Jacobson told Fox News that Stelter’s commentary raises a very serious question: “Has Brian Stelter ever watched CNN, which demeans Trump around the clock as a racist, mentally unstable Putin puppet? Or any of the other major networks that spread Russia collusion conspiracy theories for years, and whose reporters go to White House press conferences for the sole purpose of trying to bait Trump into a reaction so they can get retweets on Twitter?” It’s called CNN!Ĭornell Law School professor and media critic William A. Then Stelter asked this question of a guest, Errin Haines, editor-at-large of the news site The 19th: “Errin, your view of this: When you see entire media companies essentially exist to tear down Joe Biden, is there an equivalent to that on the left, tearing down Trump?” Haines answered: “There really isn’t.” The conservatives had been speculating about Joe Biden’s mental health and his fitness for office. He played audio clips from Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and Michael Savage while the words “Vile Anti-Biden Rhetoric On Right-Wing Talk Radio” was shown on the screen. Recently Stelter put conservative talk radio in his crosshairs. Every week on his program, it’s the same song and dance: Bash conservative media and bash Donald Trump. Then there’s the matter of Brian Stelter, host of CNN’s “Reliable Sources” show. Yet, major news media outlets today are calling her “moderate” and “centrist.” Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). That means the group found her even more liberal than Sens.
senators, based on the legislation she signed on to. An analysis by concluded that, in 2019, Harris was the “most liberal” of all 100 U.S. Maybe Harris is a moderate or a centrist as far as liberal journalists are concerned, but that’s not how a nonpartisan group that tracks congressional legislation sees it. The Associated Press and the Los Angeles Times described Harris as “centrist.” On television, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos said that “Kamala Harris comes from the middle-of-the-road, moderate wing of the Democratic Party.”
Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as his running mate, the New York Times immediately labeled her as a “ pragmatic moderate.” And why wouldn’t they? Liberal journalists give Democrats the kind of biased news they want.įor example, when Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden picked Sen. So few Democrats think journalists are biased because Democrats like the news they’re getting from mainstream sources. Nearly nine out of every 10 Americans think journalists slant the news.Īmong Republicans, 71 percent have an unfavorable view of the news media, but only 22 percent of Democrats have an unfavorable view. But these latest numbers are pretty bad: 86 percent of Americans say there is either a “fair amount” or a “great deal” of political bias in news coverage. I realize that this is hardly “breaking news.” A lot of us figured out a long time ago that many journalists had a political ax to grind - and it was a bias that usually went in just one direction. According to a recent joint Gallup and Knight Foundation poll, just about nobody trusts the news media these days.
