There is a clear bias in the media. Even liberals/democrats should be able to admit this.

Illegal immigration is down
Unemployment is at 16 year lows
Etc
You know most of that list if not all isn't changed by an administration in a handful of months.

Trump's accusation about the mainstream media seems to be true #FakeNews

In my opinion, it is delegitimizing the mainstream media, specifically CNN/NBC

When one is standing far left, everything appears "right wing" of you.


Only a liberal would have such a bizarre misinterpretation of the blatant bias of the media.

The Left also believes in the Tooth Fairy, and that you can get something for nothing, and everything is "FREE". Delusional.

Holy cow, this post is a classic example of Right-wing spin.

NOWHERE in the article does it say Fox News is balanced. NOWHERE.

You basically took something and completely changed its meaning to justify the right-wing bias.

Trump will be proud.

I agree. If one reads the original source, which I linked to, one will see that the authors made no claim as to whether any network was 'balanced'.

I'm sure the press coverage of Bernie Madoff was also overwhelmingly negative.

Comparing Madoff to the same level as Trump, proves the point that the mainstream media is no longer objective or honest.

Wow, twisting reality with your headline, no?

Just because some networks have negative coverage of somebody, does not mean they aren't "balanced." It may just be that the person they are covering really, truly is a moron who deserves every bit of scorn he receives. If networks have negative coverage of a moron, they're just being honest. If any network has negative or even just 50-50 coverage of a moron, THEY are the ones who are actually unbalanced.
