In the 2002 Jim A. Kuypers of Dartmouth College investigated the issue of media bias. In this study of 116 mainstream US papers, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the San Francisco Chronicle, Kuypers stated that the mainstream press in America tends to favor liberal viewpoints. They argued that reporters who they thought were expressing moderate or conservative points of view were often labeled as holding a minority point of view. Kuypers said he found liberal bias in the reporting of a variety of issues including race, welfare reform, environmental protection, and gun control.

Interesting...
"Well before the conclusion of the eight years of G.W. Bush’s disastrous rule of perpetual war and unspeakable horrors abroad and at home, the tiny US corporate/military power elite was preparing and grooming a successor who would continue and substantively exacerbate the same Bush policies, while insidiously and effectively masquerading as someone who would bring about genuine change on behalf of the suffering masses in the US and globally. This successor and articulate political conjurer was Barack Obama—Mr. ‘hope and change,’ whose second largest 2008 Obama campaign contributor was none other than Wall Street’s notorious corporate blood-sucking Goldman Sachs. Thus, in 2008, the handwriting was in fact already on the wall, but with the complicity of the US corporate-stream mass media and numerous so-called ‘progressives,’ etc., the majority of everyday struggling people were thoroughly and cynically bamboozled to their own detriment. Indeed, on the third day of his first term as US President, Barack Obama mercilessly droned the sovereign nation of Pakistan, murdering children, women, and men non-combatants. Subsequently, Obama has gone on to massively increase the use of deadly US drone attacks upon many other sovereign nations in Africa, Asia, and the so-called ‘Middle East.’ It is estimated that at least 90 percent of the victims murdered and/or maimed by US killer drone attacks are non-combatant children, women, and men. Thus, Obama spawns more rage and hatred as a result of these ongoing killer drone attacks, and with it, the concomitant spiral of terror and perpetual war.
Prior to 2009, when Barack Obama was officially installed as the nominally ‘black’ designated standard bearer for the US system of global Empire at home and abroad, there were precious few who had the principled courage to sound the alarm. Fortunately for us all, Cindy Sheehan and a relative handful of other dissenters, refused to be complicit with, or silenced by, the nauseating and deafening chorus in those days by the supporters of corporate brand Obama’s euphoria of madness on the US Democrat/Republican plantation of the damned.
Not satisfied with his war crimes abroad, the wily corporate-controlled Drone Man Barack Obama, in service to the corporate/military elite, has bestowed upon himself his very own ‘kill list’—empowering him to target and have killed at will, individuals of any nationality (including US citizens) in the US, or anywhere else in the world, whom he, as judge, jury, and executioner, decides must die. This is Barack Obama’s so-called ‘hope and change.’ Whatever happened to international law and the US Constitution?"

You might look both ways before you trot out the same old tropes. They don't apply anymore. If we take your point to its logical extension. Trump also needs to denounce Farrakhan. This year is really making for some strange bedfellows.

Not surprising. Birds of a feather (narcissistic megalomaniacs) find common cause.
The evolving landscape should be creating a lot of cognitive dissonance for you. How are you resolving that?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostObama should have disavowed the NBP just as Trump is expected to disavow the KKK. Double standard! And I say that as someone who can't stand Trump, but understands his popularity. It is because of stuff like this, the double standard that exists in journalism today.
Compare and contrast with the long and storied history of KKK. David Duke himself has sought office.
If Obama would disavow the NBP, GOP would have to disavow a list of white nationalists that would keep them busy until reelection. That's real equivalence. We live in a time where right wing hate groups are ubiquitous and cons still talk about panthers and weathermen as threats from left. THAT tells a story right there.
Of course, cons love this game of gotcha because it's small minded. Really doesn't amount to a hill of beans to anyone but them and Dems lost their votes long ago when Reagan played pied piper tomthe white racists who were democrats back then.
GOP can keep them.

White hate groups are ubiquitous?? You have that backwards BLM and the NBP and the Nation of Islam are much more ubiquitous than the white groups and the MSM cheers them on. What planet do you live on?

Registered Republicans of course had no incentive to leave party for primary as they could vote for trump alternative in primary. Right wing news sites are obviously not reporting about how many republicans are stepping forward to say they will vote for Hillary or Bernie rather than trump. Suspect it will be a lot more than go other way.
We shall see. A lot of references to "civil war" in press today though.

Never called out., never confronted of the actual facts that prove everything she says is a lie.
And she gets away with it, puts on that " southern accent " when she really gears it up. What a phony. Obama inviting Sharpton to the White House time after time, and Hillary and Bernie meet with him ? That's all okay though. Sharpton ? Really ?

Are GOP disavowing the John Birch Society? why would the democrats disavow similarly irrelevant historical groups. Is there any limit to the pettiness of wounded feelings you guys will howl at the moon over? Realize how weak you seem?
No ....until the GOP disavows the Birchers all the disavowals of generations old groups is a waste of time. See they are used to playing by rules that favor them. No more.

did you read it? He likes Trump but did not endorse him
"[Trump] is the only member who has stood in front of [the] Jewish community and said, 'I don't want your money,'" Farrakhan told his followers Sunday at the Mosque Maryam in Chicago, according to the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish civil rights organization.
"Anytime a man can say to those who control the politics of America, 'I don't want your money,' that means you can't control me. And they cannot afford to give up control of the presidents of the United States." Farrakhan said in the sermon. Though he said he admires Trump's independence, the 82-year-old leader stopped short of endorsing the first-time novice politician for president.
"Not that I'm for Mr. Trump," he said, "but I like what I'm looking at."
Praising Trump, however, is a reversal for Farrakhan, who a few months ago suggested a White House run by the former reality show star would lead America into "the abyss of hell."
This part appeals to many and explains Sanders and Trumps popularity to some degree. Folks are sick and tired of being sold out by the people we elect
'I don't want your money,' that means you can't control me.
He is only praising his independence from the king makers.
