Blame Trump for donating his salary because he makes money otherwise!
This is what "biased negative news" from the BIASED MSM looks like!
But fortunately fewer and fewer Americans are like you that don't comprehend what the following studies by researchers validate:

February 15, 2023, 1:13 PM CST​

Trust in media is so low that half of Americans now believe that news organizations deliberately mislead them​

The survey, released Wednesday by Gallup and the Knight Foundation, goes beyond others that have shown a low level of trust in the media to the startling point where many believe there is an intent to deceive.
Asked whether they agreed with the statement that national news organizations do not intend to mislead,
50% said they disagreed. Only 25% agreed, the study found.

Similarly, 52% disagreed with a statement that disseminators of national news “care about the best interests of their readers, viewers and listeners,”
the study found.

Trust in media is so low that half of Americans now believe that news organizations deliberately mislead them

Only 23% of respondents believed journalists were acting in the public's best interests.

And not surprising..
Researchers from Arizona State University and Texas A&M University questioned 462 financial journalists around the country.
They followed up with 18 additional interviews.
The journalists worked for the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Washington Post, Associated Press and a number of other newspapers.
What they found surprised them. Even the supposedly hard-nosed financial reporters were overwhelmingly liberal.

Of the 462 people surveyed, 17.63% called themselves "very liberal," while 40.84% described themselves as "somewhat liberal."
When you add it up, 58.47% admit to being left of center. Along with that, another 37.12% claim to be "moderate."

Media Bias: Pretty Much All Of Journalism Now Leans Left, Study Shows

The media have drifted to the far left on the political spectrum. Yet again, a major study of media bias shows just how far from the center they are.

www.investors.com

So what do Americans think about the Biased MSM?
Just 7% of Americans have "a great deal" of trust and confidence in the media, and 27% have "a fair amount."
Meanwhile, 28% of U.S. adults say they do not have very much confidence and 38% have none at all in newspapers,

Americans' Trust In Media Remains Near Record Low

Americans' trust in the media to report the news fully, accurately and fairly remains near the historical low, with sharply differing views among partisans.

news.gallup.com

Almost 66% of adults in this study had little, if ANY confidence in the media!

Now those of you that hate America and say the following link is biased... IT IS!
Biased in that this article and the sources I and Americans that love America is that we HAVE more knowledge and substantiation.
That is the distinction and this study proves it!
A comprehensive new poll from the Media Research Center finds voters who rely on CNN and MSNBC are significantly less informed
about a host of important issues:

• from the lack of security on the border and
• the impact of Joe Biden’s economic policies;
• to the financial scandals swirling around the President and his family, including suggestions his administration interceded to get his son “preferential treatment” during the tax fraud investigation of Hunter Biden.

On every issue we examined, a majority of those who reported mainly watching Fox News or Newsmax said they recalled hearing about the various news stories we polled, while never more than
50 percent of those who watched CNN and MSNBC had the same information.
Depending on the issue, the gap between the two groups averaged 23.5 percent, a huge deficit in the factual information of viewers of liberal cable news.

MRC President L. Brent Bozell III reacted: “This poll is just more evidence of the leftist media’s corrupt election interference. It’s no surprise that voters who rely on these leftist cable networks for their news are vastly less aware of Joe Biden’s multiple scandals and policy disasters. CNN and MSNBC know exactly what they’re doing, which is to bury the truth of Biden’s failures in order to save Joe Biden from himself.”

Now further proof that people that watch CNN/MSNBC and other biased news are not getting the whole story are these 2 articles.
I sincerely wish those of you that hate us Americans would at least be honest enough to recognize that.
When we have Biden who has made these statements that directly affect ALL our lives... I truly wonder if those that support Biden REALLY comprehend
what these statements did to affect ALL our lives.
For example: "I would, in fact, make sure that there is, we immediate surge to the border, "

How many illegals, drug smugglers, cartels all took the above words and hey Biden says we should surge to the border!
Hence we have: Border Crossings 3 Times Higher Under Biden Than Trump
Under Biden reached totals of roughly 189,000 per month,
compared to an average of just under 51,000 per month during the Trump presidency.

Border Crossings 3 Times Higher Under Biden Than Trump

There are numerous reasons why border crossings are so high, but they aren't all the president's fault.

The oil companies LOVED that as Chevron's CEO said...“You’re looking at committing capital 10 years out, that will need decades to offer a return for shareholders, in a policy environment where governments around the world are saying, ‘We don’t want these products.’”
Perfect excuse to raise prices ! What a dumb comment from Biden!

Broadcast networks deliver 92% negative coverage for Trump, 66% positive for Biden: Study

The country’s major broadcast news media outlets have never been more negatively biased against a sitting president than Donald Trump, a conservative media watchdog has concluded in its latest study, which found President Trump receives negatively-slanted coverage 92% of the time in network news...

Before we discuss this any farther, I have a question:

Do you think that if people disagree with your politics, that means they hate America?

Before we discuss this any farther, I have a question:

Do you think that if people disagree with your politics, that means they hate America?

It actually isn't a "politics" issue. It is an issue of whether like me, I recognize that Americans are just like all humans... imperfect...as is America.
Americans 250 years ago standards of living were so much more difficult than today, that most Americans had to spend much of their time getting
food and shelter... unlike today's Americans with more time on our hands as it takes less than 10 minutes to get to McDonalds!
So my attitude is (since I have sympathy with those early Americans as I when I was a pre-teenager had to work to help our family- 70 years ago)
I find people today truly ignorant about this simple admonition my mom would remind me..."remember when you point a finger 3 fingers are pointing back."
Lack of respect for history and ignorance for the positive attributes of Americans is not political, but reality.
I'm a realist. I know history. People that ONLY recognize the human errors of our country are just uninformed and don't know my Mom's admonition.

Your OP seems to conflate 'hating America' with alleged news bias. You say this:

"I sincerely wish those of you that hate us Americans would at least be honest enough to recognize that."

Are you claiming those who do not get their news where you do 'hate America'?

 

[leftwinger]

Americans too stupid and/or evil are void of common sensical basic logical thought capabilities yet are often in position to set policy affecting 100s' of millions. Posters come here and cheer these evil stupid ideas on even if clearly against American best interests.

When pointed out to them....they just cant comprehend. Bless their hearts.

You used the word "conflate" which is exactly what the BIASED MSM and then hence Americans that hate America then do regarding America.
Biased MSM conflates frequently.
Case in point... I am 100% confident that YOU think Trump told Americans to "drink bleach" Right????
But you are evidently NOT aware that Biden said it!
FACT:
About 2,800,000 results (0.35 seconds)Google search "Trump said drink bleach"
For example:

It's been exactly one year since Trump suggested injecting ...​

Politics, Policy, Political News - POLITICO › news › 2021/04/23 › trum...
But who actually said it?
Biden said...maybe if you drank bleach you may be okay".

Now this is conflation because Trump never said that according to Politifact.org

No, Trump didn’t tell Americans infected with the coronavirus to drink bleach

Joe Biden criticized President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, saying during a speech on the econom

www.politifact.com

In summary, the MSM conflates stories anything to put the USA in a negative light and people like Trump and millions like ME that totally recognize
as Americans that there have been negative actions... BUT here is the biggest distinction... Trump, me and Millions like me KNOW we are fallible.
AS is America but our faults are far far outweighed by our positives... again something people evidently like you think are "politically" based.
You and people that make America's faults the rule rather than the exception are sadly uninformed and the BIASED MSM has been the major
contributor which is done to sell advertising!
