Julian Assange Unlikely Savior of the Republic?
#23
The mainstream media, aside from the Fox News Channel, is very biased against Donald Trump. However, rather than repeatedly referring to the "avalanche" or tsunami of media lies, it would be great if the Trumpsters would detail and refute those lies. I question the need to fabricate lies about either Trump or Hillary when the truth about both candidates is so damning.

What, specifically, has the media lied about with regard to Trump?

IMO, the worst kind of media bias is the following:

1. Refusing to cover stories damaging to the candidate of their choice.

2. Blanket coverage of damaging stories about their candidate's opponent.

3. Article placement - positive stories about the media's favorite get front page coverage (or lede story coverage in the non-print media), while positive stories about their chosen candidate's opponent get buried - and vice versa for negative stories.

4. Story "legs" - the duration and volume of negative and positive media coverage of political stories based on how the media determines it will help or hurt their candidate of choice.

While I agree that there has been heavy media bias in favor of Hillary Clinton and against Donald Trump, but I wish Trump's most enthusiastic supporter would be more specific about media "lies" about Donald Trump. I think that he may be mistaking blog coverage for media coverage again. :biglmao:

If there is a multitude of media lies about Mr. Trump, then supporters should be more specific and stop demonizing the media with blanket statements. Media bias in favor of liberals is bad enough without exaggerating it.

As for media bias against conservatives, that is not happening because there is neither the Democrat or Republican candidate remotely resemble a conservative. Bias against conservatives in the media ceased when Donald Trump won the nomination. Now, it is simply garden variety media bias in favor of liberals, with FNC backing their liberal candidate, and most of the rest of the media backing Hillary Clinton.
