Mainstream Media Admit Anti-Trump Bias, Say It's Necessary

Truth Revolt ^ | 8.29.2016 | Tiffany Gabbay

Some, like former Republican primary candidate Newt Gingrich, have assailed the mainstream media in the past for their decidedly left-leaning bias, but no other presidential candidate has really taken the media to task like Donald Trump.

From personally insulting certain journalists to revoking major media outlets' press credentials to calling reporters "liars," Trump has stood up for himself in a way no other Republican really ever has.

Has Trump, through his words and deeds, at times given media fodder for its negative press? Yes. But more often than not mainstream media have acted beyond the pale in their utter disregard for genuinely newsworthy events surrounding Hillary Clinton and their utter manipulation and fabrication of stories designed to derail the GOP nominee.

Now, MSM members are not only admitting to their anti-Trump bias, but say they view it as their "moral" obligation to do so.

The media people are nothing but paid liars. They do not even pretend to be honest.

[Red Badger]

They should all be charged with illegal contributions to a political campaign......................

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Members of the media wouldn’t know or understand a “moral obligation” if one was shoved up their...

[Steely Tom]

Yeah, It’s Necessary because he might beat their candidate.

[KSCITYBOY]

True!

[TigersEye]

They consider it necessary only because they have an agenda.
That is not journalism it's propaganda.

The MSM are enemies of the people!

The agenda is to destroy the founding principles of America.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Yes it is necessary for them to keep writing, and reporting this propaganda so that they can please there bosses and keep their jobs. They are nothing more than paid propagandists.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Trump needs to go after the Big Six media conglomerates with antitrust law, and break them up into itty bitty pieces.

Most of these Journ-O-Lists will be lining up for jobs at Jack In The Box.

Especially Comcast and Time Warner

The mainstream media is a lot like Clinton.  It is confused, often loses it's train of thought mid comment, and is going down on election day this year.

Never again will we look at them with chagrin at how bad it/she have gotten.  Instead we'll just accept that they no longer exist in 'the real world', as they shuffle off down the road into the political afterlife they so richly deserves.

“I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as little more than spies, which, in truth, they are. If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting press dispatches from Hell before breakfast.” William Tecumseh Sherman

He should be able to establish some collusion, after all of the reports on his RNC speech ALL said his message was DARK.

I think what most people miss is the underlying ideology of the leftist in the media. As hardcore leftist it is “their duty” to shape the news to benefit leftist candidates. In their minds it is totally moral and not to do so would be immoral. It is all for the “GREATER GOOD.”

I must add the following did this for the “greater good.”

HITLER a Nazi, Nazi is Nation Socialist Democratic Workers Party, he was not really good at killing, only about 20 million dead. He killed few million of his countrymen but was quite adept at killing others.

LENNIN AND STALIN, these guys were really good, 62 million of their own countrymen. They were good at killing but not as good as Mao.

MAO OF CHINA, he is the all time winner in total of deaths, he clocked in at 76 million of his own countrymen

POL POT of Cambodia, He was really good, Although he killed only 1.5 million it was 25% of the population.

Thus Mao is the winner in numbers, Pol Pot is the winner by percentage.

The common thread of all these mass murders is socialism and communism.

[Honorary Serb]

“Moral obligation”, indeed!!!!

Then why don’t you refuse to cover Hillary—WHO WANTS WAR WITH RUSSIA!!!!! I can think of nothing more dangerous than that!!!!

And why do all you “journos” treat islam as a legitimate religion, when it wants world conquest and commits mass murder, mass rape, and mass oppression?

All you left-wing journos and your cracked publications are WORTHLESS and POISONOUS!!!!

I hope the there is a surprise YUGE Trump victory in November, that no one expected because of your refusal to cover the trump campaign fairly!!!!

Maximum PHOOEY to all of you!!!!

[SaraJohnson]

It amounts to a campaign contribution to Hillary’s campaign. Is that legal. Do they have to report the contribution?

[YogicCowboy]

Translation:

Pretending to be above partisanship while pushing our communist agenda down your throats used to get you losers to do what we want; now that you’ve become a bunch of unbridled brats, we have to come out of the (barely closed) closet to shove you back in line!

[clearcarbon]

Like the boy who cried wolf, it must really suck for the LMSM that it can no longer reach Trump supporters.

[Engedi]

It was necessary with Bush, Romney, McCain, Palin. Necessary always for R’s but never Democrats.
