How Sinclair Broadcasting puts a partisan spin using "trusted" local news stations

Trump is also a fan of infowars and I don't have any serious problems with that either, and that really pisses the CNN, MSNBC folks off to no end.

Infowars makes MSNBC look unbiased. It's the 'Occupy Democrats' of the right.

meh that perception may just be the result of their trump support, prior to trump they certainly weren't.

whoa, that is taking up way too much space, can't see it all.

Yeah I deleted it after posting, I'll have to find a scaled down size.

Fine you can say that . But again he never bashed Fox news, and that is what we are talking about here . But he always bashes the other media outlets. Info wars is nothing but cespool of crap.

I never read InfoWars.

Also, didn't the news guy, Shepherd Smith, who is I think actually a Democrat, recently say something that pissed Trump off?

Anyways - I didn't vote for Trump, and I have very little praise for him.

The guy has always had a history of shit talking anybody who ever criticizes him, whether it's news outlets or Rosie O'Donnell or anybody else. It's just the guy and everybody knows that about him.

If somebody on Fox News pisses him off, he'll be talking shit about them.

EDIT:

Here's a link.

Nobody is going to claim that Fox News isn't most Trump favorable network out there; but if a person looks it up, there are a number of examples of Fox personnel criticizing Trump.

If Trump support were the reason, I'd lump Fox News in there with them.

Between hawking diet pills, pizzagate, and Seth Rich nonsense...Inforwars is all in on absurdity.

He was taking a shot at me in his reply to you. I'm the infowars supporter.

I find the Fox News is pro GOP rather than pro Trump. When Cruz and Rubio were in the running, Fox was all about shit talking Trump and that's when Trump called them out.

Once Trump was 'their guy' they fell in line. In an alternate universe MSNBC and the Clinton News Network did the same exact thing when Bernie pulled off a miracle.

Not familiar with any diet pills, I've told him before to take more time before jumping to conclusions and being too quick to propagate anything and everything can cross his desk. He didn't start the story rather was too quick to believe it he's a bit too hyper sometimes. and sorry IMO the Seth Rich item isn't nonsense. in the back wallet still on person robbery story is BS IMO.

I'm pretty sure this has been shared here but felt appropriate in this thread.

Because if it wasn't robbery, it must have been Hilary Clinton's people murdering him for leaking info. :lmao: It's one thing to assume foul play, it's another entirely to make the great leaps they did.

That chart is pretty much someone's opinion, isn't it?

I still question that one yes.

If you go to the actual website it's actually formulaic in it's creation. The only opinion or bias was in the creation of the categories on the horizontal and vertical axis. I suppose if someone WANTS an opinion fed to them rather than just information, they might draw up the lines different.

If you're really interested in the methodology, it can be found here.

That's fair. It's not questioning the circumstances that bother me, it's the jumping to conclusions.

fair enough, I have not concluded anything rather just open to the possibility they are right on this one.

Yeah. This person was formulaic in the plotting of her reads on these things, but there's even a section on how she accounted for her own bias. She evaluated herself, figured out how biased she was, and added a fudge factor to correct for her bias. But at it's root, this is a collections of evaluations of many opinions. It's well done. But it's not objective.

If and when you find a better version, I'd be all about checking it out. :cheers:

There was one I used to post, but it's old now. I'd love to see it updated.

That's one of the reasons I've stuck with this one, it's been updated several times since last fall.
