NBC News reporter Chuck Todd mocked this FReeper on Twitter tonight for my pointing out that the media would rather lose money than cater to conservative consumers of news. The conversation started over a comment by Slater reporter Dave Weigel on media bias in polls:
Do people actually think news networks would pay for unreliable polls with bad samples b/c they love Obama so much? Don't answer that.
I replied: News media has deliberately alienated conservatives, willfully losing money to further liberalism. Skewed polls just a part.
Weigel retweeted my comment with a slight modification to his 75,849 followers: MT @KristinnFR: Media has deliberately alienated conservatives, losing money to further liberalism. Skewed polls just a part.
Chuck Todd chimed with his comment that went to his 245,862 followers: that is some "logic"; so our corporate parents deliberately want us to lose money? N-V-T-S nuts nuts nuts (N-V-T-S is a Ron Carey reference from the Roman Empire section of Mel Brook's film History of the World Part One.)
I replied to Todd: Newsweek. Sold for a buck to keep it out of conservative hands.
Someone else asked for empiracle evidence. I told him: Proof is in market place. Conservative radio, internet, news empires built to meet demand eschewed by MSM.
Well done.
The answer was “yes” a parent company of MSNBC, GE, willfully loses money to get acquisition rights to sweetheart deals from the Obama administration.

O’Reilly Claims ‘Corruption’: GE Using CNBC, MSNBC to Promote Cap-and-Trade for Financial Gain

No, but MSNBC caters to a far left kook audience and manages to attract a few hundred thousand viewers and at times a million or more. And the other lap dog networks play the same game, only with a little more finesse than MSNBC.
They're playing to a target audience, with some moderate success.
I do appreciate that reporters make themselves available on Twitter for questions, comments, snarks and criticism. Mark Knoller is everyone’s fave for live news reporting. Others expose their bias with some of their tweets.
You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.

I would ask Todd: “Isn’t the MSM afraid that the Republicans will eventually tire of the bias enough to use the antitrust laws to bust up the media oligopoly?”
It get’s better than that, when there is a very serious important event or news happening ? they open up with lame irreverent news like the price of tea in china or stories as filler material to keep any news that would make Obama, or them look bad off the news.

They have been monitoring FR since Kristenn came on board, ask JR for verification.
Better to get one dollar of a receipt than a profit from Newsmax /sarc
I applaud your answers.
Liberal news shows are marketed to people that don’t watch the news or really study politics. And they wonder why they are loosing market share and money??
SALUTE!
That's all this is folks.
Chuck-you Todd should check the NYT best seller list, past and present, and see who appears most on the list. Rush is #1 in talk radio, which the conservatives dominate. And tthe cable channels are dominated by Fox.
Badge of Honor, Kristinn ....
Congrats...
