What the United States needs is a real discussion about the systematic structural bias against politicians and political movements that question corporate control over the news, say RootsAction.org founders Jeff Cohen and Norman Solomon

Lol but when the media makes up lies about trump to brainwash people into hating him nobody cares 🤔😞
Media bias has always been on our thoughts, Trump was just the unfortunate one to shine a light on it.
I’m sure it’s because he’s a socialist. Now you know how Trump feels like.

This is excellent and educational. Sincerely, thank you
WA PO ran 16 negative stories on Bernie in 16 hours! You can see all of them here: https://fair.org/home/washington-post-ran-16-negative-stories-on-bernie-sanders-in-16-hours/
The main stream media (corporate) has lost all credibility. Corrupt and biased. Finding the "truth" is getting harder and harder. Thank goodness there are some independent media outlets that are uncorrupted.
Bernie Sanders is the most consistently honest politician ever! He just is 2020
IS IT REALLY BIASE TO SAY , THE MAN IS A SOCIALIST .!!!!! . ALL HIS LIFE .!!!!! . And A MILLIONAIRES IN A DEMOCRACY .!!!!!! . LETS NOT BE STUPID , OF THE FACTS .!!!!!!! . 🚨💀☠ï¸ðŸ’€ðŸš¨…..THE MAN IS 78 = YEARS OLD . IN A VERY STRESSFUL !!!!!!! . JOB .AS POSSIBLE PRESIDENT .? . 📚📖📚😎🇺🇸😎….HE MAY DIED , IN OFFICE .!!!!!!! .
The BBC was always pro-establishment but its a right wing propaganda conduit now. Corbyn is demonised by all mainstream media for same reasons as Bernie.
Bernie Sanders is our next President. Because… WE Decide who we Vote For!!!!
Absolutely brilliant. People who have turned off cable "news" propaganda need more programming like this. Thank you!!
What's wrong with pbs newshour?
Mainstream media are not journalists but a media cartel.
Sanders have little to no indignation about your biased news coverage complaint after your indignant arrogance in rejecting reparations For Blacks.
Warren is only running with DNC support to split the Left to allow a neoliberal to slide in.
Love the article ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
Sanders is awesome
Mainstream media is nothing more than corporate propaganda. I stopped consuming mainstream media years ago. The wealthy capitalistic elite want to keep us in the dark and their control of media outlets is how they are doing it.
"Why tell your pundits what to say when you can just hire pundits who happen to believe what you want them to say?"
Well said in exposing the bias against Sanders by the Washington Post that's why he was not chosen by the DNC in favor of Hilliary Clinton. For years, Bernie has been championing causes the favor the majority of our country. Lets see how it goes this upcomming election.
Why is it that when I share this video on Facebook, "The Real News Network" is not displayed, only just a generic "YouTube?" As far as I've seen other videos do not blank out the name of the publisher.
You know who is really getting blacked out by media is Andrew Yang! #yang2020 #yanggang #securethebag
It's called capitalism. The MSM:s war on Sanders and socialism etc. is only surprising if you believe in the fairy tale that "the market" leads to corporations informing people.
In any corporation the bias against adversaries is structural. End of discussion.
I have never owned a television so I have not followed the mainstream media since 1991. I also read Chomsky and Marcuse so was always skeptical. But when the 2016 elections rolled around the media bias was so obvious, I think most of the nation understood it. They made different decisions in regards to the fact. Some voted for Trump because Trump continued to comment on the fact. But Trump is a Buffoon. We had a choice between a Buffoon who tells big fish stories (lies) and a woman whose values were horrific (Libya and Honduras) and whose lies were equal to Trump. America voted the lessor of two evils. Can we do better than that strategy?
I have respect for true fiscal conservatives, even though liberal. But please can we do better than this shit?
I will support Sanders, Yang, Gabbard, and Warren. What I expect of true fiscal conservatism is to challenge each one of them of whether their liberal policies are sound.
So far I support Yang as number one, as someone who addresses liberalism and traditional conservative ideas. Gabbard as number two. But if Sanders is elected I expect true fiscal conservatives to come up to the plate and challenge him but not with bullshit pumped from FOX.
Right now Medicare for all is better than the ACA. Do fiscal conservatives have a better idea.
Right now Forgiving student loans and creating debt free college is a better plan. Do fiscal conservatives have a better idea?
There is a big difference between corporate "conservatives" and fiscal conservatives. A corporate conservative does exactly what Obama or Biden did and proposed. Economic plans that simply benefit corporations. A fiscal conservative is someone who looks at cause and effect.
I have rarely found true progressives and liberals. But Sanders is both. But if he is elected he needs good honest fiscal conservatives to argue with him, not corporate shills.
America does not need corporate Democrats or corporate Republicans. Americans needs true liberal progressives and true conservatives to hammer public policy out. If we rely on the corporatists the majority of us loose.
A real conservative will look at Sanders ideas and truly ask "is this affordable" and not out vanity. When I speak to true conservatives about higher education the demand that universities and colleges be accountable. That is true conservatism Thad will balance out Sanders liberalism. When I talk to true conservatives about healthcare they often talk about people going to the doctors for no good reason. That is true conservatism. When I talk to true conservatives about food stamps they know the statistics and tell me that it is 100% beneficial to people and the economy. It is not some false morality that some people get free food. It is the fact that it increase GDP revenue and hells people.
We don't need corporate democrats and corporate republicans. That's all they do is create policies that benefit a Less than 1% fraction of the USA.
We need both good liberal progressives and good conservatives who really access the actual cause and effect of public policy. The corporatists can go.
If you are conservative don't argue the ridiculous argument that people getting things for free is bad, it's absurd. Sometimes that brings great financial benefit to everyone. If you are liberal don't believe the government can fix everything by throwing money at it. You can't fix everything.
But a good conservative liberal dialogue will produce good results. Ditch the corporatists who have no concern for anyone else.
If a company is owned by a guy who doesn't like someone, and that person has the ability to decide who gets hired, and that person who's running the paper is able to decide who does and doesn't write the articles, it's kind of a trickle down crap fest. If the owner doesn't like him, it's not hard to believe that his employees might be biased against him simply because he's mean to their owner.
If you find this depressing, as I do, at least take some comfort knowing that journalistic integrity isn't entirely dead.
Here in Amazon's home town, the Seattle Times has never been shy about criticizing them. Same goes for Boeing coverage.
I ran across this tweet from David Sirota as I was listening to this discussion. WaPo throwing all sorts of unsubstantiated shit up against the wall regarding Sanders. Guess what: it sticks. My own wife's major complaint about Bernie is his tone. Seriously.

