This news article sums it up on media bias. Hillary was drawn to bill for love of country. She was part of the Clinton arrival from the heavens... yes, they wrote that in this article... Lots of photos if you don't read.

Lack of any real, in-depth, intelligent, fully-researched information from the mainstream media is what really bothers me, much more than any potential biases, even. That's the problem for virtually ANY news source, presently. Everything is sensationalist sound bites, which continues to create unwarranted partisan divides and twisted "truths." The media mis-educates people and makes every issue both more black and white than it really is, and more divisive than it really is. It's easy to convince people in one sway or another when you refuse to give them the full story and, instead, attempt to shock them at every turn. It's a colossal shame.

How about just basic honesty?
Ethics and honesty all down the drain decades ago.
This is something I've said before on the forum, but more disturbing to me than the liberal bias is media's greater concern with prophet margins than their concern with journalism. The beauty of this is that it's a criticism that goes beyond partisan politics. Any Democrats will scold Fox for it's obvious and unapologetic conservative bias, but dismiss the fact that CNN clearly favors Hillary Clinton in regards to how they report the election.
This criticism include bias in it as well. The corporations that own these media outlets will look for a profitable target demographic, notice that they like having their views confirmed, then do everything they can to get more people to agree with the views being reported on which increase prophets in the long run.
As to why most MSM is somewhere on the left, I don't know. Liberal values are frankly an easier sell than conservative ones. However, it's fully possible to sell a conservative argument without using a particularly thoughtful reason. Regardless, we should have a problem with media bias and I feel the only truly effective way to combat it to target their wallets.
Media: There is no proof that Obama was born in Kenya.
Wing nuts: Lies!! Liberal bias!!!
Fox News: We have heard from our sources' friends' distant relative that a Kenyan nurse, whom we cannot locate, said that she delivered Obama while he was in Kenya. We have a photo of the delivery proving everything we are saying is true but we will not release the photo because our staff is still photoshopping it.... er I mean it's still in the process of being verified.
Wing nuts: OMG!! Why aren't the MSM reporting it???!! The MSM are so biased!!!

Do you realize that the majority of conservatives are not birthers?
You won't feel anything until Hillary starts handing out free college and mortgages. Then you'll start to feel warm and fuzzy inside 🐱
Free college and mortgages?
Mortgages? To whom?
