it isn't relevant because it inconvenient to your argument which is a strawman. i never said the media is fair, balanced, or unbiased. you went there as a strawman, plain and simple.

so trump can work with fox news but if he gets a question he doesnt like from a reporter he doesnt like he can just walk away and play the victim? cool.

if he was more measured and poignant he could get more fair treatment, not fair totally but more fair. he's too flawed as it is to even get good treatment from a balance press. he trips over his own words.


The reporter took off her coronavirus mask.

Hmmm, I'm maybe not the most qualified person to judge this, but to me it always seemd as if talk radio was mostly a phenomenom of rural America and evangelical circles. How much influence does a guy like Rush really have in the cities and suburbs?




In this instance you're doing fine. All the media sources that anyone cares about (defined by market share), have been leaning left, since at least mid 2016.

If you have evidence of Sinclair's leanings as reflected by their local news influence then by all means, post it.


You're the one who's trying to sell the BS that Sinclair Media leans right...let's see some proof. LMFAO



/e Here's the reality...

Talk radio has a lot of influence in the suburbs too. I grew up listening to Rush, Michael Savage, etc. because those guys dominate the airwaves when you commute. Basically, if you commute in a car, you're likely listening to some sort of right wing radio if you enjoy talk radio (which I do). I think Rush is reaching out to 15 million people daily which is A LOT since almost all of them are politically active.

LOL. You're so full of it, it isn't even funny. In every house I visit in suburbia, I've never even SEEN a radio. Who you trying to BS lad?

Oh nothing big...just the last 4 years. :/

Google: Obamagate, like I did yesterday. Find me ONE single media source on the right side of that pic above, that's leaning right.
The ONLY ones I could find that were even remotely unbiased were the two I posted in post #3776.

No. But I'd bet anyone listening to a real radio is. LOL

The mainstream media was fellating Hillary and gave her the nod way before Trump started to mouth off. You could google articles from 2016 from outlets like CNN talking about how if you don't vote for her it's because you hate strong women and are sexist. Naturally the likes of CNN started to attack Trump being he was her opponent. These attacks only really started to happen as he was clearly going to be the nominee, before that he was just viewed as the next Ron Paul who will fade out of the race once the Bush/Rubio/Kasich establishment types shine.


Again, i never said the media is fair, that they didnt have it out for Trump, or that they're unbiased. i'm speaking to how Trump brings poor media treatment upon himself above and beyond what other GOP people get.

if we're calling the media a liberal biased institution, and that's fine by me, then we should judge on a sliding scale how they treat GOP politicians. Trump gets it the worst by an order of magnitude because of how he acts, not just because he beat HRC, not because he's vocally against Obama, etc. He is waging a war against them, and war has casualties. he also likes to cry about those casualties as if he's not at war. commanders dont cry over lost soldiers, they lament lost battles and lost wars. he's a big cry baby, walking out of a presser is just another proof of that in a long line of proofs. the man is a child and incapable of speaking coherently.

I see.

However, isnt the trend in recent years for commuters to listen their own music or podcasts on their phones?
But I might again be biased here, because I commute by subway, where radio isnt available. (Btw, having a 12 minute commute like I do is such a huge qol!! :D )
