Democracies risk 'losing souls' as media freedom erodes, group says

[Frederick Foresight]

Again. Total BULLSHIT. Unless your definition of "legitimate media" is hardcore left-wing biased media, then I agree. It is completely shocking that you are incapable of seeing the truth and that is that the "legitimate media" is a political propaganda machine for everything libtard.

I mean it is so easy to see. All you have to do is turn on any show on MSM right now and watch it.

Since you and I cannot even seem to agree on what the facts are, let alone their interpretation, I don't see the point of continuing.

Buh-bye.

Its the same thing, Liberal media in canada treats Trudeau and Obama like a god, liberal media in Canada and the states treats Harper, or Trump like they are the reincarnation of satan, every single word and action has an evil agenda if you listen to them.

I thought we were talking about Trump.

Im just comparing one to the other, the liberal media in both instances can find nothing wrong with the guy who is on their side of the spectrum, but every single word gets analyzed for ulterior motives if you happen to disagree with them.

Of course he's not getting equal treatment by the legitimate media; he's not an equal president. He's getting fair treatment.

Thank you for the great illustration of a libtard submitting subjective opinion as an objective fact.

Trudeau is not getting a free pass. He is critiqued regularly in the media. I see it daily. Do you even bother to look?

Oh, and how about Fox & Friends, Trump's key intel source? Objectivity personified? Breitbart, maybe? Daily Caller? And so on and so forth.

I am enjoying the schadenfreude.

The press tears a new one into any Republican or conservative candidate and is then aghast that someone like Trump gets elected.

Look what they did to Romney.

What do they expect to happen when they are so biased, that they are the only ones that don't see it.

They fooled a lot of people for a long time, but that's over.

None of those places claim to be bipartisan, all of them openly admit they are conservative sources, would you be willing to admit places like PBS, CNN, or NYT are liberal sources? Cause they sure dont seem to be able to admit that.

As for Trudeau getting a free pass, guess it depends on the source, i have to admit huffington post Canada seems alot more bipartisan than huffington post united states, but ive literally seen pictures of huffington post showing Trudeau and Trump making articles claiming Trudeau is making Trump his bitch.

In what world do you have to live in to think a little punk like Trudeau is running anyones show, let alone Trumps show? LOL, its just comical the way liberal sources line it up alot of the times.

This is one quote, you were right it was hard to find, her name is blowing up on google since tax return debacle.

"People want to draft me as an activist all the time, ascribe that role to me," Maddow said. "I'm not. The reason I know I'm not is that I stopped doing that in order to be the person who explained the news and delivered the news instead. It's a very clear line to me.".

In other words "Im the arbiter of truth, no poltical leaning whatsoever. Im not an activist just because i make an hour long show towing the liberal line every single day of the week, no i couldnt be that."

She has made a more egregious quotes than that one time too, but i spent 10 minutes looking through my own posts just to find that one, because it got buried on google after the Trump tax return story, but she makes this claim all the time, I used to watch her once in a while under Obama, because she is somewhat intelligent but she leaned more and more towards party insider as the obama years went on and i lost all interest. I think the other time i remember was on Bill Maher's show if this quote isnt from it.

Cant say i really blame her, id probably sell out too if that much money was on the line, all of the most popular people in the newsworld are hyperpartisan, gee i wonder why. But if i wanted to listen to the DNC platform id go watch debbie wasserman schultz videos, thats why i dont listen to Hannity either, i like people who think for themselves on all the issues.

I didn't know, of course, that she had ever said such a thing. I must object to her characterization of herself. She is not merely a conveyor of 'straight news'. Maybe its her choice of words, maybe demeanor, but it seems to me her 'reporting' goes well beyond straight news. There is a lot of none too subtle editorializing going on. I'm OK with it, but lets call a spade a spade.

Only to the extent that facts have an inherently "liberal" bias.
