Do you think your political viewed side (left or right wing) is shown fairly by media?

[Thestupidusername]

Yes and I'm leftie

Yes and I'm on the right

No and I'm leftie

No and I'm on the right

I'm niether/results

[DJB72]

I'm more right leaning these days, but only because the left has gone so completely bonkers. I don't think either side is accurately portrayed by the media these days. News is now a commodity so it's about who's paying, not what's going on in the world.

[Thestupidusername]

I agree

[Al_Musafir]

I don't align by any political ideology on the chart. But I do believe that there are different versions, levels and perspectives of truths and lies shared there bending as per the bias, funds and propaganda of the media.

[Thestupidusername]

Well said

[Siri137]

I despise both sides of politics equally, because I'm clever enough to realise that they're just the two sides to the same rotten system.

[Thestupidusername]

Yeah I agree

[strateguy632]

the system is "voters choose leader" that isn't rotten. you prefer king and prince inheritance?

[Siri137]

@strateguy632 Wrong. We don't get to select the leader, but the party.

[Nikki1989]

No, not in this country. TV news and current affairs, newspapers, and radio are all owned by Murdoch.

[Thestupidusername]

Agree! And it affects other countries too because America has such a huge influence on many other countries

[milyjohn]

LOL

You're just guessing?

[milyjohn]

No. The left wing dominates the media. And, sadly, most people can't think for themselves, so they become sheeple.

[Thestupidusername]

Yup! I see this a lot sadly

[strateguy632]

i saw that too the wording of "news" is slanted double meaning. think of twitter banning trump. conservative don't have power. the radical left used its power.

[milyjohn]

The Democrats are a tough bunch to beat, because they don’t play by the rules.

[strateguy632]

i used to watch judge jeanine on fox show BOTH SIDES. the contrast helped me realize how awful dnc represents. i stopped watching. but fox shows both sides if you have a "strong stomach".

second best is the five on fox. other news medias cloud the real issues.

[jshm2]

How can it be, exactly?

The media is a business like any other, it has bills to pay. So if right wing advertisers and shareholders are most of it's funders and customers, then of course that is what it's going to appeal to.

Free media does not mean free of biases. It just means no one government has overall control of it. But a government can fund corporations and stakeholders to have control over it. So it's largely laughable to call it a "free media".

[NathanDavis]

I don't have a political leaning... especially not an extreme one

[Thestupidusername]

👍🏻👍🏻

[JacobJordan]

Jokes on you I don't have a political affiliation I think they all suck

[Thestupidusername]

Jokes on you I agree

[JacobJordan]

Woo high five 👋

[Thestupidusername]

😌👋🏻

[Kelly6]

to me, right or left doesn't matter.

what maters who will people with money choose as their leader

[Thestupidusername]

😊👍🏻

[Kelly6]

@thestupidusername
right or left is just a way to make public more stupid

[Thestupidusername]

It does create a lot of arguments. Some are valid but a lot of times people get blind to the side they support

[Kelly6]

true

[strateguy632]

notice each rich guy gets ONE vote, the millions of poor can outvote the rich.

[AngryCarl]

It depends which media. In the UK most of the media is skewed to the right.

[Thestupidusername]

Yup..

[dolemite58]

I think politics is all rigged so it’s pointless to care that much.

[Thestupidusername]

👍🏻👍🏻

[milyjohn]

Nice. Stop caring.

[rigmarole]

I have no party affiliation. I also don't watch media brainwash.

[exitseven]

No the media is not called fake news for nothing they are truly the enemy of the people

[Anonymous]

Take care of yourself kid

[Thestupidusername]

Wrong post?

[Opinion Owner]

[Thestupidusername]

Thanks anon

[Opinion Owner]

[Anonymous]

I am left wing like you.

[Thestupidusername]

Im not left wing. Im neither but am more right than left. But not how the media paints it

[Anonymous]

No, but I don't think they show the others ideas fairly either.
