Biased Hell, They Are Outright Lying

Study Confirms What We’ve Been Saying All Along: CNN, MSNBC Push Biased News

Conservatives have long contended broadcast and cable news networks are biased in their reporting. Those same networks dismiss that claim as baseless.
Now the Media Research Center (MRC) has the data that proves what those on the right knew from experience. The MRC study shows CNN and MSNBC hosts Democratic representatives and senators seven times more frequently than their Republican counterparts.
The study also shows that even when networks like CNN interviews a Republican, they use Democratic talking points as the basis for their questioning.
To compile its report, MRC randomly selected three weeks of every broadcast on CNN and MSNBC in the hours from 6am to Midnight Eastern time. The weeks (January 7-11, March 25-29 and June 10-14) offered 540 hours of programming to consider for the study.
MSNBC was the most partisan where it interviewed congressional Democrats 13 times more than their Republican counterparts. During those sample weeks MSNBC featured 148 Democrats and only 11 Republicans.
CNN wasn’t much better with a ratio of 136 Democrats and 29 Republicans interviewed.
Although Republicans hold the majority in the Senate, 87 percent of interviews by the two networks involved Democrats. Of the 103 interviews considered, 90 were with Democrats and just 10 with Republicans.
This disparity is made worse by the fact mainstream media “journalists” do not conduct equally hard-hitting interviews with both sides. Both CNN and MSNBC routinely ask adversarial questions of Republicans that favor Democratic agenda.
When those networks feature Republican panelist, they are #NeverTrumpers like Bill Crystal.
The methodology used by MRC is that an agenda question was defined as one in which the interviewee used recognizable talking point from the opposing party.
Republican guests were posed with a total of 310 questions in which just over half reflected the agenda of one party or the other. But that is where “fair and balanced” ended. Of those 156 questions that reflected the agenda of one party, 97 percent reflected an adversarial/Democratic agenda. Only four questions showed a friendlier, Republican agenda.
Democrats experienced markedly more hospitable questions. The MRC study showed:
Of 660 questions identified as having a partisan tilt (out of 1,653 total questions), 535 (81%) were based on a friendly Democratic agenda, while the remaining 125 (19%) asked the Democrats to respond to an adversarial/Republican agenda.

The Washington Post ignored these raw numbers by dismissing any suggestion there is proof of bias. When Paul Farhi of the Post asked rhetorically if the media has become more biased, he protested, “there’s little to suggest that over the past few decades news reporting has become more favorable to one party.”
David D’Alessio, a communications sciences professor at the University of Connecticut at Stamford agreed with The Washington Post saying his studies showed something quite different than MRC.
The problem with the professor’s claim is that he drew his conclusion from 99 studies of campaign news coverage done over the last 60 years. MRC, on the other hand, took the time to watch CNN and MSNBC to see what and how they were reporting.
Examples MRC offers of a Democratic agenda question being posed to a Republican are:
  • CNN’s Wolf Blitzer to Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) on The Situation Room, January 7, “The President has largely dismissed concerns about federal workers not receiving their paychecks … Do you believe President Trump understands the financial hardships these Americans and their families are about to go through?”
  • MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki to Congressman Kelly Armstrong (R-ND) on MTP Daily, June 10, “Special Counsel … says there are 10 potential instances here of obstruction of justice involving the President of the United States — if you don’t want impeachment and you are on the Judiciary Committee, what do you do?”
Sometimes this bias can be seen more in what is not reported rather than what is. At the end of Barack Obama’s presidency, USA Today’s editors repeated almost verbatim his claim that his administration had been scandal-free.
The mainstream media was largely silent about what they should have seen as major scandals. NBC’s Tom Brokaw glibly repeated Obama’s scandal-free talking points despite the investigation into the ATF’s Fast and Furious program and Republican investigations into the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups.
A 2018 Axios poll revealed that 92 percent of Republicans believe the media intentionally reports false stories. Perhaps that’s because CNN and MSNBC have done their best to prove them right.

Maybe Getting A Gun Is Not That Easy!

REPORTER TRIES TO SHOW HOW EASY IT IS TO BUY GUNS AT WALMART – FAILS BACKGROUND CHECK!

