Bunch of "CNN isn't conforming to my extreme right wing views 24/7...therefore must be biased. Thats why I read Breitbart instead.".

Umm...Brietbart is biased to..what exactly is your argument. If I totally admit that Brietbart and Infowars are biased..can you admit CNN is?

Actually stopped reading after that first sentence.

He is basically saying that most people see bias where it is not based on there views..as proof that there is no bias in the media, which does not correlate at all.

Wikileaks gave the evidence of bias.

Donna Brazile lost her job at CNN because her bias for Clinton was so blatant.

Yep, Clinton was even being briefed on questions she would be asked at CNN sponsored candidate events in order to give her every possible advantage and if it wasn't for wikileaks, we'd be non the wiser.

Claiming there was no bias towards Clinton is not a matter of opinion, it is factually incorrect.

Fox was no friend of Trump, they tried to derail his campaign with the first question of the first primary debate.

This.

People mistake Fox News for being the conservative news network. Many hosts claim to be conservatives, yet constantly put Establishment Republicans on a pedistal and repeat the talking points of the RNC.

And in both 2012 and 2016, Fox News spurned conservative candidates in favor of moderate Republican Establishment candidates. Like in late 2015 and early 2016, Fox News gave constant positive coverage and easy debate/interview questions to Jeb Bush.

And yes, Trump was the ultimate moderate with many views shared with Democrats. When confronted about these liberal views in a debate, he replied 'Look, I'm a conservative, but with common sense.'

Fox News was in favor of Jeb Bush, then Marco Rubio, and then settled with Trump because the RNC thought Trump would lose to Hillary (Fox News election night before 8pm confirms this).

And only after Trump won has everyone on the right side of the isle have come to Trump to kiss the ring, only after he's won.
 
Maybe Jack can report us all to the authorities for reading wikileaks. I mean CNN said it was illegal to look at them and you would go to prison for doing so, so it must be true. It's not like they had any pro-Clinton bias or anything that would motivate them to lie about something like that.

(In Trump voice, a parody of "Lyin' Ted, he takes his hand off the bible, then he lies."):

"Lyin' Jack, he takes his hand off of Saul Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals', and then he lies."
 
It's biased towards democrats, but not to the degree that some other news sources are to their ideologies.

You can't get news from a single source. Try to read everything, but be aware of the bias beforehand before making any conclusions.

No they can't, which is why no one trusts them.

People keep bringing up Fox News because all of their liberal news sources keep telling them to blame Fox News for all their problems. Blaming Fox News in 2016 is an outdated argument but if some people can't deflect to them or Republicans, they have no argument.
 
Ok, someone other than Jack voted "Biased towards Republicans." Fess up, who are you...defend your position.

See, it's just right-wing cheerleading. Note that there are no arguments made or studies cited. Just pom-pom waving and personal attacks directed toward people who aren't drinking the Kool-Aid.

I'm not a right winger, and the only argument/study needed would be to actually watch CNN with eyes and a brain to be able to tell that they are very biased towards democrats. I don't even think they have any right winger hosts anymore.

Source: I watch CNN (and Fox and MSNBC and BBC, etc.).

I don't vote in this kind of retarded thread. The truth is the truth regardless of what right-wing cheerleaders say. I'd be more impressed with a single citation to a study or well-argued point then a bunch of second-sight types clicking an option.

Fox News is, and always has been, a scapegoat for the rest of the MSM. But Fox News IS a part of the MSM, but it happens to be the one that's the least full of shit.

But, it is still the RNC's favorite cable network, just like HuffPo is their favorite newspaper/newsites.
 
Didn't someone from CNN lose their job for giving debate questions to a presidential candidate (Clinton) in advance?
