Coli brehs assured me that the mainstream media are left leaning then how do you explain the incessant anti Biden attack since the debate and . . .

[Voice of Reason]

The "liberal" billionaire donor class flipped the switch and told their puppets to get Biden out of here.

These folks are doing what their bosses are telling them to do.


It might turn out to be for the best

 

[King Poetic]

MSNBC with ari melber, Joy Reid and a few others stay on trump neck

CNN has completely went Fox News

And im seeing ABC going right

That payoff up top is working

 

[Jalether]

No. Following my logic you would realize one of the most influential democrats in the last 20 years can’t contain his disappointment.


You talking about CNN instead of talking about the real problem. Biden.

ok I understand what you mean now, my bad

It's irrelevant to the thread topic though as david's opinion doesn't disprove my argumnebt that mainstream media are not leftwing, they are center right at best, the lisa murkowski of media if you will

 

[Paper Boi]

whether it's a legitimate attack is irrelevant because

A) mainstream media never relentlessly attack trump/republicans for days/weeks on any one particular issue
Biden's age, biden's debate performance, claudine gay havard,Ihan omar's (it's all about the benjamins comment),Biden afghanistan withdrawal
These dominated every airwave and newspapers for days/weeks in a way that no Trump or republican fukk ups ever did (outside of Jan 6 )

B) A "leftwing" media would behave more closely to the way fox news or nypost operates for conservative but it's not even operating as a centerist
media looking to provide balance, the converage are always skewed negatively against dems

so there's absolutely nothing to support the claim or believe that the mainstream media are left wing, fox news alone (the most mainstream media in the country) disproves that nevermind the constant anti dem coverage from NY times, wapo,cnn etc

i think you missed my initial point

there is no such thing as a corporate leftwing news media outlet

it's antithetical

now what are we going to do about it? we still live in reality where Joe looked horrible out there, if the goal is to beat Trump we're going to have to do it in the system that currently exists. crying about the media being what we already knew it to be does nothing.

so whether its keeping the pressure on Joe to step aside or whether it's what AOC said yesterday, that's what matters now. not CNN, MSNBC or the NYT being what we already knew.

Most people arent wise I guess. Because you cant say t.v and movies promoting LGBT,interacial relationships,anti biggotry,anti Christianity/evangelicals doesnt help shape the minds of young people. And these values definitely are more in line with one party than the other. So mainstream media is in fact left leaning. Im sure it was probably more right leaning at some point during more conservative times. But today I still believe its left leaning.


The problem is those pkatforms of t.v and media arent nearly as effective as whats on peoples phones they look at 24/7. Either Democrats havent figured this out,or they dont have the personalities to pull it off.


And of course maybe im out of touch and their are very popular left media personalities online. But I would say I feel as if i should know them if there were. I see these rightwingers popping up in spaces where they probably have no business. But their videos are being shared and circulated.


Maybe left leaning spaces should stop sharing the content for their viewers to get upset at. Apparently some of those viewers are being converted,so whos really to blame? Yes the rightwing is very dominant online. Thanks to the help of emotional liberals who share their content. And obviously dont do a good job countering the content they are sharing

Even if all that were true, it's totally irrelevant as this is a political thread and mainstream media in the context of politics means the news, nothing else

Yes hollywood is leftwing (that's not disputable) but most people would consider it entertainment rather than mainstream media. espn is literally registered under entertainment and operates as such for example, so it would be just as wrong to call espn mainstream media as branding hollywood as such even if it "technically" is

if we are going that route we might as well start referring to shows like club shay shay and social media skit makers as mainstream media as well, I mean where does it stop. Are passport bros on youtube mainstream media

The media is left wing. You just don’t like the coverage.

 

[Jalether]

The media is left wing. You just don’t like the coverage.

Is fox news part of this mainstream media or not. I want to check something

 

[Sir Richard Spirit]

Fox News is garbage. That’s 1 channel. Lol


You can go ahead and call me what you want to call me. It doesn’t change the fact that the news LOVED Biden until the debate.

And while you’re trying to see something, look up ALL the democrats asking for Biden to step down.. Then go call them c00ns, cacs, maga and everything else you want to label people. Send them emails and question them the way you doing me.

I bet you won’t because that won’t get you daps and reps..

I don't think it's really about left/right or policy. They couldn't care less about policy, to be honest. They're focused almost entirely on ratings and drama. The Biden presidency has largely been drama free, he ignores the press, doesn't do interviews, etc. Let's be honest, they despise him and it bleeds into their coverage of him. I certainly believe there's a portion of media who wants Trump to win because it ensures their jobs will be more entertaining and lucrative (ratings increase, people buying magazines again, etc).

The area where there is a left/right issue is the way right wing - specifically British right wing - billionaires are purchasing American news outlets and turning them into conservative rags. But I think the current disdain for Biden is moreso about what I mentioned earlier.

couldn't agree more. Trump presidency is ratings gold for mainstream media and they love that in addition to tax cuts

I forgot to mention they also see a historical incentive to "bring down a president." Every other week during Trump's presidency there was some big NYT/WaPot/etc article or CNN report about something wild he did, and you could tell they thought they could take him down. I'm not questioning the validity of the reporting, just saying they go hard when they smell blood because taking down a president means you're set for life. It didn't work against Trump and probably won't work against Biden.

Because Kamala becoming President is no longer a “possible outcome” but is now very likely to happen. They were cool with it like you’re cool with your cousin moving in. It’s different when it happens

is this new the defense for Biden now? Vote for me cause I’ll die in office ! You want a DeBarge President don’t you??? Well, maybe you ain’t black then

Yep

White America will flip if they have a 2nd non-white person as Commander in Chief, less than a decade after Obama finished his 2nd term. CACs would explode into a legit kamikaze mode that would destroy this country.