Mission abandoned after reporter encounters numerous complications

Reporter Tries to Show How Easy it is to Buy Guns At Walmart – Fails Background Check!
IMAGE CREDITS: BUSINESS INSIDER, HAYLEY PETERSON.
A reporter who attempted to prove it’s far too easy to obtain a firearm in America instead managed to prove the opposite.
Business Insider reporter Hayley Peterson was on a mission to buy a gun from Walmart, but she ultimately failed to do so.
“I went to Walmart with the intention of buying a gun last week as part of an investigation into the placement, selection, marketing, and security of firearms in Walmart’s stores, and to learn more about the retailer’s processes governing gun sales,” Peterson wrote.
“My journey to bring a gun home from Walmart turned out to be far more complicated than I expected.”
The complications started immediately when Peterson tried to figure out which Walmart locations actually sell firearms.
“I searched Walmart.com and Google on August 13 to find out which of the 10 Walmart stores near me sold guns, and I failed to come up with any definitive answers,” she wrote.
After calling several Walmart stores, she was directed to a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives website which lists firearm retailers.
She next tried to visit the Walmart Supercenter in Chesterfield, Virginia, which sold guns, however she was again foiled when a manager told her the employee in charge of selling the guns would not be in for another two days:
“After a few minutes, a Walmart manager arrived at the gun-sales counter. She said I could not buy a gun that day because no authorized firearm sellers were scheduled to work.”
After leaving the store empty-handed, she tried again two days later, traveling thirty minutes to the store, and met with the employee in charge of firearm sales.
As she filled out the National Instant Criminal Background Check System paperwork, Peterson was informed she’d be unable to buy a gun because her address did not match the one on her driver’s license.
Thwarted multiple times, Peterson finally gave up and admitted it’s harder to purchase a gun than she previously thought.
“Overall, the experience left me with the impression that buying a gun at Walmart is more complicated than I expected, and that Walmart takes gun sales and security pretty seriously.”
Peterson’s efforts come as Walmart has faced calls to stop selling guns due to a shooting in El Paso earlier this month that left 22 dead.

After Doing Nothing Productive, He Cashes In!

After Years Denouncing 'Excessive' Wealth, Obamas Buying $15 Million Martha's Vineyard Estate

Obamas Catch Flak for Mind-Blowing Purchase

Looks like he’s at that point where he’s made enough money.
Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States, is on his way to becoming a major landowner on the exclusive island of Martha’s Vineyard, TMZ reported Thursday.
And all for less than $15 million!
The last Democratic president, famous for socialistic declarations like, “I do think, at some point you’ve made enough money,” has put money in escrow to purchase an estate of almost 30 beachfront acres on the playground of the rich and influential off the coast of Massachusetts, according to TMZ.
The property, currently owned by Boston Celtics owner (is that the right word now?) Wyc Grousbeck, lists for $14,850,000, according to TMZ, though sources told the celebrity website that the Obamas aren’t paying that much.

But whatever the price really is, it’s a buy fit for a king.
“The estate — incredible. It’s 29 beachfront acres. The main residence is just shy of 6,900 square feet. It has 7 bedrooms, so Sasha and Malia have a place to crash, along with several of their friends,” TMZ reported.
“It has the obligatory pool, an outdoor fireplace, a chef’s kitchen, vaulted ceilings and 2 guest wings. It has incredible views, especially while soaking in the second-floor balcony Jacuzzi.”
Not bad at all for a former community organizer who spent his political career flailing at the wealthy, and insulting those trying to earn their way to wealth by proclaiming they “didn’t build” their own businesses.

Are most Democrats hypocrites when it comes to wealth?

In fact, someone might get the impression that the Obama is pretty fond of the high life.
A guy who spent eight years more or less telling Americans that their country’s best years are in the past, and presiding over a chronically lousy economy, is clearly looking forward to pretty comfortable future for himself and his bride.
It might not come as a surprise, though, that word of the Obamas’ plans to live among the “one percent” that were so vilified during his administration didn’t go over well on social media at all.

That last one nailed it.
Americans can despise incompetence in a leader, but at least it’s forgivable.
Hypocrisy is not. And it was always one of the Obamas’ most undeniable characteristic — whether it was preaching about gun control while being surrounded by armed guards or accusing their fellow Americans of racism while fanning the flames of racial hatred themselves (“if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”), Barack and Michelle Obama spent two terms in the White House putting down their countrymen to raise themselves up.
The only thing more shameful than Obama’s maladministration was the mainstream media’s disgraceful, relentless cheerleading for it.
And now, a plush property beckons on Martha’s Vineyard.
He’s made enough money all right. And the rest of the country is still paying for it.
