Do you believe that the mainstream media is biased against Republicans?

[strateguy632]

Do you believe that news companies should tell the story as is, not use wording to demonize republicans nor favor liberals?

[ManOnFire]

Yes and no. Mainstream media does tend to blur out Republican perspective, but that's not always for no reason. Republican outlets like FOX News do not report actual truth or facts, although from time to time they will report things that no other media outlets will.

However, the "liberal media" does not report everything like it should either. American media is still state-run, while claiming it is "free press" but it really isn't. If so then our evening news networks would be broadcasting reports on child trafficking, Andrew Tate, more Americans moving to Cambodia, etc. Mainstream media is still about trying to ignore all the other things that the common public is already aware of or follows, and trying to pretend these things don't exist so that they can continue to serve us the usual news with an agenda.

about so called "republican" outlets see my reply to red here

[WindAtMyBack]

Of course they do. It's blatantly obvious. There have also been many studies over several decades that show the bias is very real. I think liberals don't see it because it's less obvious to them. The media bias doesn't stand out because liberals agree with it. To conservatives it stands out like a sore thumb.

And by media, it does not just mean the news. The news is minor compared to the entirety of the media.

The difference between the way they treat Republicans vs Democrats is extreme.

The absolute worst part is the liberal brainwashing of children. Sound extreme? What else would you call it when you push liberal agenda in children's programming?

I think they should report the truth but then they wouldn't have jobs anymore.

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, the left wing bias of the MSM is very real.

[NamerOfStars]

Your own wording gives you away- it's most emphatically NOT biased in favor of liberals; it's biased in favor of Democrats. Yes, there's a lot of overlap, but they're far from the same thing.

[strateguy632]

good distinction

[exitseven]

The media is the enemy of rhe people. It is all democrat operatives with press passes. The toughest question the ever asked Biden is what his favorite ice cream is. When Trump was president they would ask him very rude questions and aTrump would just give it right back to them.

[RedInnocent68]

No. There is polarization among media outlets (eg, Fox v MSNBC). However, the aggregate ownership of media would suggest if there were bias, it would be in favour of conservatives. The real issue is that many Republicans have become the same whiny snowflakes they once criticized, bitching about anything that hurts their feelings or questions their world view.

[strateguy632]

actualy fox is the ONLY one that shows BOTH sides.

[DarkWinterNights]

Of course.


The left and the right live in completely different realities. There’s no way to fix this anymore.

[Bricealan]

Of course, but that is not going to happen in today's world

[abc3643]

I don't so much think it is "biased against the GOP" as much as it has a tendency to be "biased toward liberalism". Which makes sense because reality has a liberal bias.

[NathanDavis]

both parties have their own mainstream media outlets... everyone knows that

and their big money sponsors too... both

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

If the mainstream media has nothing bad to say about Republicans THEY DO NOT SAY A THING news blackout

[NaultD]

It walks like a duck and talks a duck? We all looked at each other and recognize it as a duck. Should the media report a duck on sight?

[gorydetails]

The mainstream media is propaganda for the democrat party.

[matchrestore]

No. If anything they're soft on Republicans.
