Media Bias
-
Since we kind of got off track with the post about ass whippings and such I thought A fresh thread might be nice.
I think there's no doubt that the press has treated Obama with kid gloves.
In general of course.
That does not mean that they refuse to cover every negative story but I think they tend to soft in them up a bit.
I'd also believe that most journalists out there support the president.
I have no doubt that many of them do their best to be fair despite that fact.
Some may even over compensate.
Even still I think it's probably hard to be balanced if you are ideologically in the guys tank.

There's as clear a media bias for Obama as there was announcer bias for the giants yesterday.

Exactly.
like I say even though I believe journalists prefer Obama they will still report actual facts.
But you can still feel the preference.
An example I made in the other thread is that I love to listen to Jim Donovan.
He's certainly a homer like Nev Chandler before him.
Still neither 1 refused to announce a Steeler touchdown.

For those who don't want to watch the video, here's what was said.
You can make a lot of money by being an assassin," he said. "It doesn't matter: right wing or left wing. You go in and you're a hater -- radio, cable, in print, whatever -- you can get paid. And there's a people who do that. And they go in, they don't even believe half the stuff they say. ... Capitalism drives that. There are people -- Americans -- who want to hear hate.

And I agree with that whole heartedly.
But I don't know if the actual rank and file journalists fall under that heading.
I'm sure some do, but...

reminds me of Skip Bayless, an asshole of the fifth degree, but is obviously found his niche spewing what he does.. and gets paid alot Im sure.
Cant tell how rank and file types are motivated except maybe with just having a job? Didnt you and heck cross that issue regarding editorial boards making the decisions
on what they publish anyways? So its go along or get lost?
