Attacking liberal bias as assault on free press?

| April 25, 2018

Hillary Clinton thinks so. Apparently, what’s obvious to us regarding the truth, fact, reason, logic, etc., is something else to Hillary Clinton. She’s seeing this from a liberal perspective; liberal lies, snowflake emotion, irrational thought, etc., are, “fact, reason, and logic.”

Hillary Clinton insinuates that President Trump, and conservatives, are waging war against the truth, fact, and reason. Her argument suggests that President Trump is ignoring things that are “plainly obvious” or “fact” like man-made global warming. This “dismissal” of the “truth” marks the “beginning” of the “end” of freedom.

Yes, by not getting behind a farce like man-made global warming, and by taking action against useless policies aimed at fighting nonexistent threats, President Trump is carrying out “authoritarian” actions.

Hillary Clinton quote by The Associated Press:

“Although obsessed with his own press coverage, he evaluates it based not on whether it provides knowledge or understanding, but solely on whether the daily coverage helps him and hurts his opponents.”

When Hillary Clinton argues that the Free Press is under open assault, critical thinking people would see something else… The liberally biased press is under open assault from those that want real news. Not liberal propaganda shoved down our throats. Consequently, those that do not like to be baffled with nonsense are waging on all-out war on lies, non-facts, and irrationality, intended to get people to mindlessly support liberal agenda.

timing is good. it coincides with the agreement reached between Gowdy and DOJ to hand over the bajillion documents relating to her server investigation. makes me wonder what we’re about to learn.

AW1Ed

Makes me wonder what we’re about to have confirmed that was already suspected.

A Proud Infidel®™

Has Hillary even remotely bothered to ‘splain hoe all those emails “accidentally” got erased along with her running Classified Info over an unsecured server? OH, and I’m quite sure that she and President trump’s predecessor were sleeping soundly the night that four American Citizens were murdered by a mob in Benghazi, she and her ilk have no soul or conscience.

The wicked bitch of the east learned how to talk all this lying bullshyt by attending the witches coven meetings in LA! imho

Calling out fake news is itself fake news. Makes perfect sense.

Clintons have turned repeating a lie so much it becomes believed into a way of life.

The Other Whitey

Dad Hildabeast comes up with a new bullshit excuse every week for why she lost, yet not a single one of them touch on the fact that she’s obscenely corrupt, an admitted liar, and an all-around hateful cunt. Every excuse blames someone else, mostly voters, who failed to fall for her bullshit because “they’re too dumb,” according to her.

Trump certainly has his supporters, but he won the 2016 election in the face of significant voter vote fraud because millions of Americans who didn’t like him that much voted *against* the Bitch of Benghazi. Since that win, the number of people who would likely vote to re-elect him on his merits has grown, but that’s the way it was. Now he needs to make sure that the FBI, as corrupt as it has become, cracks open the Clinton Mafia for all to see.

Actual honesty and governmental efficiency would destroy our government.

The Other Whitey

You say that like it would be such a bad thing…

Garold

This from the same people who tell us there are 42 sexes and we are the cause of the climate changing as it has since the beginning of this planet. I also read the other day of a professor claiming that students shouting down conservative speakers and ideas is an example of free speech.

Garold

Dittos to all you said; especially exhibiting the traits they accuse others of possessing. I’m reminded of the ‘antifa’ thugs using Nazi tactics. Plus we can’t forget Hillary claiming to be a supporter of abused women while ignoring her past deviling of the victims of her predatory husband.

OWB

At least lefties are consistent in that whatever they accuse others of doing you can bet the farm that the left has already done it and/or is currently doing it.

Yef, take your kids to the Renaissance Faire in your area this summer. They’ll have a lot more fun, your wife can dress up like a Gypsy princess and you’ll spend a lot less money on STUFF. And it’s live stuff, so the kids can be knights or whatever.

I think the lame street media learned their trade from watching black & white Joseph Goebbels speeches, approved by NPR.

No, that’s too easy an answer. They’re following the Soviets’ propaganda playbook, step by step.

Ex-PH2

It’s bad enough that the cow is a Huge Sore Loser, but does she even know what today’s date is?

When she can’t descend a flight of steps without nearly losing her c——- bag, she should just quit public life and stay home. She has money coming out of her ears and her backside. I guess that simply is not enough….

JURRASSICHM

Everything that comes out of this woman’s mouth is meant to support her status as a professional victim. Her pathological behavior since her loss should make it clear to everyone that it’s a very good thing that she lost the election.

Daisy Cutter

I still remember when she criticized Trump for not stating that he will abide by the election results.

