the big lie "the media is liberal"

again if the media had any real liberal owners this would be out there all over. as we know her claim of her son beating on a female she attributed to his war activities in Iraq. You would think a mother would know if her son was in action before she spouts out blatant lies. And it is amazing the media puts her words all over, but here we find her son was NOT a combat vet. And what does the media do with it, well nothing. A real liberal would plaster that liar all over the front pages till she apologize to all the real vets who actually saw action and do have some issues that will last a lifetime.

where is that liberal media when you need one... our media is the best that the 1% can afford to own.

can you imagine if it was a liberal doing this... it would be all over the media for months, where these are barely a blip in the major media. note again the RNC did not stand out and condem and ask racists to leave their party. The RNC base is the racists...

It's sixteen minutes into the ABC GOP debate, and all we've seen so far is endless commercials and a few snide comments about Trump. The candidates are not even on stage yet. The first question starts with "Mr. Trump, Sen Cruz said something negative about you ..."

Fox debates? 6:01 PM and the RELEVANT questions are flying.

It's easy to see which networks consider this and their viewers important.

I have to say that in the opening minutes of the Republican debate, it seemed that ABC was trying hard to be much like Fox News. Things got ugly quickly, but listening to the Republican candidates, they had no real intent to tone things down amongst each other, or about President Obama or Hillary Clinton. Strangely though, Bernie Sanders' candidacy seemed to be out of the picture. Why is that?

Watching all the Republican candidates after the debate, it morphed from the candidates interacting together, to the upbeat family display.

Did you check out Trump? After patting candidates and media folks on the back, he was one of the first to leave the stage. Yet, he ultimately came back with his youthful wife in tow. Watching them together on stage was quite revealing. She was absolutely stunning and focused, but Trump didn't even seem to notice. Trump is like a king.

From the NYP at
http://nypost.com/2016/02/10/hillary-blackmailed-media-to-get-positive-coverage-report/ comes this story:
Hillary Clinton’s high-powered press operation “blackmailed” reporters by promising perks in exchange for flattering coverage, according to a report Tuesday. Using the Freedom of Information Act, Gawker obtained an exchange of emails between Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines and Marc Ambinder, a writer for The Atlantic magazine, that demonstrated how the process worked.

Ambinder asked Reines on July 15, 2009, for an advance copy of a speech Clinton was to deliver at the Council on Foreign Relations. Reines returned a three-word reply saying he’d supply the speech — with these conditions:
1) You in your own voice describe them [Clinton’s remarks] as ‘muscular’
2) You note that a look at the CFR seating plan shows that all the envoys — from Holbrooke to Mitchell to Ross — will be arrayed in front of her, which in your own clever way you can say [is] certainly not a coincidence and meant to convey something.
3) You don’t say you were blackmailed!”

Ambinder delivered the gushing story Reines wanted after getting the speech early to scoop rivals.

Ambinder told Gawker he regretted cutting the deal.

Emails also revealed that Reines gave then-ABC News reporter Dana Hughes video showing that a reported bee attack on Clinton in Malawi was bogus.

“One more thing since I’m giving you this gift . . . add a line taking a small poke at ‘BuzzFeed and others’ for getting this wrong,” he wrote.

“I don’t have a problem with that at all,” Hughes answered."

OTOH, here's a recent front page on Trump:

No media bias there.
