Even Some MSM People are Beginning to Admit Bias

I don't know who Tapper is, but it sounds as if he is intellectually honest:

ABC Reporter Acknowledges Media Bias Toward the President; Greg Gutfeld: ‘Obama’s Their Justin Bieber’ | Fox News Insider

Do you think despite the source the gist of the headline could have truth to it?

Fox News = New York Times / Right side = Left side

I do agree with the comment that was posted below the article.


"OUR GOVERNMENTAL FUNCTIONS ARE NOT SAFE APART FROM TRUE AND CANDID SOCIO-POLITICAL FACT. HOW ARE THOSE WHO INTENTIONALLY PERVERT AND POISON THE INFORMATIONAL STREAM TO AMERICA'S VOTERS, ANY DIFFERENT FROM FOREIGN SPIES, OR MILITARY REGIMES WHO SEEK THE DESTRUCTION OF THIS REPUBLIC?"

Hmmm...... you must not have read the article. An ABC libber was quoted saying that the MSM was mistaken in supporting B.O. in 2008.

I guess it would be asking too much to ask you to read the article, rather than just throw rocks at the source. Of course in this case the source within the article is one of your own.

"Even some MSM..."

Apparently "some" is the same as "ONE".
It's a regular TREND there Larry.

Well if that's the case, then maybe the media's not the gaggle of liberal shills you and yours like to characterize it after all.
S'Okay with me.

It is individuals working for those news organizations speaking their opinion, not speaking for the news organization. Please stand down.

Well if the media is not filled with "liberal shills" then I wonder why the most recent poll of news reporters showed 65% for Obama and 15% for Romney? Hmmm????

A generation ago, Journalists took pride in checking their personal opinions at the door. The also took pride in concealing their personal opinions to the point that views/ readers could not figure where they stood on any issue. Straight news reporting. Then along came a generation infatuated with the idea that they should " make a difference", and the era of propaganda-masquerading-as news was born.

Got a link? Hmmmm?

Actually, if you're referring to the recent Rasmussen poll, it was a poll of voters' opinions of the media, not a poll taken directly of reporters' opinions.
Unless of course you have a different link. That's all I found, and it's interesting how you've twisted it. Or misread the Washington Times article it's mentioned in.

Presumably, if the numbers in that poll were reversed, you'd figure it was just fine. It would be because in their unbiased view Romney is the best candidate.

Very true!

I was in Little Rock on the 40th anniversary of the day when the National Guard held order while some black students made their way into Little Rock High. The local paper ran reprints of the front pages of that day 40 years ago. ALL the stories on the front page were complete and unedited word for word quotes of what different parties said about the issue.

THAT is what news should be. Give us EXACT reporting of what the people said and then let US draw our own conclusions.

The dishonest reporting, if you can call it that, is LARGELY responsible for the awful mess that the USA has turned into.

Because they do research for a living. They can smell it before you sling it.
