Whenver i discuss politics with Republicans, they claim i am brainwashed by "mainstream media" and that i don't know the real truth. If all the network news outlets, print media, cable news are colluding to keep the real truth from us, then Where from do Republicans get their news? When i ask i never get a straight answer. Do they all have a secret news outlet? Is it published outside of US somewhere?

I agree one needs to read carefully the actual news reporting and seperate facts from opinion to understand the real issues. too much MSNBC or FOX can muddle your brain. But i don't know what other source one can turn to other than main stream media if you want to understand what is going on. Is WSJ main stream media or not? While i abhor their editorials i find the actual news reporting is excellent.

Non-mainstream media - blogs, forums, youtube, etc.? Mainstream is fine as long as you can spot the bias when you see it.

Default Media "bias" against GOP

Reality is biased against the current mutation of the GOP.

The media are large, profit-driven corporations. Pubs love to point their fingers at them and claim liberal bias. It works with their low information followers.

How can the Media be biased against the GOP when the Republican billionaires own the media?

Do you really belive blogs and forums are the best way to get informed? Is bias just what you disagree with?

It's one of many sources. Not the end all be all.

So did you read the article? What in it is incorrect?

One of the right wing's go-to tactics for duping weak-minded sycophants into buying their bs is their claim of liberal media bias. How better to keep their voting base from rethinking their support for such antisocial and immoral policy perspectives?
