CNN’s Dylan Byers Admits: The Media Has ‘Not Told the Story of Conservative Americans’
Mediate ^ | 05/27/2017 | Matthew Balan

CNN’s Dylan Byers refreshingly acknowledged early on Friday morning that the mainstream media has an implicit slant towards the left.

“On occasion, more than the media would probably like to admit, we have not told the story of conservative Americans — disenfranchised Americans — who believe that they are losing their country,” Byers said, in a segment first flagged by The Right Scoop. “The story we have largely been telling is a story that is more or less in step with the arc of history as defined by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.”

The CNN senior media reporter continued with a qualifier: “That doesn’t mean we favor them to win. It just means that that sort of vision of a progressive future — a global future — and that is not one that resonates with so many conservative American voters.”

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

Enabling, parent companies writing the paychecks: Disney, Comcast, Time Warner, CBS.

The last thing American conservatives want is for CNN to tell our story. We’ll tell it ourselves.

CNN has always been a leftist network..go back to their coverage of the Israel/Gaza conflict back in 2006 they called Israel every hateful name in the book..that is why no one in Israel watches CNN

“We mostly just talk about the losing side, and pretend that it is really the winning side. But that doesn’t mean we are biased in their favor ...”

Well, YEAH.....like about for the last 5 decades or so

It’s like the white middle class doesnt exist. Screwed out of jobs, promotions and admisssions by “affirmative action”. Paying taxes out the Wazoo. Getting the Sec 8 housing projects placed in their neighborhoods

Im just disappointed they didn’t wake up about this ALOT sooner. Like back in the 60s and 70s, to put an end to this crap before it got too far off the ground.

Every once in awhile someone in the liberal media makes a comment like this, or writes an op-ed saying something, and that’s apparently supposed to prove their overall objectivity.

And how about airing not just the “stories” of conservatives, but our views?

I have never met a leftist, or seen one in various media, who could actually articulate what conservatives believe.

They are so busy characterizing us, calling us names, accusing us of things that aren’t remotely accurate (like wanting old people and poor people to die), that they never bothered to formulate a logical coherent argument.

Meanwhile, they love every totalitarian thug except Hitler, and they only disparage him because he broke the pact with Stalin.

The truth is, you can’t be a leftist on any level and logically claim to be one of history’s good people.

Or maybe a major boycott coming on. Does USAA advertise with them too?

...disenfranchised Americans — who believe that they are losing their country,”

I don't think I'm 'losing' my country - I think scamming democrat liars and their scammer buddies in the MSM are stealing it from me. AND I'm fight back...

Other than that the MSM's NOT fair to conservatives, one hopes Dylan Byers will soon acknowledge water is wet and the sun comes up in the East...

OAN just did an extensive review of all the suspicions around Seth Rich’s death. They are the only network now that is “unafraid” It was excellent.
