Here is CNN's Republican bias in a nutshell ...

[KelleyKramer]

This is the perfect example of how CNN promotes Republicans and attacks Democrats .....

Left: After 330,000 jobs are added under Biden

Right: After 178,000 jobs are added under Trump

1. CNN speaks for its billionaires

Biden’s great jobs report is bad for them as workers regain some balance.
Remember the words of that OZ billionaire caught on tape.

[AZ8theist]

38. Well, at least CNN got Trumps picture correct on the right side image...

[malaise]

39. LOL

[joshdawg]

2. Showing off Conservative Network News' bias?

Shocker!

In case it's needed

[SouthernDem4ever]

3. CNN swirled down the toilet

I never even stop on the channel.

4. Business. Any American media reporting on busines tows the Capitalist line to manipulate

consumers.

It’s what they are paid to do by the many billions spent on ads…same with politics…ads and money and American media landscape is owned by Oligartha…not on our side. Never were.

Too many jobs is bad for business!! Too much power to the people!!??..,so the propaganda begins again..it’s the same propaganda since the first dollar bill was minted.

And Americans are so easily and willingly manipulated,,,,giant white balloon, Niger yellow cake…China is a great military rival…Bengazhi…guns keep you safe…Trump…Gulf of Tonkin…trillion per year for military expenses is ok as coups are ok…,?…it never ends.

[SouthernDem4ever]

6. But in the old days, they at least tried to pretend to be

Journalism used to be a profession with a mission. Now it's billionaires trying to keep their power and money.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

8. American corporate media is leading the nation into another coup attempt, not republicans.

Republicans are the instrument. Isn’t that clear by now, even as it seems crazy!

The picture is clear enough to me!.

Oligarth Media really feeling its oats after the giant white spy balloon manipulation challenge went so well! The challenge now is to manipulate America into voting for a fascist,,,again!! So far so good!!

[SouthernDem4ever]

9. All for ratings? Or do you think it's just for nefarious reasons?

I guess for some, like the owners of Fux Nooze, it's both.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

10. Ratings? The Big Three and cable don't give a fuck about ratings, up and down they go...

The goal is power over thinking, turning a giant white rudderless ballon into…had to be shot down over the ocean,.,!!?.. into something menacing was a great example on display……it’s also what the ad buyers want to see…can you manipulate the public as you please?

[Dave says]

17. It's never been different

The job of major media is to manufacture consent favorable and useful for the oligarchs.

Want it to be different? Buy your own media. What? Don’t have a few spare billions? Then, starting in the primaries, cultivate candidates that will fight for fairness in media.

Yes - in our lifetimes it will require expanding the courts.

5. Some of the same people who have stock in CNN

have stock in MSNBC.

Vanguard, BlackRock.

[SouthernDem4ever]

7. Wall St will always be Wall St

[peppertree]

25. And they don't want a president; they want a puppet.

They're a lot like their own kids:

Rich, spoiled brats who prefer being with Uncle Fester because they can get away with anything - with Uncle Fester, more often than not, joining in on the hijinks himself.

Of course, though - then come the drug rehab bills...

11. The media really hate President Biden

He is too boring and normal while they made a fortune under Trump, as he destroyed the country.

[Dave says]

18. I think they hate President Biden

Because of his Main Street bias (as opposed to Wall Street). His desire to build from the bottom, up, and middle out.

Cancelling student debt at a cost of $800 billion? No way! Where does the money come from? Bad President. Reducing taxes mostly for the rich at a cost of $1.7 trillion? Think of all the yachts and luxury cars we can buy! Good President.

It’s not conspiratorial, it’s just that the apple does not fall far from the tree. Mostly super rich own massive shares in major media. They support election of chairman of the board who share their worldview. The chairman hires a Managing Editor who also shares this view. The ME hired editors who don’t stray far. The editors hire journalists who also don’t stray far. Thus Biden bad, Trump good.

[calimary]

33. I think you've nailed it, my friend.

[CentralMass]

43. This..

[shrike3]

42. I noticed that a while ago.

A WH reporter quoted anonymously said he "loved covering Trump. Every day, something new." IOW, too lazy to do real reporting, loved having the daily outrage spoon fed to him.

