The Overwhelming Bias of the Mainstream Media
- sigmaprimus 8y agoDivide and conquer, let's split the media up into mainstream, alternative, right and left wing. Once everyone chooses sides we can pick them off one by one? I'm so sick of this crap, I used to like watching fox news and CNN, late night talk shows, even SNL but now I guess I'm suffering from fatigue, I don't know if it's the media's fault, Trumps fault or both but it is all depressingly constant negativity from both sides. Sorry I know this isn't the place for that rant but neither is the place for this article.
- BLKNSLVR 8y ago"Depressingly constant negativity" Outrage is a media-bankable commodity of unlimited supply.
- Ozzie_osman 8y ago"Funnily enough, the over-coverage of Trump by the media actually gave him an edge when it came to the election. Despite the fact that negative news on Trump were the norm, they only gave Trump more publicity. A prime example that, the lower the media sinks, the more it backfires on them." THAT is the only part of the article that rings true. Trump deserves all the negative media coverage in the world, but the media's lack of tact and professionalism ends up helping him and reinforcing his narrative.