All I have to say is 15 negative stories about Bernie in 16 hours. Really guys?
"Rosebud"
A good guard dog does not have to be told by its owner who to bite.
Why do we have so few whistle blowers in the Media, CIA, FBI or other government agencies?
Because everyone working for these organizations know if they step out of line they will lose their livelihood, or worse, like Ms. Manning end up in prison for being honest with the US public and exposing US government atrocities.
The people like Putin, and the the rest of the dictators of the world, use the same tactics as the oligarchs that run this country, except the oligarchs here hide by projecting a false sense of democracy we have bought into for over 60 years.
Enough is enough!
If you own a newspaper it will print your interest
Jeff Bezos's Washington Post ran 16 negative stories on Bernie Sanders in 16 hours in 2016. fair.org/home/washington-post-ran-16-negative-stories-on-bernie-sanders-in-16-hours/
Unfortunately so many uneducated people who still rely on corporate media. My 70+ year old Mom is distressed about the collapse of the economy for all but a few and the healthcare dysfunction but does not understand or is unwilling to understand she is gettinh her news from the serpent. It is just habit for her like reading the news paper. Just too many people ike my Mom.
Information flow cannot be just the province of corporate America because this would not be democracy and oligarchy cannot last, especially when oligarchs deny not only environmental science, but social science as well. We must be willing to face reality, not squash reality with disibformation and believe this makes reality go away. It doesnt. There is an objective reality that those in charge must face or else. Medicareforall. Bernie2020.
Capitalism on steroids is not a winning economy for a world tomorrow. Medicareforall. Bernie2020.
The bottom line is corporate America must grow up or the world will not survive. We must utilize science or ignore it and perish. There is more to life than having "all" the nation's resources. We "must" include the people in the economy. The rich must pay their taxes, not evade their taxes. Medicareforall.BERNIE2020.
real news needs to be really heard
