How Today's Media Bias Works



The Administration Claimed A Video, Not Preplanned Terrorism, Was Responsible for the Benghazi Attack for 12 Days -- Ace Of Spades

If you haven't seen this -- or emailed it to others -- then watch it, and then email it to others.

Especially noteworthy is Ayaman Al-Zawahiri, the current "Spiritual Leader" of Al Qaeda, calling for vengeance in Libya for the death of one of its operatives there, just days before the vengeance occurred.

And the administration didn't evacuate the embassy, or send Marines, or even give it security more effective than door locks.

Krauthammer calls out his liberal colleagues, including Nina Totenberg and Mark Sheids, to their faces, and Nina Totenberg literally chuckles it off.

Let me explain why this is different than previous bias.

My Comment: Ace of Spades nails it on how dysfunctional and bias the U.S. media has become in this post.

I first started following/watching/and reading U.S. news reports when Ronald Reagan was running for President in 1980. At that time I could not believe how horrible and bias the media coverage was .... but what saved Ronald Reagan's run for the Presidency was not only his ability to talk over the "talking heads", but double digit unemployment, double digit interest rates, and double digit inflation .... a perfect storm to defeat an incumbent.

In today's main stream media world the media is functioning not only with the same bias, but they are now deliberately avoiding and/or not reporting on key news stories. The Benghazi story is one of these stories, where all the breaking and informative coverage has come from outside the U.S. (i.e. England, Australia, etc.) .... and definitely not from U.S. news sources.

I have been saying for the past few years that 'thank God' for the internet and new media .... as a news junkie and one who craves intel and info .... I would definitely be ill served if I was to rely on these sources. And while I still admire and respect these incredible institutions (i.e. New York Times, Washington Post, the alphabet networks, etc.) .... I do forsee the day when they will only be shells of their former self .... with other news media sources doing the job that we expect a news media company should do.
