Wolf Blitzer used to work for AIPAC, it’s honestly not surprising for him personally.

Since the news media are all multinational corporations owned by billionaires war profiteers, their general stance isn’t all that surprising either.

Has Conway just not been paying attention? This isn’t a bug, it’s the feature.

Because they are morons getting stuck in the personality cults on demand that social networks are? There's plenty of news critical of Trump, but true news sources don't try to radicalize their viewers either. They all have their biases, bus social networks are the epitome of bias and social engineering.

You're gonna sit there and tell me you want less factual news about current events and more opinion hit pieces?

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

At what level of "verifiable" does an opinion become a fact?

Is "Elmer Fudd is out here to shoot Wabbits" a hit-piece?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

We have articles saying "Elmer Fudd has a history of hunting Wabbits and has purchased a seasonal Wabbit hunting permit"

You want articles that say "Terrorist Elmer Fudd is a carnivorous madman who will stop at nothing to capture Wabbits, skin them alive, and offer their hearts to Satan because he's such an idiot he thinks Satan is still a valid angel"

Let's stick to the strict truth as it happens. If you want to criticize anything then it should be that they're too conservative with their use of the term Terrorist or lack thereof. I respect Journalism as a career and I think there are many platforms and groups who do cover the news in a way that is enlightening and thought provoking.

Why are you yelling at that mirror over there?

Most American journalists and media outlets DO call Trump a stupid idiot, and they have been for the past decade.

You have to be living in an alternate reality to think Trump is liked by the establishment media. This is only true for Fox and a handful of other right wing media outlets.

Which popular media outlets are actively doing that? Because all I see is sane-washing his bullshit.

All of them? Are you seriously trying to tell me that the NYT or MSNBC US politics page are in any pro Trump? These outlets stopped being neutral and both siding things since the 2016 election.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm telling you they sane wash his bullshit.

Where every Democrat president has to tiptoe and be perfect.
