So you only trusted wiki-leaks when they were releasing factual evidence that harmed the Bush administration, But now that they are releasing factual evidence of Hilliary and the DNC's corruption you chose not to believe it.

Wiki-leaks is not a news source they merely obtain information that corrupt politicians would prefer to be kept secret, and leak it out to the free people of the world.
I can were liberals would find that offensive.

I'll grant you that Trump thinks any publicity is good publicity. But Clinton's use of the media is as devious--getting questions in advance (sorry you weren't included, Bernie), speaking mainly to reporters who has her campaign review their stories before being published, calling journalists that ask hard questions "dicks" (you're probably the only one at CNN that's impartial, Jake Tapper). Want me to go on?

Definition of partisan hack--any reporter that fails to present both sides of a story. And most reporters are.

You are right. I am going to start by boycotting Fox News for the all the lies it reports as news and its blatant promotion of the Republican Party. I will also boycott all talk radio as it is a market completely dominated by lunatics.

DP, what are you talking about? Kristol hates Trump, thinks he is a disgrace, may even be a #neverTrump-er and Peltz donated to both Trump and the DNC. The media has proven itself to be the basket of deplorables in this election.

It's been eye opening how corrupt and biased the msm has been. As soon as a guest starts talking about something the msm has been supressing, the cut them off. The latest from Brett Hume...If it weren't so pathetic, it would be comical.

No reason to wait until after the election. Many of us have stopped listening to them or taking their word for anything years ago. They have betrayed their right to the first amendment protections given so they could be the watchdog for the people. They have chosen to be the lapdog of liberals.

Lost trust in them 20 years ago. Love the NY Times layoffs to come. Journalism is now a dying career choice, caused by journalists.

Media bias was exposed a long time ago. The only people who don't see media bias are the ones who are supporting who the media props up. In 2012, the media bias was clearly blatant, but people didn't notice because the media bias was not trashing their candidate. In 2008, the media was colossally biased but again, many didn't notice because it wasn't trashing their candidate. In 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992, etc the media was bias.

Dan Rather...it was bloggers that caused his job loss. A blog that was, at the time, right wing, called 'Little Green Footballs', is the one that brought the lies about the so called letter to the public because the media was totally biased.

(By the way, that was back when bloggers took their craft seriously. Now people throw a blog up on the internet, use click bait titles to get people to read, and they rake in money off of advertising...blogging is not what it used to be.)

Brian whatshisface...Williams and his Iraq war lies...

Seriously, the only time people wake up and see it is when it's their own being dragged through the mud by the lying media. The media in this country has been a propaganda arm for the US government for a long, long, long time. A LONG time.

No one should trust the media. It's why people like Assange are getting all kinds of attention. Assange doesn't write those emails, he simply leaks them. Wikileaks has a 10 year track record of complete truth. Not a single time in 10 years has anything they put out been false.

The people who cry about this, pretending that there is no bias, are utter morons who shouldn't even be allowed to make decisions because they are too stupid, and will undoubtedly bring problems on to other people with their idiotic choices.

It's time that the media gets a serious overhaul. We can start by not paying them millions a year. We can then go in to the schools and start teaching ethics....and while there, maybe they stop telling females to talk like they have a stick shoved up their backside while reporting. Seriously. Listen to reporters on scene, they ALL talk the same way...same nuances, same inflections...God it's annoying.

Are you going to get your news from radical far right wing delusional blogs?
Blah blah blah. You go from talking about renting and home ownership issues to full on, non stop posting about politics over a year AFTER the election season started....it's clear you are being paid. I put paid posters on ignore. Bye.