Irony, sweet irony.

rgr769

When dealing with progtards, every concept is relative to their belief system and what advances it. It is why they have double standards for every proposition. They don’t believe in irony when their ox was gored.

Perry Gaskill

There are more than a few liberal dog whistles going off in the AP story. As a matter of background, Jocelyn Noveck is a Manhattan-based “culture” reporter, and apparently the kind of second-string journalist you send to a writer’s conference to cover who gets the Arthur Miller award. Something most of the country would probably react to hearing with, “Arthur who?”

What’s also likely is that most of the country would probably rather hear from Noveck how much Hillary Clinton got paid for an appearance where she can once again trash-talk President Trump, and risk facing merely the softest of softball questions.

Journalism’s biggest problem these days is not so much direct bias as it is financial weakness. Being objective takes time and money. Problematic now that Google and Facebook suck up most of the advertising revenue. The result is that we’re losing local news across the country, and it does not bode well for the republic.

We get yet another story from Manhattan about a still-bitter Hillary because that’s the low-hanging fruit.

Ex-PH2

I still get the local news. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have anything to wrap dead fish in.

Perry Gaskill

You might have missed my point.

Truth and accuracy, it’s been argued in the past, tends to be better when there are a lot of eyeballs looking at something. Since the year 2000, the number of professional journalists in the country has declined by about half. Once upon a time, there was a rough rule-of-thumb at daily newspapers that if you wanted to do a good job of news coverage in a community, you needed about one reporter per thousand of circulation. That number would now be considered laughable.

Nor has the news business failed all at once everywhere. A general trend has been that news media bean counters have fired older experienced reporters for being too expensive, along with positions such as copy desk to act as a back-stop. Another shift has been towards an extreme level of dominance by New York City-based news media which is subject to its own bias and echo chamber not necessarily shared by news media in other parts of the country.

A California example of how local media can fail badly is the current sanctuary state law brought about by a minority open borders faction. There was little public discussion or media coverage about it. One day it was simply presented as a fait accompli.

Another example is the high-speed rail project which shows every sign of having pulled off one of the biggest financial flim-flams in the history of the state. Explaining how the scam likely worked requires deeper pockets than most of the California news media is capable of.

Any advanced democracy needs an effective news media in order to remain an advanced democracy. It’s not something you should be willing to get rid of just because you don’t agree with it. For the most part, the main problem is that we’re not getting the news media we deserve.

Perry Gaskill

So what you’re saying is I’m incapable of recognizing that a person such as yourself, and a few others, are apparently both capable and willing to report on all the relevant news on the planet for free. That facts, nuance, supporting background, eyewitness observation, and context are just lying around waiting to be plugged into whatever news narrative happens to be needed.

Or something.

It also seems ironic you would mention Bernard Goldberg twice. From my own perspective, a former CBS guy ragging on the New York Times is about like Bozo the Clown accusing Zippy the Pinhead of being insincere. Goldberg, yet another NYC MSM windbag, isn’t part of the solution to a current primary cause of failure of the news media. He’s another part of the problem.

Too, a single example of a weather-droid being too ignorant or lazy to explain a weather pattern properly also seems like an outlier in the larger scope of things. Laziness and ignorance are not always the same kind of news bias as that which pushes a political agenda.

thebesig, it’s fairly obvious we’re not on the same page. I’ll be first in line to defend your right to express your opinion. I just don’t happen to agree with a lot of it. Bias exists on both sides of the political street. The extent to which it can be mitigated, at least it seems to me, is a matter of having the resources to combat it. YMMV

Perry Gaskill

Whatever. Or is that another strawman argument? I’m also sorry I apparently hurt your feelings. You and Bernard Goldberg might be butt buddies for all I know, and comparing him to Zippy was obviously unkind.

rgr769

Where I live, the local newspapers merely reprint articles from the NY Times and other major leftist newpapers. One can’t even find a reprint of an article from the Wall Street Journal, because it might not support the leftard narrative.

” Being objective takes time and money”

I beg to differ. It takes no more time or money to be objective than it does being partisan.

When Jim tells a police officer that ” Joe was yelling and screaming and trying to steal my lawn mower”, the police officer prefaces that in his report with “Jim claims Joe was…”. He does not write “Joe was caught attempting to steal Jim’s lawnmower and verbally abuse him”.

It ain’t rocket science, it’s an attitude.

Perry Gaskill

Most of the time crime stories involve a careful tap dance around libel. No reporter I’ve known who ever passed Journalism 101 would write, “Joe was caught attempting to steal Jim’s lawnmower and verbally abuse him.”

More likely it would be something such as:

According to police reports, Joe was arrested for allegedly trying to take Jim’s property during a neighborhood dispute.

“He was yelling and screaming, and trying to steal my lawn mower,” Jim said.

