The media, in general, seems to think its their job to push a narrative. Thats whats called controlling what people think, just as Mika said.

Now to be clear, I dont think MSNBC is the only one to do this. No media outlet is very good in my opinion.

I am deeply interested in the progress and elevation of journalism, having spent my life in that profession, regarding it as a noble profession and one of unequaled importance for its influence upon the minds and morals of the people. Joseph Pulitzer

dude, you're so full of shit. first off, like the vast majority of people, i don't receive news from cable news services. secondly, cable news has enjoyed a nice bump before, during, and since the election. if anything, this reality show president has been a gift to them. he's making the press afraid? lololol. what color is this world you guys live in? 

It's colored non-imbecilic liberal.  Filled with happiness and laughter....mostly at your sides expense. :lol:

her point was that it's their job to present the facts and debunk the lies from the admin ya dingalings.

:lol:

I'm surprised some of you can actually make it through a whole day with your "logic"

 

 

Oh....THAT was her point. :lol:

You don't know what a "Freudian slip" is, do you?  

"Intellectually elite".

She said it EXACTLY the way she believes it, she just didn't mean to say it out loud.

Whether your opinion is true or not, does not take away from the fact that his words ring true today.

Its not an opinion. Joseph Pulitzer and Randolph Hearst engaged in a competition to be the media mogul of their time.That competition is what lead to what is commonly called "Yellow Journalism." Yellow journalism is major contributing factor in the Spanish-American war. 

 

EDIT: I will concede though, his words, on their face, ring true. However considering his contribution to the media of today...fuck Pulitzer.

there is some truth to that in many cases, but that is not what myka is saying here.

The fact is the "media" as we know it today are nothing more than corporations and legally they have the right to push any agenda they want based off the First Amendment.  What I laugh at is the denial by the news organizations.   How people cannot see this alone is why Citizens United was properly ruled is beyond me.  

What do we want the govt deciding what they should say?   That in itself is much more dangerous than what we have now.  The people decide (free market Moto) what they watch.

where did you find this little gem broski? breitbart? red state?

It's all over the web you clown.  And I'm sorry if this hurts your feelings (that's a lie). I don't give a fuck about you or people like you.  Nothing but whining, idiotic, head in the sand liberal trash.

Your liberal media is garbage, it's fake and misleading information with little or no truth to it at all.  Just opinions.  It's nothing more than tabloid news with only bits and pieces of facts (dates, times).  

Keep watching though, you'll eventually learn why your party will only exist in history books.  And why we will have a fucking one party system if nobody can step up and start resonating with the populace real soon.

You fucking people are a menace to America.  A disease that needs eradication.

He's impossible.  Buffoonery at its finest of levels.  A "good librul".

I'd bet 95% of all media think its their job to "influence" their readers/watchers/listeners.   Its inherent to the profession.   Why does the left have such a hard time admitting it?   Even the most basic notion that they are there to inform is telling.  Journalists are people there is hardly no way of not imputing their beliefs into what they do.   We would like to think that Judges are the one branch of govt that is impartial and follows the law and we all know that is complete bullshit for the most part.  People give human nature too much credit.
