Do conservatives who complain about the "liberal media" want better, more truthful reporting or they want Republican elites not to be criticized?

Trump can just claim anything he doesn't like is fake news and a lot pf his supporters will buy it.

Rush Limbaugh and Don Rumsfeld envoked the liberal media theory to defend Bush and the Iraq War when that war was going south in order to extend it.

A lot of conservatives seem fine supporting a known liar like James O'Keefe.

When do conservatives ever promote actual journalism over infotainment? What right winger is demanding high journalism standards from the conservative media?

 

[Grandpappy]

The media are proven liars, and proven to be biased left. We Trump supporters take this as just the way it is. Also, Hannity and Limbaugh were correct all along on some things, while the media spun lies on a daily basis.

Authoritarians despise accuracy and objectivity in news. They want a LOYAL media, which amounts to a court stenographer with a camera.

Really, then why did Rush Limbaugh flip flop on the Iraq war?

Redirect Notice

Why did Hannity flip flop on Covid-19?

Redirect Notice

Do you guys ever demand any journalism standards from the conservative media? Or does the fact that Limbaugh and Hannity are conservative media elites mean you will always give them a free pass?

I would vastly prefer real journalists as apposed to all the Anderson Coopers, Lester Holts and Chuck Todd propagandists. It's easy for us to see their bias, maybe not for you. After all, they tell you what you want to hear. For ratings, mostly.

Sean Hannity
stated on July 21, 2020 in an episode of his TV show:
The Trump administration has had “zero unfulfilled equipment and supply requests from state governors.”

Rush Limbaugh
stated on February 24, 2020 in an episode of his radio show:
“The coronavirus is the common cold, folks.”

You were saying?

"While he’s still singing the praises of Trump and trying to shift blame for the coronavirus onto China". LOL who's fault is it if not China? THIS is media bias, although I fully expect it from that website.

So you think it was okay for Hannity to call the virus a hoax?

Unless you can prove China created this virus in a lab, China is at fault for handling the virus initially and Trump is at fault for how it was handled in the US.

The Spanish Flu actually started in Kansas in 1918, do you think Kansas should be blamed for it?

Fox News, as you know, has many times more viewers than the other cable news outlets. But to answer your question, it's very likely that schools of journalism instructors are heavily left biased. They always have been, but more so today.
It's sad they can't see their own journalistic failure.

If its bias.....ask why?

Again ask why? Media corporations are owned by business men....not journalists.


They want to make money.



So ask why?...dig a little deeper

Actually, there is some debate about the origin of the Spanish Flu.

https://www.history.com/topics/world-war-i/1918-flu-pandemic
Scientists still do not know for sure where the Spanish Flu originated, though theories point to France, China, Britain, or the United States, where the first known case was reported at Camp Funston in Fort Riley, Kansas, on March 11, 1918.

Sometimes the Cable stations are just toys or a tax write off. On both sides.

What's wrong with that? The way I see it "reporting" the news means just that. No putting their own spin on things or giving their own opinion on it.

The fact is unless you prove China created this virus in a lab, what you can blame China for is the initial handling of the virus, but when it went beyond China's border, it would be on every other country to handle the virus within their borders.

Fake news is far too nice a term for them. They are more evil than Joseph Goebbels and make him look like an amateur when it comes to lying. They are in no sense of the word journalists.

Criticism is opinion, not news

Yes, but I am saying conservatives will never hold Republican elites accountable for anything, because Republican elites can blame the liberal media for all their faults and the GOP base will eat it up. They never apply personal responsibility to Republican elites.
