The FCC Commissioner is hiring a CBS “bias monitor" who will report directly to Trump.

This is how state-run media begins.

No, this is how people like you mindlessly parrot something they heard on Instagram. 

This bogus claim was debunked back during the summer:

"This "bias monitor" will not report directly to Trump, but will instead report to the president of Paramount Skydance Corp., Jeff Shell. There is no evidence the ombudsman will be appointed by the FCC."

Well, we know you seek out lies.

Bullshit. Read the last sentence. He established the "Ministry of Truth" to squash good information about Obama's Russia gate scandal. He wanted to hide the FACT that the Russian disinformation came straight from the White House and that it was fabricated on the orders of Barack Obama. 

The FCC, however, has a responsibility to prevent intentionally deceptive reporting. https://www.fcc.gov/broadcast-news-distortion

............. both suffer (suffered) staffers, campaign organizers that refused to 'talk truth to power'. 

In Trump's case it was the correct move

In Biden's it was a disaster that has destroyed the party ........... difficult to quantify the long term effects

The Left has lost it's support .......... arguably even more crucial, the populations trust. 

Biden was a conspiracy ....... 

They are ALL political hacks - the stench is overpowering.

He's suing BBC for $10 billion.

What did you think of the highly edited video that the BBC put out? Do you believe it was good journalism to selectively edit the footage the way they did?

CBS did the same thing with a Kamala Harris interview, except that they edited and spliced the footage in a way that made it look like Harris was giving intelligent responses when the actual video showed otherwise.

Correction: less stupid responses.

Hey @Radiorum , you realize your entire argument for this thread is based on the idea that carney corruptly controls the CBC and can dictate that they drop a story if they're worried trump might react badly, right?

Your argument isn't strong, but i appreciate you're at least owning the fact that the cbc is corruptly controlled by the libs and makes decisions based on their politics and not objective journalism. 

[WestCanMan]

It appears that even CBS has limits to how far they will take lies and slander. Maybe there's hope for CBC

The sitting government has no editorial control over the CBC.

Don't confuse publicly funded media for what Trump is doing in the USA

You don’t even know what he is doing. You are mindlessly parroting garbage you get off Instagram that was debunked months ago.

Sure they do. You just admitted it, the CBC wouldn't cave to an external source without political reason. Your whole story hinges on the idea that the federal liberals have strong influence over the CBC. Otherwise your story makes no sense

And you realize the public organization providing the funding is..... the federal gov't   

Sorry kid without realizing it you've Substantiated what conservatives have been claiming all along, that the CBC is a political entity and not a news entity.   

I was kind of thinking you didn't think that through the whole way before you opened your mouth this time 😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣

I mean hey, I'm not going to disagree with you. I'm just pretty sure that you would disagree with you if you thought it through

Which lie are you talking about then? Be specific. It is lazy and dishonest to generalize about it now. 

These ones you're talking about, you tell me. No kidding you're generalizing.

I said nothing about "sharing" any "misgivings" with anyone here to say that it was some kind of scale they took too far. No, very specific lies are made, that makes them lies. I will call that out. There are many other legitimate honest things to criticize Trump for. 

There is no point where their assertions cross a line other than when they make up crap, that is a lie, I will call that out. 

Call what out?

Oh dear, look who got caught lying again. eyeball   . I'm sure everyone is shocked and now once again you have to spend multiple replies trying to dodge your lies

Seriously, just learned to tell the truth and you won't have to go through nearly as much effort

The one thing that is absolutely consistent about eyeball is that when he paints himself in a corner, and he always does, he will resort to one of two or three coping mechanisms so that he can sleep at night. One of them is pretending he doesn't know what you're talking about and that he never said the things he exactly said.

You're kind of encountering that now. It's just the way he is, lying is a kind of coping mechanism for him and sadly many on the left. Not all, but many

Maybe to you despite it's being explained why. In any case the only effect it seems to have is that it brings out the worst in you people. There's no downside to that, it's like free advertising.

It's not the left's fault you people can't produce more journalism graduates with a right-wing bias.  Maybe you need more universities that cater to right-wingers or something.

The source of the problem is in your statement. Ideally, journalism graduates should come out of school at least knowing that they should do their utmost to be fair and objective. But many of them choose not to do that. What we see on tv is more akin to plain entertainment than simply reporting facts.

Is it any wonder why people have so little trust in the news media?

And I see little reason to believe otherwise. I mean sure they're only human and when I see some panel discussing Donald Trump I'm not the least bit surprised to see a smirk or a few rolling eyes amongst them.

What I don't see are the marching orders handed over to journalists from politicians.

You must mean like on Fox News. Rupert Murdoch himself said he's in the business of entertainment not news.

I do see Fox News is in the international news theme pack I get on Telus but seriously? By rights it should be in amongst Wicked Tuna or the Three Stooges.

FOX absolutely does have a conservative bias. As CNN, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, NPR and so on have a pretty obvious left bias. It's fair to poke fun at FOX. It's equally fair for us to poke fun at all the big names on the left like Maddow, Reid and the rest. I believe Maddow is pulling in $25 million annually for her nonsense.

I cancelled my satellite subscription earlier this year and have zero regrets so I can only see a lot less of their content on YouTube if I choose. And I'm generally not interested.
