Electoral College Drama 12-19-16

[Underhill]

Well the majority of the media, especially the main stream media are already state run...and the state is the DNC

That has been dis-proven dozens of times. We have right wing media and left wing media in this country. But some do try to walk the line to varying degrees. Ironically one of the best is partially state funded, but that is another discussion.

The problem is, if you sit to the right of CNN (for example) they look liberal. But trust me, if you sit to the left of CNN, they also look conservative. To me that is a sign they are doing something right.

I also have to mention this isn't taking into account editorial commentators as they are all over the place.

CNN has long been a liberal, left wing supporting media agency. During the debates, CNN fed the Clinton campaign questions in advance so that Hillary's team could carefully craft her responses. They did this in both the primaries against Bernie and the presidential debates against Donald.

The moderators had a tendency to gang up on Trump and went easy on Clinton. No one really pushed issues that made her look bad, or if they were asked they were just skimmed over and moved on. There is a reason why CNN was nicknamed the "Clinton News Network" and some years ago the "Corrupt News Network."

CNN can take a seat at the back of the room as far as I am concerned.

Hey - I went on CNN.con today, just to see why you might be talking about here.

The first Op-Ed piece I saw was this defense of Scott Pruitt for the EPA, penned by Jeb Bush, dated 3pm ESt 12/20/16

Jeb Bush: Scott Pruitt is ready to turn around the EPA - CNN.com

I'm not seeing the bias. It seems like a liberal rag like CNN would suppress such an opinion, especially with someone as unpopular with the left as Pruitt. How do you know this liberal bias is there, especially if you're not reading it directly on their media on a. Regular basis?

Also "Clinton News Network" and "Corrupt News Network?" Did you make those up yourself? I doubt CNN reported it, so how do you know? Where are you getting you info?

Sometimes a dictatorship is exactly what a country needs so that it can move beyond the divisional BS that comes from a diverse society of cry babies and emotionally fragile softies.

Oh, never minded. Let me ask this instead. . . how long have you felt this way about the US need for a dictatorship?

What knowledge should a dictator have to ensure he is suppressing the right voices? On what basis would a dictator make such decisions?

. . .

Did your ideal dictator tell you that CNN was bad and you just believed him?

That's not true at all. You bought the spin. RW media and it's affiliates always tell people this, it's a propaganda technique. You'll notice they don't list examples or proof, they just like to say it.

Sorry sonny your assertion is based on your perusal and acceptance of bias of the LW rags that you read.
Don't you have any song you would like to post other than this constant blather?

So they don't always have a left-leaning bias because the Democrats aren't always in power? Will you find these news outlets untrustworthy when Trump & his administration take over because now the state-run media has a right-leaning bias?

Aren't you the person notorious for posting fake news and disinformation?

I see the MSM as beginning again to engage in its job, being critical of POTUS. They had an 8 year vacation, now it's back to work. Though for some, work will be zealotry couched in occasional bouts of critical analysis, all designed to convey the message of "do we really want another 4 years of this?" And 'this' could be wonderful, unbridled success for America, but LW zealotry will have you believe it is dismal and someone somewhere is being discriminated against. Won't anyone think of the children?

What state run media.
Do you really think that those media sources that vilified President-elect Trump and glorified the Hillary are going to change their strips? I think not.

You tell me. You're the one who said:

so if you want clarification here then you should provide it.

They might when the state (which according to you owns them) becomes right-wing as a result of Trump taking office. Especially if Trump presses on with his plan to demolish press freedom by making it possible to sue them for anything they print.

Okay, so now you've explained the context, can you answer my question that I posted here:

? More specifically, can you tell us which media outlets are actually run by the Government?

This is not a communist country the last time I checked. So there is no state run newspaper or papers. Basically I was making fun of tytylf and got a little carried away. Bad I am

Okay, fair enough. It can be hard to judge tone in a post that doesn't use emojis sometimes.