[JohnSJ]

12. I have not seen the MSM mentioning the recent OPEC increases in oil prices as a significant

cause for the recent price increases.

The price of energy will effect prices overall, and to not even mention that, is puzzling

[Boomerproud]

13. The byline under the tfg headline says it all.

14. They're still all in a group tizz about inflation and interest rates.

Most of these scribblers are youngsters who think 3% mortgages are normal and forget that was due to the Feds incredibly lose monetary policy following the financial meltdown and subsequent long slump. Until then, 6 to 8% was the norm since Volker tamed the Great Inflation in the late 70's / early 80's. They came of age in an aberration and think it's normal. That applies to many in the financial markets as well.

Moderate inflation is a good thing. It's the sign of a growing, healthy economy. The 2% target isn't a magic number and some at the Fed admit that might not be the optimal level. But scribblers and some Wall Street types alike came of age in a time of very low inflation driven mainly by an economy trying to get out of the Great Recession. They simply don't know any better. They go on and on about the supply chain driven spike from the Covid recovery that has mostly worked itself out and we're now at a healthy rate of inflation since early 2023....around 3ish %.

Add that to their other biases, false equivalences and general myopic reporting and you get this kind of disconnect. It's not just bias. They're quite lazy and not that smart. Thinking and context are hard so they'd rather run with the flock. It's just easier that way. Ugh.

[Dave says]

19. All good points, great post

[spanone]

15. CNN had that headline on their website most of yesterday.

FUCK THEM.

[doc03]

16. I have never seen a time when even with a booming

economy there are editorials everyday about the "coming recession". Every day I hear ads saying "due to a decline in the economy" and
"during these hard times". We have record low unemployment and every day I hear "Nobody wants to work".

[Martin68]

20. Sickening.

[StoolPigeon]

21. CN Who?

[flying_wahini]

22. It's not just the number of jobs but what it pays. Wages are too low and the Magas are too thick

to realize it effects THEM.

If Biden manages to get the minimum wage raised to $20 then it will matter.
Maybe his next term they will do that.

[republianmushroom]

23. Yup, bias as hell.

[Pathwalker]

24. K&R

[tiredtoo]

26. All msm leans to the right. The oligarchs who own them insist. EOM

[Lunabell]

27. Corporate oligarchs want rethuglicans to win.

Even if it means losing democracy. They don't care. They are all greedy malignant narcissists, just one step from being sociopathic serial killers.

[KS Toronado]

28. Did P01135809 wipe the lipstick off his MAGAt on the right?

[wryter2000]

29. Is there no way to shame them? n/t

[NowISeetheLight]

30. Messiah

You can bet if Trump added 330k+ jobs they'd be comparing him to Jesus or something.

[orleans]

31. i turned cnn on recently

didn't know the show or the people yapping around the table but i was shocked at the republican bullshit they were spewing! they sounded like fucking fox!

i turned that shit off shortly after that.

[senseandsensibility]

32. Thank you for posting. I post a lot about this too

and receive some criticism for it. But they are handing the election to cheato and we need to speak up. If DUers don't watch and don't want to hear about CNN's coverage, fine. Ignore the threads. But CNN is complicit in influencing Biden's bad poll numbers and ignoring their skewed coverage will get us nowhere. I did a lot of ignoring in 2016 and we see where that attitude got us. I think we should all be screaming about this.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

34. Biden isn't ignoring the coverage, or lack of,...the oligarth media ignores that too.

Full frontal persuasion needed!! Strip the veneer!

[senseandsensibility]

35. They will ignore anything that benefits Dems

but if every Dem who appeared on their shows brought up the skewed coverage it would be a little more difficult for them to ignore. Unity of message is our only answer.

[Baitball Blogger]

36. FuhhkinA

[mahina]

37. Precisely.

No w what to do about it? DU postcard campaign?

[magasnightmare]

40. Here is CNN's Republican bias in a nutshell ...

This is why we need to press our elected democrats to pass legislation to rein in the media. Enough with this right wing propaganda and misinformation! We need to give the government more control over what’s said in the media because it’s entirely too dangerous to allow these people to spread obvious falsehoods and misinformation.

[progressoid]

41. Meanwhile RW pundits bloviate about the media being left wing.
