Former NY Times editor rips Trump coverage as biased

[HomerJS]

I did not lie (see my edit) but should have been more clear. It did not necessarily originate from Hillary herself, but those tied to her are the originators, or at best the propagators that made birtherism widespread. Any way you slice it, those tied to her are responsible.

One person forwarding an email vs appearing on Fox News almost 24x7 to preach the hate of birtherism and you give credit to the email??

Are you capable of being honest with yourself? Do you realize how sad of a person that makes you?

 

[Jhhnn]

Trump claimed his crowd size was the largest of all time yet we had pictures. We were able to see with our own eyes he was lying.

Huh-uhh! They switched the pictures! It was a giant conspiracy! Obama used his Kenyan mooslim voodoo time warp mind control to change History!

Or, Trump lies. Go figure.

I guess that KMV is stronger then we thought!

 

[brandonbull]

It's called "RT" which is short for "Russia Today"

It's still called the NYT for now.

So that's how they switched the inaugural pictures! No wonder nobody can figure it out!

And there were 3-5M illegal votes, too, but the Great Leader fooled 'em all by winning the electoral College!

Hail Trump! He is your voice! He alone can fix it!

 

[blankslate]

But is the coverage accurate?

Everybody has bias but as long as the facts are on point and the reporter isn't trying too hard to tilt the story I can deal with a little "bias" creeping in.

He generates negative headline the old fashioned way, by earning it. That's what happens when you are vile, despicable degenerate.

And unsurprising, Fox lies to the OP and he buys every word.

Trump devotees already believe what he said and there ain't no facts gonna change their minds. He could shoot somebody.

The weirdest thing about Trumpees IMO is that they actually seem to believe that the reason for Trump's unpopularity is because of this 'biased' media, and not because of Trump's own hateful words and tweets.

Or that Trump tower was wiretapped.

To be fair--brandonbullshit is correct. Trump Tower was tapped by the FBI....but that is because Trump housed some Russian mobsters there for years. (Giant suite under's Trump's lavish palace to tackiness) So, you know, of course the FBI would be listening to known international criminals. IT was an illegal gambling ring, run by a multi-convicted Russian criminal, that is now on the run (IIRC). So, you know, of course there would be no reason for the FBI to order surveillance of Trump Tower--mind you, this started well before Chief Mushroomdick decided he could play-act as president.

Oh, was Trump Inc perhaps recorded on some of those conversations, speaking with their buddies? Oh damn, that's just unfortunate I guess.

LoL--Trump was so fucking under-the-water when he FAILED TO SUCCEED WITH A CASINO, that he was forced to host a fucking Russian mafia casino boss in his own tower, to begin working off debts that the Russian (State?) brought to him. LoL--this scandal just writes itself. In any other situation, this asshole would be in prison, probably executed for Treason, and you fucking know it.

So, what say you, dumbass?

I mean--you want to know one of the reasons that people flee from this guy? They read the actual briefings and catch wind of what the FBI and the Special Council has on this family, and they are literally terrified that any association with this Orange bucket of puss would wash over on them, and possibly, if they don't play things right, get them poloniumed by some Russian hitman.

But as long as Big Brother keeps the Trump Faithful blissfully uninformed and wholly unaware of the world around them, nothing can be amiss. All is right.

 

[zinfamous]

100% correct. And it does happen from both sides. The news is not really news anymore, it is all opinion pieces and certain stories that get the base going that are always highlighted.

Your thread is a complete lie. The journalist that you are championing here has officially called you, and the people that feed you this fake bullshit, out. It would be better for you to redact all of this, but you obviously don't give a shit about respect. You don't care if people are willing to believe the shit you say, because you know it is all horseshit.

You are lower than a slime mold.

Not even close. Slime mold is useful and serves a natural purpose.

[darkswordsman17]

We need to study the OP. Somehow they've been able to constantly become more full of shit, it must be leaking out of their ears at this point and they're looking like the one guy that puffs himself up til he explodes from Big Trouble In Little China.

Conservatives suffer from a bunker mentality/ persecution complex kind of thing. Always under siege somehow. And poor Donald! Look at the way they treat him! Soo unfair!

I do think there’s very noticible differences in the coverage of Barry vs Trump and the former was given passes on things that the latter wouldn’t be (it’d just get drowned in the noise anywhom), but the frothing at the mouth anti-media paranoia on the right is not only incredibly annoying but potentially threatening to one of the pillars of our democracy.

Poor Donald! They're so biased against him! They woulda given Obama a pass!

If they woulda, when did they? I don't think they'd give a pass to any president who averaged 15 lies per day for a whole year-

The difference between Obama and Trump when it comes to the media is that, with Obama, the right was always mad that the media wasn’t talking about some imagined drummed up conspiracy they had come up with or a situation or statement they twisted completely out of context.

With Trump the right gets mad when the media reports what Trump says and does. They just focus on the negatives. Right. Because just about everything he does is a negative. He drowns out anything he might actually accomplish with his own bullshit.

The Obama admin didn’t have a notoriously rocky relationship with the media because they always gave him a free pass.

I would say if anything the coverage of Trump has been far, far too lenient. If you actually look at the scale of corruption and incompetence we're talking about here it's obvious to any unbiased observer that Trump is constantly given passes on what would be huge scandals in any other administration simply because the sheer amount of scandal and corruption is too great to focus on them.

I really find it strange that anyone would try and claim that the media is biased against Trump and do so with a straight face.

1) This is the guy who spent $20 million to settle a lawsuit that he defrauded (ie: stole money from) thousands of people. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
2) This is the guy who said on national television that he fired the head of the FBI for investigating his associates.
3) This is the guy who currently owns a hotel down the street from the White House where foreign governments routinely put cash in his pocket. (ie: bribe him)
4) He appears to have bribed the Manhattan DA to not prosecute several of his children for fraud.
5) He appears to have stolen thousands of dollars from his charity to pay off his personal legal bills.
6) I could go on, and on, and on.

If Obama had engaged in even a single one of those things it would have been a national scandal, probably causing his impeachment and yet we barely even talk about them anymore. No president has had an easier time from the media as compared to what they SHOULD have gotten than Trump. None.