It ain’t rocket science, it’s attribution.

What these progtard cucks and scrunts don’t seem to understand is that we are merely fighting back against their media propaganda, which is based upon a whole bastion of “big lies” and little lies. They are shocked by the blow-back because the prior Republican admins didn’t fight back. They mostly just shut up and took it.

rgr769

Yes, King Putt’s frequent attacks on the police contributed to the real violence we saw during his regime. And their effects still linger, unfortunately.

AW1Ed

“They are shocked by the blow-back because the prior Republican admins didn’t fight back.”

This. They are so used to dishing it out, they are completely unable to rationally deal with push-back, and revert to ad hominem attacks instead of logical debate. Racist. Sexist. Homophobe. Protectionist. Dumb stump-fucking fly-over state redneck. This exposes their lack of defendable arguments, so they just get louder, shriller, and less coherent. I give you the new scold, 16 year old high school kids telling us about democracy and rights.
Pathetic, and folks are getting very tired of this.

Mick

Shack!

Well said.

Ex-PH2

You guys have never been picked on, have you?

These so-called reporters are used to picking on people they deem unworthy of ‘whatever’ and dishing it out, but don’t like it when it’s handed right back to them, or worse: ignored.

These clankers are slowly losing their base. When they focus on something like shoes or the color of someone’s hair, instead of on the job at hand, they literally have nothing to say.

timactual

Some of us have been pointing out the shortcomings of the media for decades. The difference is that now they have a critic who cannot be ignored, intimidated, or mocked into obscurity. Rush Limbaugh got the same treatment when he appeared on the scene.

Between CSPAN and the internet, there is more than enough evidence to support claims that the press is ignorant, lazy, abusive, and biased. Not to mention the reference section of your local library.

I used to buy a copy of “Statistical Abstract of the United States” every year (less than $10 at most supermarkets, bookstores, etc.) to do my own “fact check” on what I read/heard. Keep it next to you when you watch TV, or keep it in the bathroom to occupy those idle moments. It really doesn’t take much time.

The reds and oranges on the media weather maps are much brighter.

Ex-PH2

All the forecasts by such notaries as Paul Ehrlich, et al., going back to the 1970s (The Ice Age is Coming!) and moving forward (The Planet is Burning UP! – Al Gorebull) have failed to come true. ALL. OF. THEM.

And now we’ve been having a late spring in my kingdom because a blob of cold air sent my way with affection by Vlad Putin (I have the card, too! Eat your heart out!) has been sitting on my kingdom since March 1 like a broody hen on a clutch of eggs. But finally, there is some relief.
I turned the furnace off last night. The house only dropped to 69F, and I had to change the thermostat battery this morning. But Spring is here. And it’s gonna stay here, too.

I check out the below Wx map and moniter NAVTEX on 518KZ, 45 baud 100 shift (sitor B) plus I monitor my 2 wall mercury and mechanical barometers. I used to have a mil surplus Facimille that used a 19 inch paper and carbon paper roll and run it off of my Drake R7 shortwave receiver and get surface and sea water temps.I also monitor Coastal station WLO which transmits on sitor B and ITA 2 (45baud, 170 shift).

I must have missed how balanced the press is. I have to be subjected to CNN everyday because it is on the damn wall. Non stop anti White House coverage hour to hour. They did not even bother to cover the officers shot in Dallas yesterday that one was lost today. But they did have “First Lady seen smiling in photo with former First Ladies and Presidents” yes because that is news worthy. Of course they fail to cover any real news and now working hard to wreck the career of a Naval Officer even though they had no issues with him when he served the last President. I need to find a way to block CNN I would rather watch reruns of the Banana Splits all day.

ArmyATC

Despite what she and others say, I don’t believe the ‘Bitch of Benghazi’ is a leftist or even liberal. I don’t believe she’s conservative either. She changes her beliefs with the political winds. She was against gay marriage before she was for it. She was against abortion before she was for it. The list goes on. She’s nothing more than a political opportunist, an extreme egotistical narcissist who craves power and money like others crave oxygen. She can’t let anything stand in the way of her drive towards power and wealth, and she will take any position that will help her achieve that goal. To her it isn’t about belief, it’s simply a means towards an end.

Ex-PH2

No, she is not a liberal or anything else, politically. She changes positions more often than a weathervane in a storm.

What she is, which most people miss, is a pending dictator, a queen bitch on wheels whose sole intent is to run at least as roughshod as possible over anyone in her path. I sincerely believe that she never had any other intention.

Liberals would love to see the 1st scrubbed……It would fold quickly if the 2nd was scrubbed as some of the more
radical element of the liberal menagerie want to do.
