Questions for people who think Liberals run the media.

S

StoneByStone

It's OK to Be White
Why do news networks always support either the Conservative or the Centrist, but never the Liberal? Shouldn't networks like CNN, which is supposedly liberal, be supporting Sanders and Warren instead of Biden, Harris, and Buttigieg?

Why is the media so friendly towards Christianity, but so against Atheism? Atheists are usually portrayed negatively in the media, so much so that the term "Hollywood Atheist" has become a trope. If the media is liberal, shouldn't Atheists and Atheism be portrayed positively?

When exactly did Liberals take over the media? For most of American history, the media has been very sexist, homophobic, and transphobic, but at the same time Conservatives were claiming the media was Liberal. So when exactly did this switch occur for real? Were past Conservatives incorrect?

That post is all over the place

Fact is over ninety five percent of all media is owned by five major corporations, they are chasing the buck, profit is the primary objective, and they give the viewer what they want to hear to maximize profits. Cable networks, especially FOX and MSNBC are the same by design, partisan to appeal to a partisan audience. The thing that annoys me is that neither won't come right out and say what they are and why they do what they do

We don't "think" liberals run the media, we KNOW they do. Pretending they don't makes you look stupid. :rolleyes:

Of those surveyed, 17.63% said they were “very liberal,” and 40.84% said they were “somewhat liberal,” for a total of 58.47% saying they lean left.

On the other side of the spectrum, just 0.46% said they were “very conservative” and 3.94% described themselves as “somewhat conservative,” for a total of 4.4% of respondents leaning right.

The studied journalists gave $382,000 to Clinton and just $14,000 to then-candidate Donald Trump. Just 50 of the journalists donated to Trump, meaning 380 — or 88% — gave to Clinton. This also only includes those who gave more than $200 to a candidate, as those names must be disclosed by law. Far more could have donated to either candidate with smaller donations.

A similar pattern was found in 2012.

WRONG again Arsecheese; if profit were their true motive they wouldn't be the Marxist leaning morons propagating the public with FAKE news. Most are LOSING money; hardly making it.

WRONG again Arsecheese; MSNBC is devoted to promoting a leftist DNC agenda and promoting lies and false narratives. Fox actually presents a fairly unbiased factual picture of what is going on.

Just the "truthie" being "truthie"

The study, so predictable framed by a right wing source funded by the Wilks brother, is a University accounting school's survey of business journalists, in other words, those covering business content, and not journalists in general. But that didn't stop "truthie" from generalizing he knew "liberals run the media," wasn't it a conservative just earlier who was labeling everything as "non sequitur fallacy"


(Now time for the insults and corny copy and pastes)

Now "truthie" is telling us corporations don't exist to make money, those six companies combined worth over $ 430 billion are just in it for the laughs, and losing money doing it

And then he goes on to tell us FOX is legitimate but MSNBC isn't, like both of them aren't based upon the same business model of selling to the choir

As I've said, always entertaining, usually one would have to hang around a bowling alley bar all day to hear the bullshit "truthie" attempts to get away with daily

So there are two major problems with this argument. First, it assumes that big business doesn't care about politics, it only cares about getting an audience. Right-wing economics, and arguably social issues too, are good for the super rich. Very few people in the 1% are going to promote Social Democracy if it means less profits for them.

Secondly, saying they're just giving the viewer what they want ignores the fact that there is no mainstream liberal media, despite there being many Liberals in the country.

They could say whatever they want, but actions speak louder. Why are these so-called "liberal" media networks backing centrist candidates? Why are Atheists portrayed negatively. You didn't actually answer any of the questions I asked.

The studied journalists gave $382,000 to Clinton and just $14,000 to then-candidate Donald Trump. Just 50 of the journalists donated to Trump, meaning 380 — or 88% — gave to Clinton. This also only includes those who gave more than $200 to a candidate, as those names must be disclosed by law. Far more could have donated to either candidate with smaller donations.

The Clintons aren't Liberals, they're Centrists. I agree that there is plenty of mainstream centrist media. I'm saying there is no mainstream liberal media.
