when you use a source like daily caller, Whilrynut daily, newsman,and so on and so on as your source of information I would expect a one side post just like this one is ... these news companies CNN, MSNBC ABC, NBC, and CBS are known for correcting any untruth that is discovered by anyone the research it and it it is wrong they correct sort .... I have never heard Bretbart, newsman, whirlynutdaily, or the daily caller ever correct and untruth that they made .. they will stand by their lie to the end ....your source here is nothing more the right wing propagandaFor 20+ years I've been listening to Republicans cry like little girls about "The Liberal Media" After looking into this for awhile, I finally found out just "The Liberal Media" is: The Liberal Media is any media outlet that tells Republicans something they don't want to hear. Cases In Point:
* When CNN, MSNBC ABC, NBC, and CBS covered countless hours of Hillary Clinton being grilled about the situation in Benghazi, Republicans seemed fine with this, but when these same media outlets caught Mrs. Trump plagiarizing Mrs. Obama's speech they became "The Liberal Media"
* When CNN, MSNBC ABC, NBC, and CBS covered countless hours of Hillary Clinton being grilled about her emails , Republicans seemed fine with this, but when these same media outlets caught Donald Trump showing his ignorance about the Russia -Ukraine situation they became "The Liberal Media"
* When CNN, MSNBC ABC, NBC, and CBS grilled Bill Clinton about his affair with Monica Lewinsky, as well as the hours of impeachment proceedings Republicans seemed fine with this, but when these same media outlets caught G.W. Bush or his people lying about those weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, they became "The Liberal Media"
* When CNN, MSNBC ABC, NBC, and CBS spent countless hours questioning John Kerry about his military service, Republicans seemed fine with this, but when these same media outlets caught The Reagan administration illegally funneling money in the Iran-Contra mess they became "The Liberal Media"
...and the list goes on. Republicans have complained about "Liberal Bias" for so long, it's now been accepted as fact. The reality is media outlets are after stories that boost their ratings, and don't care who they exploit to do so. Republicans...you can keep crying about "The Liberal Media" if you want, but it just ain't so!

So would you put your money where your mouth is?
Explain to me how the When CNN, MSNBC ABC, NBC, and CBS did the following:
Bias with their pocketbook...
In 2008 there were 1,160 or 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
Bias with the news stories
This study of some 130,213 news articles on the 2012 presidential match between President Obama and Mitt Romney has proven anew that there was a strong pro-Democratic bias in the U.S. and international press. The study, published in the authoritative journal Big Data Society, also tested the campaign themes the media focused on and determined that Obama succeeded in stealing the economic issue from Republican Romney.
"Overall, media reporting contained more frequently positive statements about the Democrats than the Republicans. Overall, the Republicans were more frequently the object of negative statements," wrote the study authors,
Their conclusion: "The Republican Party is the most divisive subject in the campaign, and is portrayed in a more negative fashion than the Democrats."
Smooch: Study of 130,213 stories shows Obama bias in 2012 election
What most Americans believe
POLL: 70 PERCENT OF AMERICANS BELIEVE NEWS MEDIA IS INTENTIONALLY BIASED
"These are discouraging results for those of us who have spent our careers in journalism"
Poll: 70 percent of Americans believe news media is intentionally biased
News personalities pronounced bias
Minutes later on ABC, anchor George Stephanopoulos gushed over First Lady Michelle Obama: âPolished, passionate and personal,â
while on MSNBC, Joy Reid called the First Ladyâs speech âmagnificent, exquisite...[and] splendid.â
Hardball host Chris Matthews loved all of it: âI just thought the whole night was a sluggerâs row of wonderful sentiments.â
As the week wore on, none of the major Democrats earned a bad review.
On Tuesday night, CBSâs Gayle King found Bill Clintonâs speech on behalf of Hillary âheartwarming.â
The next night, correspondents for NBC, CBS and ABC praised vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine for his âsuburban dadâ personality, whose âextraordinaryâ Spanish-speaking skills made for âa Spanish lesson down here.â
And, of course, President Obama sent thrills up journalistsâ legs. âI donât think weâve ever had a President, save Lincoln, who is as great a speechwriter as this man,â
NBCâs Andrea Mitchell oozed. âIt was magnificent,â MSNBCâs Matthews tingled, âa wonderful farewell address.â
Condemning Republicans, Cheering Democrats: The Mediaâs Biased 2016 Convention Coverage
Remember folks... these are suppose to be the objective, hard nosed, bash the president, news people that here is a quote from Evan Thomas that exemplifies this extreme bias:
The Editor of NewsWeek, Evan Thomas was once asked about George Bush and this is his response.
"our job is to bash the president[Bush], that's what we do." Evan Thomas responding to a question on whether the media's unfair to Bush on the TV talk show Inside Washington, February 2, 2007.He-Could-Go-All-The-Way: 'Today' Cheers Obama's Football Play
RIGHT HIS job was to BASH Bush. He is a journalist. Unbiased. Objective. Professional. RIGHT??
But when it came to Obama? This same hard-nosed "bashing journalist"- Editor of NewsWeek gushed about Obama.....
"I mean in a way Obamaâs standing above the country, above â above the world, heâs sort of God."
Newsweekâs Evan Thomas: Obama Is âSort of Godâ
A professional NEWS editor calling a mortal man "sort of God"??? That's not reporting, that's gushing!
Finally an ADMISSION by the BIASED MSM!
By Ellen Ratner 7/24/2016 on LIBERAL & PROUD
EVEN THIS LIBERAL SEES MEDIA BIAS AT GOP CONVENTION
Exclusive: Ellen Ratner shares eye-opening observation about RNC coverage
"Everyone knows I am a liberal. That is why this column is called âLiberal & Proud.â
Even though I am a liberal, I donât like it when the news media go out on a limb and try to influence the news rather than just report it.
There are several examples just this week alone, and all have been examples of media bias.
There is always competition to get a story, which can lead to media bias in place of good, old-fashioned reporting.
Even this liberal sees media bias at GOP convention
NOT ONE admission on your part regarding the ABOVE links!
Where was daily caller,etc. used in my links?
Again.. when the Editor of Newsweek tells people they were to Bash Bush but later calls Obama a God??? Come on that is bias in it's purest Form!
Tell me when 85% of 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 and they don't have a vested interest???
And finally when a liberal ADMITS there is a bias that in Ratner's words..."news media go out on a limb and try to influence the news rather than just report it."
That's the major blow to your idiot comment! When are your sources to counter the above facts?
