Media Bias: Subtle (and Not So Subtle) Ways Journalists Slant the News

Reporters often suck up to Democrats, but interrupt and cut off Republicans.

----
Hostile interruptions are easy to notice. Other media bias is more subtle.
Until this year, the media always covered Iowa Caucus victory speeches.
But when Trump won, CNN cut away from his speech
Some say it’s not responsible to broadcast Trump live because he lies so much.
But Biden lies too.
We reporters can point that out.
That’s better than censoring candidates’ speeches.
The media should let us listen and decide for ourselves.

Totally agree, 'atomspheric flood' that is nothing more than a heavy rain storm, or 'polar vortex' for a very cold artic air heading south.

I grew up democratic, when it started being all I could hear, I started to feel like they were becoming fascist.

[@ronjon7942]

They’re there now! But Democrats, in the Classical Liberal sense, haven’t changed - those Democrats love America, Democracy, and the Constitution, and are folks I can have a BBQ with. Somehow, these ‘fascists’ infiltrated the Democratic Party and hijacked it from its original constituents.

[@Dan-Halen714]

They ARE fascist. What would you call it when 4 judges in CO and 1 unelected official in ME can decide which candidates their constituents can vote for? That sure as hell ain't democracy.

[@jeffdible8171]

@hud86 The only ones who can be fascists or Nazis are Republican, Conservatives, and Libertarians. The democrat politicians, their government (votes over 70% Dem), their public sector unions (money goes to Dem politicians) do have a lock on one term: Tyrannical Statists. Call them that every single time. They won't debate it and can't deny or defend it.

It's so refreshing to see a journalist calling out their own for their dishonest behavior. One of the last few good mainstream journalists out there. Thank you for all you do Stossel, even when I disagree with you on something I still feel like you covered it fairly. We're so screwed in the USA when the rest of the "old guard" journalists are no longer with us.
