“They are not trying to tell people what to think, or even what the reporter thinks.” What a joke. Literally 80% of MSM reporting is framed from a leftist view

“They are not trying to tell people what to think, or even what the reporter thinks.” What a joke. Literally 80% of MSM reporting is framed from a leftist viewpoint of what’s right/wrong. For years now it plays dirty by leaving out key facts or misrepresenting a situation to favor lefist ideology (e.g. “1 Killed after Tesla Cybertruck Battery Explodes” headline rather than “Explosive Device Detonated from Vehicle…”, since the media now hates Elon since he helped Trump win). I can often feel the seething hatred of the right coming off the words written by the journalist. It’s crazy to me that people on the left are blind to this. You should really re-analyze your level of objectivity if you don’t see this (or maybe read all the “Twitter Files”, etc released on X over the past year or 2).

Strangely, it looks to me like 70% of MSM reporting is from a conservative viewpoint. I mean, we had WaPo and LA Times refuse to endorse Harris, how is that liberal? How do we reconcile this?

  It probably starts when folks like the parent-poster provide a clear definition for "leftist", preferably something that isn't "anyone who sounds like they'd vote for a Democrat." https://existentialcomics.com/comic/289 https://existentialcomics.com/comic/289

  WaPo has endorsed Democrats literally every single election dating back to 1988. So you now consider them “conservative” since they refused to endorse Harris? How on Earth did you make that jump? They didn’t endorse because Bezos (and Polymarket) knew she was gonna lose and was trying to buy some political capital after he allowed his newspaper to unfairly and violently bash Trump for years. The lead editor quit over it in a hissy fit after Bezos temporarily put a lid on the absurdity going on inside there. Wouldn’t be surprised if the non-endorsal was a quid-pro-quo with Trump in exchange for Trump not axing or messing with Bezos’ many govt contracts. The main problem here isn’t even the media, it’s people like you who are still refusing to acknowledge or understand the actual state of the propaganda machine MSM. How could you possibly reconcile this when you don’t even see issue because of your cognitive dissonance?

    "Wouldn’t be surprised if the non-endorsal was a quid-pro-quo with Trump in exchange for Trump not axing or messing with Bezos’ many govt contracts." You describe highly tyrannical and corrupt behavior and say the previous Trump coverage was absurd and unfair...

      That was actually just a verbal agreement between two private citizens at that point. Yet you likely ignore the weaponization of the justice system to take-down/bankrupt political opponents and use govt contracts to essentially bypass 1st amendment rights and use that to try to sway an election. That’s borderline treason in America and hopefully people will go down for that soon. Theres a reason Trump won the POPULAR VOTE and ALL swing states. The educated left is still in SEVERE denial and are actively ignoring facts. Cognitive dissonance 101.

        Sure, then blackmail is also just a verbal agreement between two private citizens. But on another note, Trump is still fantasizing that he won 2020. So my question is, what would have been the recourse if Pence went along with the fake elector scheme. How would Trump have been removed from office?
