Muscletank 410 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 10 minutes ago, SpadesToStart said: The very fact that Trump's camp uses "fake news" to describe any piece of journalism they disagree with or that paints them in a negative light is endemic to the whole problem of Trump and his ilk: "if I receive information that conflicts with my worldview, it must be fake, because I know I'm right and I've never done anything wrong" But how many liberals say that about Fox? If anyone uses a Fox piece to support a story or statistics, people will dismiss it straight off the bat as it's from Fox. Humans in general are massive hypocrites.

Someone that didn't go to college or is it simply people that don't share your view? No one is asking the media to tame coverage, but provide facts and data without overwhelming opinion. Opinion has now become mainstream news. The irony of you mentioning misinformation and propaganda. It wasn't nicknamed Clinton News Network for years before Donald was on the scene , for a reason. If you can't see how pushing one person with overwhelming fawning coverage and failing to constructively criticise their policies or views is a problem, then there isn't much more to be said. And for someone so against "hate", your post is dripping with resentment and hatred towards anyone who apparently isn't "educated" by your standards of the word. You're basically advocating removing the "voice" of anyone you consider dumb. That's called fascism. I'd actually argue that the majority of mainstream "liberal" or centre news stations made it a point to criticize Clinton's policies throughout her campaign... Especially when compared to Bernie Sanders in the primaries Unfortunately, when the criticism of Trump looked like "Here's Trump just literally saying stupid ****", some people took it as "The things he says are unimportant, its his policy that is. This is just liberal media reporting bad on Donald and only good on Hillary", when in reality, Trump's lack of intelligible policy is what gave him so much room to **** up and say stupid **** his entire campaign, and its why it was so heavily reported on Also, the idea that the amount of "opinion" vs "Fact" in left-right wing news stations is similar or even similarly dangerous is a false equivalency. I can think of numerous times throughout the election cycle where liberal policies and actions of the candidates were fairly and constructively criticized from the primaries up until the election, and I can NOT say the same of conservative ones (other than those straggling "Donald trump is everything we are not as Republicans, I won't support a racist, bigoted rapist" which was quickly followed by a "shh, we want to win, get in line" and a corresponding "alright") 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawning coverage? Lol...is that a joke? The media was brutal, including CNN. They would run five minutes of her speech and then give us the entirety of every speech Trump made. After a big policy speech of Hillary's (that they would show) they would go right back to talking about Trump constantly. They constantly pushed false equivalencies and criticized her for everything. You weren't watching CNN on a consistent basis, or you would have witnessed all of the above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
