I don't think this is the smoking gun y'all think it is.
News is a business. You focus your business on your customers. If your customers are farmers, you focus on farming. If your customers are inner-city blacks, I'm not exactly sure what your focus should be but it certainly isn't bitcoin. Jeebus, I tune it out if it's talking about bitcoin. News is the only group protected in the Bill of Rights.It has a particular obligation to provide the truth and not shape or distort it to meet their obvious political agenda. If only the “news “ was that way. They see no obligation whatsoever. It came off the rails a long while back. Fox did once fill a void back when the old man ran it. Rush is gone with no real heir apparent at the moment and the choices get fewer and fewer.
The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.
What we've learned from history is that we haven't learned from it.

This is why the news media lies to us. Fake news. Problem is they all do this same thing. We have no news any more.

But they are under no obligation to publish ALL the news. I am partly in agreement with hydroxychloroquine issue. But I don't think they should have to post every man bites dog story just in the interest of ensuring they don't get accused of manipulating the news. Let me be clear - do I think the media has been manipulating public opinion? Damned right I do. Do I think that the issues Ivory raised are a smoking gun example of that? No, I don't.

It's all about the bottom line; MONEY. Of course the liberal owner's wants and upper staff will try to appease him/her. Shi$ flows downhill and by the time it gets to the public it piles up pretty fast. I quit watching media news slant years ago. Trump told us about Hydroxy. a long time ago and they've been attacking it ever since. Pharmaceutical companies have skin in the game and it's just an easy way to lobby. Pad the pockets of the media and voila you get your message out and suppress the truth.

What's with you guys and your "smoking gun" euphemism.
All of this information adds up to the manipulation of the news by these fake news media people.It clearly illustrates their dishonesty and their desire to manipulate public opinion.
Their job should be to report the news not shape it or editorialize it under the guise of honest reporting.

I think the suppression of the hydroxychloroquine story was very telling. Fox was following the narrative. THIS!! Segmenting time slots based on viewership interests is just business, marketing 101. They'd be better off segmenting on psychographics than demographics but there's leftists even at fox and they see everything in terms of race. The suppression of hydroxychloriquine was criminal and no doubt cost lives. My Dr wouldn't prescribe it because of all the disinformation he'd heard that it didn't work. Right after Bidet was inaugurated the AMA came out and stated that hydroxychloriquune was effective in early treatment. The dems politicized it and people died. Blood on their hands. Bb

A "news" business is not obligated to publish every available story, or even the stories that might be of highest interest to viewers in general. That business must form its presentation in a way that creates adequate audience and draws adequate advertising income. Who could quarrel with that business approach?
However, if they claim to be a journalistic business publishing the "news", they are deeply obligated to present factual truth about every story they choose to publish. . Sometimes getting down to the "facts" and "truth" is a challenge which consumes time, talent and dollars, but that is the essence of their responsibility. Known ethical standards dictate that they not deviate - they are given certain rights based on that very premise.
This reporter has presented insight indicating that the management of one of these "news" businesses does not emphasize or require attention to facts and the truth in presenting stories. It indicates that the business has an agenda - be it political, social, race-based, whatever - and that management is controlling the degree to which the truth is pursued and reported. Deliberate news manipulation by news business management has made that a huge problem in this country.

The news is biased and slanted and if a reporter steps out of line she/he gets in trouble. Money is involved. It was good to hear some of it spelled out but none of that surprises most of the folks on here. I’m SHOCKED! 😜

Bb Well, im pissed Sean lied and said he is not coercered by Fox, but he and tucker and the others dont cover the Forensic recount. However, FOX was at the forefront presenting Drs such as Smith of Smith Clinics in pushing the efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine, especially Laura Ingraham. If i am remembering incorrectly i would appreciate a Trump supporting Patriot to please inform me of such. I also seem to remember them steadfastly supporting Trump through his blocking of first Chynah flights and then flights from Europe amid the other MSMs portrayal of him as a zenophobe and support of him decrying the stupidity of Cuomo et al of pushing C patients into nursing homes and his ridicule of states blocking fishing and beaches, etc. They supported him in trying to get states to end lockdowns and save the economy and ridiculed the left for allowing riots and blm anarchy as crazy.

Little to no faith in most news sources today. Near all are simply script readers with few if any getting out among the people on the street.

Chinese people are always surprised to find out Americans still watch the news. They say no one watches it in China because they all know it's propaganda.
Although I must admit I still watch Tucker.
