People really think the DNC runs the news???


ROFL.  Omg, we are soooo fucked.

Unrelated question; Do you think most american media generally leans left or do you think it generally leans right?

I personally like to read up on right and left leaning sites before I really decide on an opinion. This whole fake news thing is kind of funny, merely just a tactic to battle against news outlets that don't report on a pro-right outlook. Though, some left leaning sites are definitely biased ( as well as right), I wouldn't call them fake, it's just not what you wanna hear.

I think it leans whatever way will get it the most views and clicks.

You want the answer to be left, and of course the right would believe that, they play themselves as the victims after all. The problem most people have when they pick a side is that they can't take a step backwards and objectively see all the holes. The problem is if any media outlet brings up any kind of controversy including the GOP then they scream foul, like everyone is against them. These same outlets talked about the shit show Hillary brought along as well. MSNBC, definitely left leaning, but the truth is most outlets just aren't a hard pro right. Even a 100 percent down the center news station would be deemed as a snowflaking cuck libratard cunt station.

Indeed. The so-called "liberal mainstream media" spent three times as much time talking about Hillary's e-mails during the election than they did on all policies from both candidates combined.

Even from an outsiders perspective American media is VERY leftist leaning. I've stopped watching american series' altogether but I really couldn't care much about it. The only thing that really breaks my balls is to see even the movies being injected with liberal ideas like feminism which just ruins a good movie for me.

No doubt in my mind that BBC News here in the UK leans left and it baffles me that people have to pay the TV license fee (which funds the BBC) even when they don't watch any BBC programmes.

I would say most is quite neutral, CNN, NYT, etc.   That is, they simply report the news without any political spin or opininon (unless it is CLEARLY LABELED AS OP ED).  To demonstrate, they simply reported the news about the emails scandal, and about what Trump himself was saying or doing, without putting much if any spin on it.

There is some left, like Huffpo, and some right, like Fox and Breitbart.  I can name half a dozen Right leaning news shows or organizations off the top of my head, so the notion that most media that isn't right leaning is left leaning is just one of those crazy things that right leaning news has been saying for decades.  And, well, I guess their ploy worked.  People now trust mainstream news less than they trust the most dishonest man, quantifiably, who has ever been POTUS.  Most Right leaning Americans now think that anything that ISN'T right must therefore be left; they have caught themselves in false dichotomy.

The truth is Obama was a very centrist or right leaning president on most things.  If he had run in 1980, he would have had to run as a republican.  There is no mainstream left party in America (greens, progressives, etc are not mainstream), and certainly no mainstream hard left news, even Huffpo is within the "normal" range of left, not extreme left.   There IS mainstream hard right news though, quite a lot of it, so if you are asking for a real answer, I would say that if I grouped ALL the big news together and put it on a scale, I would say overall it leans quite hard to the right.

I live in Oregon. I know extreme left people.  My guess is you have no clue who they are or what they represent, if you think the news represents the left.  The right has just tipped sooooo far right that anything short of being crammed into that little corner they have carved out feels unprotected and scary to them.  If Ronald R were alive today, they would laugh him off as a socialist pig.  Most even think Mitt Romney and John McCain are too centrist.  They view centrists as full on left wingers.  

Also, I know I'm just talking to myself here, everything will be like....whooosh.

Edited to add, BBC is a perfect example, thanks Bella!  BBC is centrist, and reports very accurately without opinion spin unless it is labeled as such.  But the right (world over, not just America, I should know better) labels it as leftist.  It's just cuckoo.

It's so hard to find decent publications in the UK.

Centrist?

Have you recently smoked a bunch of crystal meth by any chance? There's nothing centrist about the BBC, it's a leftist propaganda machine that occasionally reports the odd unbiased story every now and then.
