Media Bias

[MTK]

It’s a complex situation no doubt, but my point was blaming the media is missing the mark.

Speaking of media bias, where's the national coverage on this? White guy plants bomb in Asheville airport last Friday, tries to start a war on US soil. Luckily they disabled the bomb and arrested the guy (he was fairly easy to track down apparently) but this isn't big news?

Not just blaming media, but we know for a fact there was a story that was effectively killed by people in the entertainment industry essentially vouching for his behavior. That was like over 10 years ago...."he is one of us"...this same treatment given to others? highly unlikely.

Its pretty clear to see this guy was enabled within the institution of Hollywood who was effective in suppressing the media who effectively knew but chose to look the other way until what? 20 years later? psssh Polanski, Allen, Cosby, etc...its all the same song.

Just remember folks, when Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Meryl Streep are telling you who to vote for, how you should act, etc. You just look at them and laugh...they know very little of the real world. Its proven.

like I stated before in a post to Moobs...I shouldn't have to explain the intersecting lines between this 2 industries. There isn't any connection in anyways? We don't live in that world anymore.

Everything is interconnected these days, which is why it's hard to pin the blame on the people responsible. But that's what you should be doing instead of blaming the industry as a whole. Blaming the industry for what certain people do is lazy.

As in most countries, since the period of modern time...typically the greatest threats have been from its own people. The label "terrorist" or the definition which is thrown around so much today it really holds no value. The distinction is broad. MS-13, confederacy in the civil war, this guy in Las Vegas, the guy who shot the Arizona Senator lady, the crazy group in Oregon who held on to a state park a couple years ago, boston bombers, these are all terrorists from the what I hear these day. Its not restricted to race imo and yeah I guess since white people are the majority by a good bit, sure, Id put my money on violent acts by crazy people being white.

People are so dang mad that Islamic terrorism has cornered the market on the terrorist label in the last 20-40 years...in some way they feel like facts cause some sort of oppression. But yet here we are still fighting a global war against them still.

I think its fairly naïve and lazy not to acknowledge facts. Media is biased and liberal.

Like I said, when these clowns in Hollywood tell you how to think and vote, point and laugh. That's what most of the country has done.

That could be turned around on you! There are "opinion shows" and then there is the news.Many Americans can tell the difference.just as their are "opinion pieces in Newspapers,people new it was a "columnist who wrote it and their opinion .Now you have people on the internet tell the world that some Joe Smo's blog is news becuase they can provide a link to it and then others call that the MSM,No,it's cheap and it's lazy to blame the media for everything and it is most definitely lazy to call all media the "liberal media" ,you act like FOX Media doesn't exists.

Yes, Fox News, Breitbart, and The Blaze are all biased and liberal. Like I said, media is an all-encompassing term. Being specific only helps your cause.

So what is the difference when Politicians are telling you who to vote for,I mean don't they have a vested interest in swaying your vote?I have said this before but entertainers have always been political Bob Hope,Frank Sinatra etc but to me the best example was during Vietnam with Bob Dylan, Peter Paul and Mary, the Byrds,Phil Ochs,Woody and Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger,Crosby Stills and Nash(and Young).Like it or not they did help shorten the Vietnam war(conflict)

Entertainers have a platform not many people get so they use it to the best they can,so what? It's up to you and I to either like and or agree or disagree with them.That is America.

There is a big difference between constructing art to send an effective message versus grandstanding, talking about things they cannot to relate too or being a hypocrite for causes from which their own platform is built upon don’t practice it. Clear as fuck examples when talking about Hollywood and the media: gender equality when it comes to pay and sexual assault and rape in the workplace.

These people are clowns...don’t tell the rest of the country how to live when when you allow this type of behavior in your workplace.
