When they’re not shaping views; “…someone needs to tell AP that “gotcha” journalism loses considerable umph in the rearview mirror.”
“In a not so stunning revelation, the BBC admitted to allowing employees to call in to shows either asking for audience involvement, or offering prizes, when the network wasn’t receiving enough real feedback.”
“In the final poll of a series measuring perceptions of media bias, the Associated Press, local television stations, MSNBC, and CNBC are all perceived as tilting to the left when reporting the news.”
And it’s only Monday!
It’s only Monday!
For these MSM guys it’s a lifelong jihad!
They Never stop like Rust Never Sleeps…..
It is almost as if the family has been called to the bedside, and all are in that interminable mental holding pattern, waiting for someone else to call for the last rites to be administered.
As I described in another thread, regarding another matter, but which might be apropos here, this is becoming perverse.
It is much akin to stopping your pickup next to a three-day-old, flattened platter of roadkill, and getting out and stomping on it to put it out of it’s misery.
The death spiral tightens as they quickly run out of altitude. I do not expect a soft landing.
Watch for the growing deployment of golden parachutes as the circulation/viewership numbers continue to plummet and stockholders increase their sell off.

I’m sure CBC has been doing this for years when you hear the lockstep sycophants that phone into CBC “current events” programs like Avi and Strombo…I’m sure the calls were made from inside the CBC building 😉
Anyone who has ever watched “townhouse” type programs or documentaries on CBC will have been subjected to the exact same type of left wing slant.
It would be a miracle to behold if CBC ever had a truly conservative type program or personality on at least a half hour show and at least once a month.
Jeez, you would see thei viewer numbers skyrocket!
But it will never happen as long as some strong willed government with a majority mandate happens and puts an end to the leftist propaganda machine that is the CBC.
The mainstream left-wing news media 95% lies 5% truth
C’mon s p….that’s completely unfair.
It’s more like 93%lies 7%truth.
If that’s only monday = Tuesday is gone with the wind.
As yes the AP (Accredited Propagandists) are still spiralling down. Like all good propagandists they believe in getting the lie out and getting it out often. The gullible will accept it and the MSM will repeat it, the rest of us will research it and know it to be a lie.
I like the Michael Chrichton speech of 15 years ago predicting their (MSM) downfall, too bad it has been so long coming. You can look it up at michaelchrichton.net. Also check out the speech on Media Speculation, good as well….
