If Convservatives hate the media/news outlets so much
Why does every online news story, no matter how local or trivial have almost nothing but right wing talking points in the comments section?

AND A LOT IN IN ALL CAPS SO YOU KNOW THEY MEAN BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!

1. That the media has a left wing media bent has always been hogwash

2. True
It's just you would think if they hated something so much they would tune it out, yet they get all their info from the MSM they claim to hate so much.

5. Sure we used to have real reporters like Walter Cronkite
who the repukes would say had a "liberal bent" but he was independent and reported facts, and when he did give his own opinion it was called "commentary", and he took on both parties--LBJ on Vietnam and Nixon on Watergate.

3. It's reverse psychology
Like Rush and Hannity, and O'Reilly talking about the liberal media. They know full well that it doesn't exist. But they say that stuff to make sure that this so-called liberal media reports the news the way they want it reported. Media doesn't want to be called liberal, so they shift things towards the right.

Ever notice when Hannity lists the liberal media....he conveniently leaves out ABC? Ummmm...could that be because he was an ABC Radio employee (before they were bought out by Citadel)? And O'Reilly conveniently forgets to mention CBS? Could that be because he does his show for Westwood One which happens to be owned by CBS?
