Archy1221 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Searched and couldn’t find a place to put the double standard media bias posts, Both Left and Right leaning, for all to share. Media has changed so much to be narrative focused more than straight news focused. 2 1 Link to comment

The second tweet shows us why. We wouldn't have any evidence for the public to see/hear about how Trump is actively and criminally trying to overturn a safe and free election without the tape. This is a prime example of how our press needs to be a free press. April Ryan is the one that is wrong in the first situation. The press that used the secret tapes in either situation are NOT wrong and they are doing their jobs. 4 Link to comment

If the Post had been given a recording of Biden doing the same thing let’s say in a state he lost, you bet they would have published it. They’re looking for a “story” and just because Trump gives them loads of material, doesn’t make them biased for reporting it. 2 Link to comment

I think we agree 100% here about April Ryan and journalists using almost any source material they can get their hands on. 1 1 Link to comment

The bias here is April Ryan, a CNN contributor and WH correspondent, saying recordings should not be used against Biden, then touting the GA recording against Trump. 1 1 Link to comment
ZRod Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 What were the Biden recordings about? Did Joe flat out lie about a conversation and threaten the person on the other end of that conversation while pedaling bogus conspiracy theories? Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Can we combine this with one of the previous threads discussing media bias? @Enhance Link to comment

These are two public officials, having a conversation in their pubic roles/responsibilities. Imagine the Supreme Court would say they have no expectation of privacy. Link to comment

It doesn’t. April Ryan says it fine to use secretly recorded tapes when it comes to Trump but not when it comes to Biden. That’s bias. 1 1 Link to comment

That’s why it’s good to expose those in the media who do not report fair and accurately. And I’m not talking about opinion media like Maddow, Hannity, Lemon, etc.. or the very far left and very far right. We already know the slant they provide. CNN, FoxNews, ABC, White House Correspondents, CBS, NYT, WAPO, and the news reporter within those orgs, etc should be held to a Report on both sides the same standard. Give us the news and don’t narrate it. 2 Link to comment

If only ABC would have taken that stance and released the Epstein story instead of supporting pedophiles by sitting on it for 3yrs 4 Link to comment
