You can't just argue that the media is in the tank for dems but exclude the right wing media from it. CNN is the most centered of the news as entertainment networks. MSNBC is a mirror of Fox. Fox only sprung up bc media was so liberal for so long

I think since Murdoch's children have taken more of a role, Fox News has moderated somewhat. I watch very little TV news except local station streaming apps. They do little national or international news and what they do air are significant events.

Washington Post and New York Times are only marginally better. The main reason mainstream media is bleeding viewers is that nobody trusts them anymore. I'm not going through the details of the bias. If you only acknowledge the bias on Fox then you're just choosing not to see it. At the very beginning - I mean the VERY beginning - they at least made a superficial effort at balance. There was Hannity and Colmes instead of just Hannity, they tried to offset O'Reilly with a somewhat apolitical Greta Van Susteren. If anything they were more more about sensationalism. But it wasn't long before they realized they were attracting so many viewers of one type they just said to heck with it and tipped all the way over.

November 10, 20241 yr 10 hours ago, JohnSnowsHair said: People on this very board are in denial about Russia's influence on our elections. What nonsense did "the media" take us through? Right wing media - Fox and everyone to the right of them - spent four years fawning over Trump, then the next four years being hypercritical of Biden while revising history around Trump, January 6th, and going to far as to defend his "right" to retain classified materials in Mar-a-Lago. The supposed "liberal" media has also spent the better part of the last four years being critical of Biden, especially the NY Times. While the editorial boards of some major newspapers still endorsed Joe, he was still held to a much higher standard by the 'liberal" media than Fox/etc. ever held Trump to. The media may well have tilted left at one point, but the reality is that especially during the Trump era the major news "entertainment" networks have shifted the Overton window for Trump while maintaining it for Biden/etc. Yeah, Russia was responsible for Trump's election. Had zero to do with the direction the country was going on. Just admit you supporter a loser - a bad Jimmy Carter like loser.

A major Trump doner is their CEO.

You can't just argue that the media is in the tank for dems but exclude the right wing media from it. CNN is the most centered of the news as entertainment networks. MSNBC is a mirror of Fox. We were talking about the Russia collusion nonsense that was spewed 24 / 7 by all the networks but Fox. We were also talking about the media burying the Hunter Biden story right before the election, without even trying to fact check it. If you want to list out Fox's transgressions over the years I'd be happy to have that conversation, but it isn't what we were talking about.
November 10, 20241 yr One of these news networks was successfully sued for lying about the election being stolen by voting machines.

November 10, 20241 yr 2 hours ago, The Norseman said: I don't know how many times I have to say that I'm not defending Fox You're claiming the media is liberal. The biggest "news" network was successfully sued for lying to cover for the Republican president. For as "liberal" as the media is supposed to be, they've never covered for any Democratic president to that level. And the NYT and others have been very critical of Biden and Hillary for the last 15 years.

It looks like there was a valid reason to keep it off the platform. Quote X responded by blocking links to the material, claiming that it contained sensitive personal information such as the Ohio US senator’s social security number, and banned Klippenstein from the platform. The materials published by Klippenstein on his Substack in September appear to be related to a hack of the Trump campaign earlier this year, which the FBI has linked to Iran. Documents from the hack have been shared with several media outlets, which have chosen to not publish them. Media outlets did not reach the same decision when they gave significant attention to files from Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign that had been hacked and leaked by Russian intelligence before she ultimately lost that election to Trump.

Fox's success at getting its viewers to internalize its propaganda is unrivaled. The only criticism they ever got was because they were seen as not propagandizing hard enough for Trump. Which probably led them to the Dominion settlement, chasing viewers they were bleeding off to more insane networks.

But I believe the guy who shared it redacted that when it was discovered. He should have gotten slapped but I don't think a permanent ban is consistent with how other cases were treated.
