Should journalists report facts or alter them for political ideology?

Hello bront:

What's up?

What fact are you suggesting CNN didn't report?? Should they have reported that Biden stood behind a blue podium? Nahh. Should they have reported that Biden waved his arms a lot? Nahh.. Should they have reported that Biden had a touch of makeup on? Nahh..

Should CNN have reported that they enhanced the background color? Nahh.

Take a chill pill, Dude.

What fact are you suggesting CNN didn't report?

Well, ya see Con. Imagine if some "far right nutjob" had Swastikas in the background, but the media edited them out to protect their master from himself... You call that journalism? I didn't think so.

As for the edit, let's add some context. This is the same media that made up COVID numbers, censored the Hunter Biden stories, and told us Russia collusion was bs behind the scenes while telling us it was real on camera. Same media, eh Con? When your media is that dishonest, there's really no point in considering anything they say as real, truthful, unbiased, fact based, not propaganda...

In fact, I haven't believed a word they've said in decades and have been provably and objectively right to have done so probably over 90% of the time. Once you actually see the media is just a commercial enterprise run by the multi billion dollar corporations, everything they say floats right into your brain and then right out of your brain. When the media goes after someone, it means they see that someone as a threat to their pocket book.

•Pro vaccine stories? Big pharma wants that money grab.

•Anti wall stories? Billionaires need cheap labor.

Hey look, it's a video of me. Oh wait. That's Trump. Wa, wa, wait. No. That's Bernie Sanders before being bought off and tasting the fruits of Capitalism. I couldn't tell the difference. My mistake... Amazing isn't it? Good ol Bernie telling us in 2007 that any politician who would allow illegals and guest workers to flood the country has been corrupted by big money interests. Why? To drive down wages and for cheap labor for the billionaires. That's strange. Seeing the Democrats' current immigration philosophy, the billionaires own them fully. According to 2007.... Bernie Sanders...

•Censorship of stories? That story would be troublesome to a billionaire's pocket book somewhere.

The media, which is owned and run by the ultra rich, has no wing. It simply plays to whatever it must to silence opposition or whistle blowers. The media will turn on the left in a heartbeat if it thinks the right is where the money is. For the time being, they believe the money is on the left. They once thought the money was in playing to Christianity, white people and men. Guess what media and TV looked like back then. Not very woke or politically correct, eh Con?

Oh well. It's okay Con. You preached against the billionaires for years, but they're billionaires because they're pretty crafty. They figured out in modern times that if you put a "D" on any work of any kind, it'll pass right through, and their media will get it fully across the finish line. And if anyone gets in their way, all they have to do is put an "R" next to that person, and that person goes away or is destroyed, and the media will play right along as well. This would be why the liberals who stand up against them get labeled "right wing". Bill Maher's right wing? Tulsi Gabbard is right wing? Joe Manchin is right wing? See the game they play Con? They've created an "other" so that they get their way and become richer in every situation. Pretty good scam, eh Con? Imagine it Con. You say something out of liberal principle one day, and the media calls people like you, well... Me...

"•Pro vaccine stories? Big pharma wants that money grab." BrontoLite

Vaccines offer arguable the best benefit per dollar. Big pharmacy doesn't have the best reputation. There are legitimate flaws of big pharm.

For example a lot of research and development is spent on cancer treatment drugs. These drugs are expensive and offer society little good. When malaria still kills a lot of people in the 3rd world.

Yet, this is taking distrust too far into denial territory. Vaccines save lives.

"The seasonal flu vaccine prevented more than 40,000 flu-associated deaths in the United States during a nine year period from 2005-2006 through 2013-2014"

Vaccines reduce transmissions, hospitalizations, and deaths.

Supporting Evidence: Flu vaccine saves lives. (www.cdc.gov)

That's not the only thing they can do, eh Cotton? They can censor, use propaganda, lie, demonize doctors and/or scientists, make up stories, libel, slander. Hell, they can do a hundred things other than "examine facts to help informed decision making"...

This is the same media that censored the inventor of most vaccines including the flu vaccine. Only one reason that happens. Big pharma owns your media, and the inventor was in the way of those big boy checks... "Journalists", who clearly aren't Biologists, are telling us the inventor of mRna vaccines is spreading "unfounded claims". Unfounded claims? The guy knows more about vaccines than anyone on Earth. Probably why he risked his reputation and being slandered to speak out. But, big pharma and it's big pharma media wins again. Chalk it up to clever billionaires to convince the poor to give them their last dime...

Ah yes. These are the same types of people who convinced slaves in the 1800s that they weren't actually slaves. Oh well. They stamped a "D" on it for Democrat, so it gets to pass... But these people are anything but liberal. They're allegiance is to no one. Sleep well...

Your link talks about the notorious crank Robert Malone. Please check these two websites before spreading misinformation.

Malone is not the inventor of mRna vaccines.

Facts above everything else. Why alter it? What agenda will be behind that? Reporters are supposed to give the truth not make up sick fantasies that twist the truth up to confuse the public audience.

Well, there are many cliche's which describe this type of journalistic weakness of air-brushing the facts to enhance the status of a politician or politicians and/or a political ideology.

One such cliche' is;- ''Never let the truth get in the way of a good story''.

The ''world and his wife'' are fully aware of the left-wing bias of the American main stream media and their manipulative editing of THE IMBECILE'S word salads and gaffs.

It's been many a long year since the United States has had an impartial media publishing or broadcasting news factually and without prejudice.
