Horsefly Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Just now, concha said: The left-wing media, at least tv/cable/print is far wider reaching. Media footprint is not an excuse for how the right wing media has done the same in over the top negative coverage. They don’t get a pass As an example, remember when the right wing media lost their shit b/c Obama wore a tan suit to a press conference? That wasn’t even criticizing policy, just pure personal badgering over nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I point to the potential severity of the impact and influence of the partisanship. Ex. TV/cable news on the right is lucky to reach 1/5 the audience of the leftist MSM (based on viewership of the major networks plus CNN/HLN, MSNBC etc vs Fox News).

Their audience is primarily Dems/progressives/liberals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
