Joe Scarborough reported something stunning on todays Morning Joean insight into just how blatantly, consciously biased one of Americas leading newspapers was in its effort to elect Hillary Clinton.
Said Scarborough:
There was somebody that held an extraordinarily important position in print media who brought their people together after Hillary Clinton lost and literally said, we did the best we could do. We tried and we failed. But we did the best we could do.'

Of course we know that the MSM is biased. Still, stunning to hear of the head of a big newspaper stating it so openly.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Two things helped Trump the most - his direct (and often over the top) communications, and the over-the-top media bias providing daily proof of Trump’s charge that everything is rigged.

They know which newspaper and which boss. Why don’t they just report the news?

Given that the MSM is essentially the propaganda arm of the Democratic National Committee, no wonder why they are now held in much lower regard than in the past. The first newspaper that finally decides to report the news in an unbiased manner and allows editorials with both sides of the issue will see its circulation go through the roof.

Yes...consider that their propaganda can be considered an “in kind” political contribution that is subject to regulations.

Bias is the wrong word. Bias indicates a tilt in one direction.
What the establishment media did was not “bias”. It was out and out advocacy for one side over the other.
Pure partisan advocacy. That is far, far beyond “bias”.

I hear you. The editorial page didn’t like Trump, and the news division is known to be quite liberal.
Even so, Scarborough rarely talks about the WSJ, whereas he has reporters from the NYT and WaPo on every day, and surely has better sources there.

President Trump tapped into American culture. America loves an under dog. Look at “Rocky”. It is the American story. Work hard, believe in yourself, believe in success, then enter the ring, fight, get hit, get up, hit, get hit but never give up.
That was trump. He got hit from every side. He would punch back, back and never stopped believing in himself and America. America saw a leader, a warrior, a friend. They were in his corner and never left. They told their friends and family over coffee. They became the resistance. The underground. They didn't want to be found. They came to rallies to tap into his energy and then back to the underground.
Our Rocky never stopped fighting and we knew it. We saw it. we got our energy from his energy. He was America's under dog. And American culture embraced him. When they raised his arm in victory Election Night, we all cheered, we all jumped up and we all cried that America was saved. He fought for us, we fought for him. America won.

Thank God for the Russians. They were the media counterweight. Humorous, but at our own expense. We heard Trump's message directly from him without filters, we knew that he had heard us, and we elected him. The media was never going to win after their failed attempt to slay Trump right after his announcement to run with their silly boycotts and feigned indignance. And Hillary was never going to be protected by a willing media in this age of the internet and social media.
But I did laugh when I read your post! Thank God for the Russians! lol
To: Kozy
Exactly, and only the unified mainstream media could have turned a billionaire into the underdog. I’m glad they did it, since Hillary following Obama would have been the end of the United States as a free country. But I hope they will learn from the price of their overwhelming bias and become the professionals they claim to be.
