I for one am shocked that Pokerguy's allegations of media bias turned out to be wrong.

SHOCKED.

lol, coming from the guy who still can't admit the media being in the pocket of DNC / illary campaign despite all the email leaks. Good stuff :D

This is going to be a great 4 years (at least) at this rate, with the desperate lefties flinging poo against the wall each day hoping there's something bad they can come up with against Trump. MAGA already!

Yes, the email leaks that showed normal campaign behavior that all politicians engage in. No matter how many times you're shown to be wrong your faith never wavers because your opinions aren't based on evidence, they are based on feelings.

Like here, you were sure it was the result of biased media without reading the source. When you were wrong you ignored it and moved on, changing nothing.

Yeah, like the normal behavior of providing questions in advance of debates? Pretty much normal stuff right? Just face the facts, your precious media has been outed as DNC shills. Nobody believes in the myth of objective media anymore, you can stop banging that drum now :)

Good job, PokerGuy, I think you are just about ready to strap on a vest.

/facepalm. Funny that now you're arguing that the proof of libera media bias is one person acting AGAINST the most liberal candidate.

You need to keep your story straight. Haha.

Brazille was working for CNN, and she was in fact doing everything she could to push illary. I just provided one example of it, but that's pretty much how the media in general works, just shilling for the lefties, whichever lefty they happen to prefer. She happened to prefer one lefty (illary) over another (Bernie) but she (and all the others of her ilk in the media) did everything they could to push illary and fight Trump. Unbiased media. LOL. Thank goodness Trump and this election helped expose the media for the lying shills they are.

Really Skippy?

Got more lame stream media news for you. Guess who broke the Hillary email server story?

The New York Times.

I didn't see Fox News, Breitbart, Drudge or any other rags get off their lazy asses and investigate this. Like Trump they took an existing structure slapped their name on and ran with it, claiming credit.

Hahaha. I'm totally shocked that as soon as the 'liberal media' is shown to be against the most liberal candidate you twist your story around so that it's somehow still the liberal media. No contrary information will affect the bubble!

It's also amusing, as HomerJS mentioned, that you think the media was somehow shilling for the Clinton campaign when it devoted vastly more time to Clinton's email server than it did to Trump's scam university that he's on trial for right now, his declaration that he wants to ban all Muslims from immigrating to the US, etc.

The fact is that less then 1/3 of Americans have any trust in the mainstream media. You're running around putting bars and padlocks on the door, but the horses are long gone from that barn.

Only in your deluded world does the media supporting one lefty (the chosen one) over an independent lefty not favored by the lefty establishment do anything to refute the claim the media supports the lefties. :D

Was there the possibility of national security being compromised with Trump uni? Was he the secretary of state or just any other public citizen? Of course the focus would be on her criminal activities. Duh. Also, just like the lying media, you're lying about Trump wanting to ban all Muslims from immigrating to the US. He said he wanted to temporarily suspend their immigration until there is proper vetting. Another prime example of how the lying biased media: present information out of context and then make false assertions about what it means.

Having the media exposes as untrustable biased shills must really sting......

.... and that was BEFORE their bias and lying were exposed in the last couple of months of the election. Imagine where it is now. 20% maybe?

Don't forget all the people expecting a Hillary win election night, there are still some faithful, but it just proved how biased the media is.

Nice attempt to resolve the cognitive dissonance! Now when the 'liberal media' supposedly supports a less liberal candidate it's because their secret bias is actually a bias for the establishment. Always amusing to see how the narrative shifts when the stubborn facts don't fit it.

Hahaha, perfect example of rationalization in action. When the media reports on things about Clinton negatively it's because they are just doing their job and it's a legitimate story. When they report things negatively about Trump it's because of bias. You can't make this shit up.

Do you seriously not see yourself furiously attempting to resolve this cognitive dissonance?

Also, just like the lying media, you're lying about Trump wanting to ban all Muslims from immigrating to the US. He said he wanted to temporarily suspend their immigration until there is proper vetting.

You should be careful about saying that other people are lying when lying yourself as then you're outed as both a liar and a hypocrite. A ban on Muslims entering the US is still a ban on Muslims entering the US even if it is supposedly temporary. This is just basic English and there's no escaping it. The media got it 100% right and you just tried to lie your way out of it. Busted!

Again, just your deluded world. The point is that the media is biased, and they are biased towards the left. Which particular lefty they prefer has no bearing on the fact that they are aligned in their bias against the right. I know it's tough to come to grips with the reality when so much of your world view depends on the lies of the left, but acceptance is the first step ;)

Again, this is exactly why everyone can see the media is full of biased liars (at least 70% of the population can see it, probably a lot more now) and yet you can't. Taking a statement out of context can be 100% English and sill present a completely distorted picture. Welcome to the lefty media in a nutshell. I knew sooner or later you'd get it, though you won't ever admit it :D

I know what your point is, I was just showing you that you're just conjuring up excuses for why the facts don't fit it. For example, the part about Clinton's emails that you didn't respond to. Bad things for Clinton = media doing it's job. Bad things for conservatives = BIAS.

It's not hard to see what you're doing, it's just sad that you're so unaware of it.

By all means tell me what context makes this statement not a ban on Muslims. Alternatively, admit you lied.

Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

There's no excuses for why the facts don't fit: the facts fit perfectly. The media is full of lefties. Of course they might disagree on which particular lefty they prefer, but ultimately they prefer any lefty over the conservative candidate. Facts fit perfectly. There's infighting over which lefty to support (with the chosen one ultimately the winner, it was her turn!), but there's no doubt that whichever lefty is nominated will be supported by the media.

It's not hard to see what you're doing, it's just sad that you're so unaware of it.

Mirror mirror on the wall.... let eskimo take a peek at himself ;) At least 70% of the country can see it (likely a lot more now), yet he is incapable of seeing the obvious reality.

By all means tell me what context makes this statement not a ban on Muslims.

First, can you point to where he said "ban"? He said temporarily halt their entrance until the immigrants can be vetted. (in his words, until our country's representatives can figure out what's going on). Typical lib distortion.

My bet is that it will be closer to 25%. There are always a few who benefit from a biased media and in whose political and financial interests it pays to keep supporting the status quo.

He said 'total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the US'. Here is the dictionary definition of 'ban'.

to prohibit especially by legal means

Please explain as simply as you can how the government 'totally and completely shutting down Muslim entry to the US' does not mean to prohibit Muslim entry into the US, especially by legal means. Take as much time as you need.

Alternatively, admit that the media was 100% right and you were wrong to accuse them of lying.

I'll help. It revolves around the word 'temporary' which you might have missed.. Not too difficult to understand.
