    I see it as: Conservative Media > MSM liberal media

    Garmel, it is that way because Progressives have owned TV news since it was invented. There is finally an alternative, they can't control it.

    And this is why they want to crack down on social media. It can't be easily controlled. Their ideal would be something like the Reich Ministry of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment - a unified filter in which all (or virtually all) media is controlled or at least approved or disapproved by the state. I think the First Amendment and free elections keep them from advocating for this. (In other words, they would fear the Right ever holding that kind of power.) Since they can't have that now, they'd like to do everything they can to restore the monopoly they held from the 1930s until the early 1990s.

    This is the only way the media will report on border wall construction

    The problem is that the owners of social media's market leaders are all leftists who are lukewarm on free speech.

    The only answer is for people to use multiple social media platforms and for content creators to make money on more than one platform. That isn't the case today, so Twitter, Facebook, Youtube all work as functional monopolies.

    The problem with monopolies is ALWAYS that they restrict SUPPLY for their own interests. Usually it is for monopoly prices. In this case it is political control. The is only one way out, innovation, freedom, a functional market.

    Well, it sounds like Zuckerberg is trying not to be, but we'll see if he keeps it up. He's getting a lot of flack for not following Dorsey's idiotic lead.

    It is a bit baffling how leftist Silicon Valley is now. I understand why they aren't conservative. They live and work in communities that are very secular and therefore very liberal on social issues, and of course they thrive on an open borders agenda. I get all that.

    However, suppose someone like Elizabeth Warren is the nominee. She's pitching by far the largest permanent increases in federal spending in history, and she's pretty much saying that she's going to bankroll it entirely by taxing the wealthy. Of course, unlike the entire media we can do fifth grade math, so we know this can't be done. However, if she wins, she's going to at least try to do this. She's pitching almost $30T in new spending over the next ten years (and that's using her numbers - the more likely number is more like $37T). If she's trying to only tax the wealthy for this, who the hell do guys like Zuckerberg and Dorsey think she's going to go after? Will they go broke? No. But will she hit them hard enough to massively hit their bottom line? Yes. To even pretend to come up with that kind of money, she has to.

    The wealthy will not stay in the US to be taxed, they didn’t get wealthy by paying taxes. Also taxing the top 1% will become the top 2% then top 5%.......

    Zuckerberg will turn Right if he keeps getting attacked by people like Warren and Sanders.

    He really needs to see how many people he has harmed by censoring Conservatives in the US and working with foreign government to squelch speech abroad.

    After yelling "Russia!, Russia!, Russia!" for the last 2 1/2 years, the WAPO has completely reversed itself --

    “Foreign spies aren’t always threat to a country’s national security. In many cases, they can strengthen it.”

    Can you guess whose spies are OK?

    China, of course
    The WAPO is owned by the Amazon guy
    "We Should Let China Spy on Us"

    Looks like it was written by a Bloomberg person but published in the WAPO

    Poynter bills itself as a "school for journalism and democracy" in Florida
    But not accuracy
    They probably all end up at CNN

    Just turned on CNN and I could swear I was watching MSNBC. Good grief, ABC,CBS, NBC and CNN are literally the most despicable industry in America. Yes, Fox has bias too but those organizations pretend to be news and have no interest in being legitimate.

    It is common for people in the intelligence community to work for news media. What should that tell us about what they present?

    NRP's turn
    How do you explain these wide difference in tone and coverage?
    Is it political bias? Is it anti-white racism?

    At Northwestern, which used to have a pretty good J-School. editors of the student newspaper were forced to apologize -- for reporting

    Editors at Northwestern University’s campus newspaper apologized on Sunday for its coverage of student demonstrators, which they said was invasive and “hurt students,” spurring a swift backlash from professional journalists and a broader reckoning over reporting practices and diversity in newsrooms.
    ...
    It also said that reporters’ efforts to contact students for interviews using Northwestern’s directory had been “an invasion of privacy.”

    “Ultimately, The Daily failed to consider our impact in our reporting ..."

    It was a former military guy on CNN or MSNC as an analyst. Something ridiculously outlandish against Trump. I don't recall exactly. My point was that everyone always feels it necessary to thank people for their service no matter how much of a moron the person may be.
