And what is the GOP supposed to do after it recognizes the MSM is the 'enemy'?
I've always said that ANY GOP person interviewed by a MSM person should start of with a statement similar to this:
"Please report these exact words. I am not confident that this media person is an objective unbiased journalist. Therefore any comments put into direct quotes
by this media person must be cleared by my staff before being shared with the public. If any of my comments are used without my permission there will be legal
consequences. Thank you". "You may proceed."
This would prevent such biased reporting as was seen in the 2012 election when Romney's comments about the 47% were taken totally out of context especially
by the MSM.
Here is what Romney said:
at a private fundraiser, Romney spoke to supporters and contributors and observed that 47 percent of Americans do not pay any income tax, and thus his call for not raising taxes (though he wants to eliminate some familiar deductions, which is the functional equivalent of raising some folks' taxes) will not resonate with the voters in that group. Then he went on to say that this is roughly the same 47 percent who are dependent upon the government for part or all of their subsistence; and to that subsistence of food, shelter, education and clothing, the feds have now added health care. Then he referred to those dependent upon the government as "victims" (his word). Then, among my leftish colleagues in the press, all hell broke loose.
A Defense of Romney's "47 Percent" Comment
What did the MSM do with the above direct quote?
View attachment 53499
I don't understand why my stating direct quotes from experts declaring tax dollars used to promote biased news program is wrong.
For once why can't people be honest and recognize the simple fact the MSM has supported liberal/democrat agenda directly with their donations:
In 2008 85% of media donated money to Democrats!
1,160 (85%) of the 1,353 of the Senior executives, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC contributed more than $1 million to Democrats candidates and campaign committees in 2008, according to an analysis by The Examiner of data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
Obama, Democrats got 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs, writers, reporters
That their output presents a positive story line for Democrats and negative for GOP!
Study of 130,213 stories shows Obama bias in 2012 election BY PAUL BEDARD | MARCH 16, 2015 | 10:49 AM
Smooch: Study of 130,213 stories shows Obama bias in 2012 election
And you honestly contend there is no liberal bias in the MSM???
Hey I admit conservative talk show commentators like Rush have a bias! NO question! But his is a commentary position.
Journalists are suppose to be objective. Not biased. Present all sides of the story with equal facts and NO opinion.
So you think that any analysis that doesn't put the right wing in a good light is biased? Do you expect reporters to have a referee to keep score and make sure there are equal numbers of good reports for each side, no matter what the subject of those reports are? I thought the right was against demanding equal outcome. I suggest that if the right doesn't like having their poor behavior exposed, that they quit behaving poorly.
Rush / Hannity they tell you they are biased! ABC/CBS/NBC piously pretend they are "journalists" yet donate millions to the Democrat and when comes
to protect their donations... they as the 130,213 researched stories show... a favorable bias towards Obama and negative for Romney.
Those are the facts.
So it is the job of conservatives like me to educate those people in the middle that consider themselves "objective" and let them know the pious biased position
of the evening news/ NYT etc. are giving them news with a specific slant.
That's why today Partisanship and race probably influence the MSM’s “slobbering love affair” with Obama.
MSM denizens are overwhelmingly left-wing Democrats, which this site’s readers know very well.
Left-wing Democrats in the MSM likely accept the belief that racism motivates any criticism of Obama.
Since they are loath to express any sentiment that could be so construed, they sing his praises and refuse to report anything that could be considered critical of him. (Expect the MSM to laud Obama’s deal with Iran.)
Given the MSM’s infatuation with Obama and the fact that many Americans still rely on the MSM for the news, is there any wonder that polls show public approval of his job performance, and especially that perceptions of him as a person, remain higher than they might otherwise be?
Articles: Why So Many People Regard Obama Positively
You really think a direct quote with a video of it being said is biased? That's just nuts.
I get it. You only believe fox. Enjoy your bubble.
What are you saying? You make NO sense!
I showed you proof MSM donated money and then backed up 130,213 stories supporting Obama and bashing Romney and you call that a bubble?
Did I not show MSM gave 85% to Democrats and wrote more positive stories?
What do you need to prove the MSM gushes over Democrats/Obama and despise GOP.
Tonite's debate PERFECT example of the MSM bias!
The facts were in Obama's favor. It's not MSN's fault that Romney did a lot of stupid shit. Again, you're demanding equal outcome. Are you saying a reporter isn't allowed to donate his money to who ever he wants? If you want more supporting stories written about you, do more good stuff. It's that simple.
A "reporter" is to be objective and NOT hedge his bet by writing negative stories about GOP and positive about Democrats which is what the FACTS have shown happen.
How many people knew as evidently the MSM didn't that Obama told us he was a liar?
Obama told us in his book "Dreams from My Father"...published July 18,1995
would say and do anything to get elected...even blaming a lousy video for HIS INCOMPETENCY!
"It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned.
People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves.
They were more than satisfied. They were revealed.
Such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time."
Where has the MSM been in showing such hypocrisy and admission of being a liar.
NOT ONE MSM has been honest and journalistic professional and have failed to show that as in "The Emperor's New Clothes" Obama has no substance.
You defenders of Obama/MSM are part of the people that Obama loves to insult as shown by hiring a guy who characterized people like you as representing
"The stupidity of the American voter"!
