"Mostly Fair" Media

Most in the media say they just report the facts. But is that true?

Joe Concha says no. He writes about media for The Hill.
He points out that even as fires raged behind reporters during recent protests, the media still call the protests “mostly peaceful.”
“We've seen billions and billions of dollars in damage,” says Concha, “Yet you have news organizations saying, ‘this isn’t that bad.’”
Some others examples: CNN twists statistics to make Trump look even worse. Reporters ask presidential candidates very different kinds of questions
It is clear many reporters don’t like Trump or Republicans. Last election, 96% of journalists’ political donations went to Hilary Clinton. Why?
“Most of our national media are in two cities, New York and Washington,” says Concha, “When you’re surrounded by everybody else in a city and newsroom that goes the other way, it’s almost impossible not to start to conform.”

I've yet to see a single example of gun-rights activists commit ANY sort of violence during their protests. In Pennsylvania they even openly carried their guns to show that their guns can be out in the open and cause no violence despite what leftists claim guns do. Give me one example of right-wing protests devovling into riots. Charlottesville wasn't a right-wing protests fyi, it was a fascist protest.

A bomb exploded in Times Square. Media: The city has fierce fires but mostly peaceful.

[@AnonYMouse-ky4sg]

TheVideomaker2341 This isn’t an accurate analogy. First of all, let’s agree that when it comes to the total city area, of New York, it’d be 100% accurate to say the city is mostly peaceful if only one bomb exploded in Times Square. So if it’s a truthful statement, why would it not be appropriate to say that? Because the rest of the city was never in question if you’re talking about Times Square, so it makes it sound as if you’re downplaying the seriousness of the issue. (Your analogy is actually exactly analogous to saying White Lives Matter or All Lives Matter in response to Black Lives Matter. The fact of the statement is not in question, but you sound like you’re downplaying the actual subject being discussed.) Compare and contrast to a scenario where someone is asking whether or not there have been more bombs set off in the city. Now it would be appropriate to say, “No, there hasn’t been more bombs, the city is mostly peaceful aside from this incident.” So why is it appropriate for journalists to state the fact that the protests are mostly peaceful? That’s right, it’s because it is in question whether or not they are peaceful or if most of the protestors are there to incite violence or not. There is a running narrative you will see even in this comment section that most of the protesters are violent, when the facts on the ground are that they are mostly peaceful with a few hooligans *on both sides* hijacking and taking advantage of the opportunity to stoke division and hatred. Most people don’t have a nuanced understanding of politics because they only listen to one news source and can’t look at things objectively or from more than one side. It’s important to find that nuance when it comes to controversial subjects like this. Controversy doesn’t happen spontaneously, it’s because two side have a different understanding of the facts, and it’s important to understand where all sides are coming from.

Honestly, I believe the media swing left because left=change. Conservative, by definition, means status quo. The left is the opposite to that, and that means change. They feel it is improvements, but that is simply a matter of opinion. The point is, though, that status quo is not news worthy. Change is something to talk about. Therefore media is, by default, going to be left leaning, because they report on things that are out of the normal/constant. The real issue is that the media today is MAKING the news. By saying they are unbiased, but actually not reporting in an unbiased way, they sway public opinion to support the minority viewpoint. This then turns a small, local and rare event into looking like something 50% of the people support. That then gets more people to believe in that minor viewpoint and thereby making it into an issue that comes up more and more. It gives them more to report on. They create more of the news they report on. The media is the real problem, not because they lean left, but because they aren't told what they are doing is wrong.

John so great to HEAR your perspective again.

~ Mr. Stossel....you should have been the moderator for the debate between Trump and Biden. *You are truly an honorable journalist and probably a great moderator.* My hat off to you.....

The morning of Sept 11th, 2001 was mostly boring.

[@kiteman3251]

he is a really good interviewer, he doesn't bring in his own opnions until after the interview and he asks his questions in both layman, and expert perspectives.

This content like yours is deeply needed in Brazil. With CNN getting more and more popular and traditional journalism shifting towards opinion journalism in here, we're destined to the same abysm.

Show me where in the constitution protesters have to be peaceful “The right of the people to *peaceably* assemble”

[@sammyboy170]

Exactly the same here in Australia. It’s been going on for years getting worse every day.

[@benadams3569]

It cracks me up, and saddens me at the same time when I see fires in the background and the reporter states "peaceful protest." IT'S NOT! THERE'S LITERALLY A FIRE BEHIND YOU SET BY ONE OF THE PROTESTORS!

[@benadams3569]

The man Stossel was interviewing may have been a "right-winger," but John would have called him out on bullshit if there had been any (and he has before with other Republicans).

At this point, I don’t believe there are any undecided voters. Those on the left, and those on the right, are dug in, no debate or news story is going to sway anyone’s opinion. it’s turned into a giant shit show, and condoning riots and attacking police is never acceptable, who could have predicted the public would not take to them favorably? When I was in school, long, long ago, we had to read Orwell’s 1984. I thought it was the most boring book I’d ever read! But now, now I know why it was required reading.

[@Xtiansldrs]

How about Trump receiving his THIRD Nobel Peace Prize nomination? Yeah, I had to resort to an Australian news source to learn that myself. That’s quite important and impressive. All these crazy people negate ANY thing remotely honest about Trump. It’s Flippin bizarre. Stossel should know...HE came directly from reporting amongst those same “reporters” of which he’s speaking about. This insanity HAS TO STOP.
