Sorry, I tried to use multi-quote, but it barfed on me.

You too?
I think RF installed that 'feature' as a practical joke.
The NPR point is one that merits consideration, and I'd agree federally funded programming is not a good idea.
Still doesn't substantiate anything as far reaching as a corrupt media.

There might be a language problem here.
By "corrupt", I mean not just intentional misrepresentation, but mostly sloppy journalism driven by partisanshuip.
As for turning the tables, where I claim that what you verified ISN'T cromulent. . . LOL.
Don't we athiests make fun of religious folk for making unsubstantiated claims and then asking us to prove they aren't wrong? :)

I observe media bias.
But I don't observe, angels, miracles, or gods.

Bias is an interesting phenomenon. We notice it more when it works against us.
We notice it less when we like it. This latter one I watch for. I like some of the
agendas in news....opposition to child molestation, scientific advances being good,
rooting out government corruption. I'm fallible....I buy into these things I like.
So I look for anything suspicious there. Sometimes I find it. Yes, that sucks.
So it's a good idea to be wary of bias one likes.

Right. Agreed.

And I never said there wasn't media bias. I'm saying it's quite the challenge to create an objective measure. . . And if it's all just relative to our own biases, then how does the office of the president get to decide for us who has access to his office and who does not?

What method is he using? Do you think that he'll really back off when a media outlet posts a valid criticism? How does he tell the difference?

You ask me to predict Trump's behavior?
A loose cannon on the deck of a rolling ship would be an easier task.

This has been wonderful. The smoke is clearing so the mirrors can't lie anymore. Komrade Trumpsky is not liked by the people. Remember: EVERYTHING he does by Executive order will be undone with the next president. We only have  3 Years, 11 Months , 27 days, 5 hours and 36 minutes till we are free of this bully bigot. It's not like I'm counting, but then, actually yes, I am counting.

But I thought there was massive rioting, burning buildings, flipping cars etc? Some people believe that.

Well, it has been going on for years, way before President D.J. Trump had sat down in the White House.But all of a sudden, they has gotten bitten by the Righteous bug when President Trump started to campaign. But they were ignored before him. The President should send the women's march unit over to those countries to show how much he cares for ll women. But I have forgotten that we do not really care about any bean-choking immigrants. We are just playing a game of pretend.
Mary Mack- mack- mack, all dress in black-black-black... Do you know anymore other games that we can play?
That women march umit are nothing but a sons of witches...
