MEDIA BIAS OF THE DAY: 8/4/2016



MEDIA BIAS OF THE DAY: MSNBC INEXPLICABLY SHOWS ANTI-TRUMP HEADLINES AFTER CUTTING AWAY FROM TRUMP RALLY

For seemingly no apparent reason, MSNBC today decided to cut away from Mr. Trump’s rally in Portland, ME, and inexplicably filled the screen with anti-Trump headlines. As you can see from the screenshot below, MSNBC dropped any sense of impartiality today and went into full-blown, apoplectic attack mode. For this we award today’s Media Bias of the Day honor to MSNBC.

[h=6]- AUGUST 05, 2016 -[/h][h=1]MEDIA BIAS OF THE DAY: 8/5/2016[/h]WASHINGTONPOST.COM: DOING HILLARY CLINTON'S DIRTY WORK

Another day, another instance of media bias—the latest offender is The Washington Post, and even more specifically, The Washington Post website.

This website usually tilts to the left, but today’s online edition of the Post doesn’t even try to hide the fact that they are essentially a propaganda arm for Hillary Clinton and her campaign.The Washington Post homepage is stacked with anti-Trump news stories along the left-hand side and then the Opinion section starts off with four consecutive attacks on Mr. Trump.

With subscriptions for the once legendary publication in free fall, it's clear that a conscious decision has been made by the owners and editors of The Washington Post to go all-in for Hillary.

USA TODAY WRITER PEDDLES FALSEHOOD THAT HAS BEEN DEBUNKED ​

A USA Today writer either failed to do thorough research or has completely ignored facts that would have exposed her false claims. The article, “For the Record’s week in review: Trump’s rock bottom,” attempts to mischaracterize Donald Trump by listing a certain falsehood that has already been discredited. The nonsensical line in the article accuses Mr. Trump of kicking out a baby at a rally. Even Katy Tur of NBC, who was at the event, gave an on-air recount of the exchange, debunking any claims of Mr. Trump kicking anybody out of the rally. Take a look here:

The mother of the baby also made a statement, saying Mr. Trump did not kick her and her baby out of the rally:

“The media has severely blown this out of proportion and made it out to be something that it wasn’t and is clearly using this as political gain for the Democratic Party. I hope this message sheds light to what really happened.”

BizPac Review was even able to see right through the obvious falsehood, unlike a media conglomerate like USA Today, and wrote a thorough and succinct review of what really happened at the rally. Instead of doing a simple Google search that would have provided the story with correct information, USA Today is playing fast and loose with the facts in this article.

[h=6]- AUGUST 07, 2016 -[/h][h=1]MEDIA BIAS OFFENDER: 8/7/2016[/h]JOURNALISTS CHEER AND APPLAUD CLINTON AT JOURNALISM CONFERENCE

On Friday, Hillary Clinton made an appearance at the NABJ/NAHJ conference to give a speech in front of thousands of journalists from all over the country. Strangely, the journalists in attendance applauded Clinton throughout her speech and as she answered questions.

From the start as Clinton was introduced, she was immediately cheered and greeted with unwavering approval by journalists in the crowd. When Clinton launched an unfounded attack on Mr. Trump, the crowd applauded, as they did when Clinton began talking about her approval ratings while Secretary of State. After her speech, Clinton held a “press conference” and took questions from journalists who just earlier had been fawning over her.

It seems like the applauding journalists in attendance need a refresher course in impartiality. Favoring one candidate over another further erodes the public’s trust of what should be an unbiased media.

Kudos to Time’s Lissandra Villa for writing up a review of the criticisms of these applause lines, and you can click here to watch a lively recap of all the times NABJ/NAHJ journalists applauded Hillary Clinton on Friday, as assembled by the Washington Examiner’s Beckett Adams:

​MEDIA BIAS OFFENDER: 8/8/2016

POLITICO

It looks like Politico couldn’t help themselves again, this time plastering their homepage with anti-Trump stories. Mr. Trump today gave a highly anticipated speech in Detroit to introduce his economic plan that will lower taxes and bring jobs back to America. Yet, Politico has decided that unbiased reporting on Mr. Trump’s policies do not warrant a spot on their homepage. That is usually par for the course, as Politico operates with a click-bait model that places a premium on sensational stories and pushing an anti-conservative viewpoint. It's no wonder that the online publication has continued its downward spiral from a legitimate political outlet into gossip and tabloid journalism.

It's HYSTERICAL and typically hypocritical how the brain dead Drumpf idiots have now turned against the very reason why the Idiot is where he is, the Media that's sucked his tiny little Seymour for over a year.
