The Danger of Media Bias
The mainstream media is becoming one of the most destructive forces in our country today! It has become quite clear the media is more concerned about trying to influence the outcome of elections and policy instead of exposing corruption. The media used to be a force for good as exposing all corruption and other evil doing was the duty of any reporter that considered themselves a professional journalist. Journalists have now become "propagandists". Originally my intent was to provide proof of bias but this not necessary as journalists are not even attempting to hide their leftward leaning. When the media clearly supports politicians they agree with while trying to destroy those they don't corruption will be encouraged. If you are a politician and know you will not be held accountable for unlawful actions because the media supports your policies then that politician will be even more inclined to abuse their power. This is exactly what is happening today.
If you are not convinced the media is biased then some proof is in order. Richard Reeves, a now retired well known liberal newspaper opinion writer wrote an article about the sexual scandals of politicians during the time of the Gary Hart/Donna Rice scandal. In his article he stated the obvious, that adulterous relationships were nothing new with politicians. What I found most disturbing in his article was his statement that the press new about President John F Kennedy's many affairs but never reported them because the press agreed with his policies. His intention was to explain sexual affairs were more common then what was reported but what was really said was reporters were not interested in being objective, if they agreed with your policies they would give you a free pass on whatever you do.
Need more proof? If the constant media criticism of President Trump were not obvious enough (as well as totally ignoring his accomplishments) WikiLeaks has exposed the collusion between major network reporters trying to help the Hillary Clinton campaign. Pure logic provides even more evidence as any reasonable person would conclude if anyone under investigation deleted emails and destroyed hard drives they were destroying evidence. Yet when emails were "lost" from key IRS officials being accused of slow walking conservative 501c3 applications as well as emails deleted and hard drives destroyed by Hillary Clinton who was under investigation, the mainstream media showed no concern about obvious destruction of evidence.
I will provide more evidence of bias in future blogs as well as my theory as to why a vast majority of journalists seem to have no problem being so one sided in their political coverage.
