The liberal media is to blame for this too. Nazi propagandist Joe Goebbels said, “A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.” Hearst (one of the nation’s largest diversified media), one said, "You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war.” The viewers of the liberal media are lied to so much they believe what their told is the truth, they are furnishing the war.

The power of the media over how people think cannot be overestimated.

Yes it can be overestimated and it is daily by conservatives

LOL, I don't watch either left or right. Funny thing, there's this thing called the internet and my knowledge of history. I took interest in history when my uncles served in WWII, one a navigator, the other seeing battle in the South Pacific, one bringing a war bride (aunt Pearl) home from the UK and by reading I don't need to be told what to think, thank you . I also understand what yellow journalism is. There was a time I listened to the left but now I just shake my head in disgust. They think people are stupid and easily manipulated. They're offensive to you, to all of us, and you don't know it actually.

Yes, and the fossil fuel industry has done a great job with its public disinformation campaign to get maybe 35% of the country to reject climate change and all of the science behind it.

I never thought the once respectable Republican Party is now anti-science, anti-university research and pro-ignorance. It's both alarming and sad.

Liberal media overwhelms conservative media. CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, NYT and pretty much every city newspaper in the country are all liberal. If anything, FOX helps keep it from being all-liberal.

Seriously, climate change? If you can stop climate change please at least make my area in the mid 80's all year round. We had a horrible summer, probably 5 days max above 85 degrees. Mostly high 70's

I think that of the Alex Jones, Brietbart Zerohedge, Hanity, Limbaugh, clan. (They are offensive and play down to their audience as if their audience isn't able to handle a high level of journalism, entertainment, information).

What is the "Left"? I don't rate by Journalistic quality by Right and Left.

Bias is easy to see when you read articles from a diverse set of sources - easier than ever to do with the Internet. Bias is not black and white nor Right and Left.

When a conservatives sees the headline in a MSM media source.

"Trump tweets attack on CNN." -- they think... -- Oh look the left MSM is going after Trump and tweeting -- how stupid...it isn't news.

When a conservative sees the headline CNN ATTACKS TRUMP on Brietbart because of the above headline on CNN, a conservative goes -- see I told you so.

THank you -- thank you very much.
