This is wrong for sure...... but for anyone to think the modern day media doesn't do these types of things  in all avenues ( streets, roads and lanes too ) is a fool.

All of the facts show Trump's claims of a stolen election are false. Therefore, there is no bias.

This is not a difficult concept, and yet. . . .

Toaster is fine with and even defends the teaching of gender theory to young children, but one teacher making one question about bias that he doesn't like in a single FL classroom is thread-worthy. Ishlibs gonna ishlib. :lol:

Back in the 1890s, fake news helped start a war | The World from PRX

 

The start of the Spanish-American war back in 1890 was because of this headline. The war ship blew up and nobody knew why, yet the papers blamed it on the Spanish and it started the war. The only reason for the headline was so that Hearst and Pulitzer could sell more papers.

Nothing has changed in over 100 years. People continue to say sensational things so people click on links, like and repost their awful tweets, or watch their terribly created nightly opinion news show. They don't care about the right truth - they care that you are outraged so you will continue to watch them so they can make more money.

Well said. There were a few stalwarts such as Cronkite through the years, but now its almost a prove we are wrong situation with the media. Mind you I am not speaking of the several social media platforms out there but the news outlets that should be unbiased. Now they are all just mouthpieces for different factions in the government.

Instead of reporting news and allowing us to come to our own conclusions and opinions..... by adding certain wordings to everything they are trying to tell us what we should think, and it better coincide with what they think or you will be severly ridiculed.
