Chris Hayes on whether the media will repeat mistakes of 2016
- Thread starter UnpopularBlargh
- Start date
The way the media has been attacking Bernie easily shows that their bias against him is far more important than the reality of Trump's disgusting handling of the Presidency.

It already has been making mistakes. Current media is all about conflict and gathering up views, like some kind of sports game. No one focuses on the mediocre stuff because that just ain't exciting!
Damn, Chris Hayes bringing the truth. This is a perfect example of how morally bankrupt the media can be.
Yeah, Chris Hayes is pretty sensible and good at calling out this sort of stuff.
No matter who the nominee is parts of the media will find something to be the new "emails", and at the same time continue to normalize the strange shit Trump does daily.

I haven't watched the video yet cause I'm at work but it's amazing how negative and attacking the media is with sanders. They were doing it to Warren earlier too, giving anyomous CEOs a soapbox to say how bad she would be for the economy.
Doesn't really surprise me as much as disappoint me. I almost never watch mainstream news coverage on TV anymore. I'll watch pbs news hour or BBC and listen to npr on the radio cause at least they offer fact based coverage.

It's in the media's best interest to court both sides of the aisle. In order to counterbalance Trump's incredibly numerous scandals/flaws/horrific decisions/weirdness they will make big deals out of almost nothing for the other side. They want to be seen as neutral and in doing so are causing evil to win.
It's cowardice and an inborn sense that both sides are equal in some way.

Remember after last week's debate when the billionaire got more coverage than the other five candidates combined? The media are run by morons who never learn. I'm still pissed about the NYT's coverage of the 2016 election and their inability to recognize the part they played in Trump's election. When it was confirmed that Russia had meddled, NYT reports were like "Those bastards!" instead of taking a look at their own choice to, say, continually run front-page stories about Hillary's emails.
The people who run media outlets only care about ratings. As long as that's the case, coverage will chase clicks and eyeballs above all else. It's sad.

yep. and when 30% of the country wants to hear bad things about democrats, guess what? they'll oblige.
It's not even about smearing democrats. "If it bleeds, it leads" has been a journalism axiom forever, but whereas before it was a guideline, now it's the first and only rule.
The media has no real skin in the game. They can try and act like they are on one side or the other for the most part, but what they are after is ratings and ad sales above all else. Deep down, for most of them, another 4 years of Trump will have zero effect on their lives.

Btw if you like Chris Hayes check out his podcast. It's great stuff. Basically long form interviews covering topics that don't and wouldn't get coverage on cable news beyond a few minutes cuz they're ratings dead zones.

The way CNN and MSNBC tried to downplay those Bloomberg interviews and barely acknowledge his controversial past as mayor.
Yes, it's 2016 all over again.

It doesn't really matter who is the nominee. We already got a taste of what's to come with Warren, Biden and now Sanders falling victim to disingenuous bullshit. The GOP will make a mountain out of any molehill and most of the media will feed into it because they really have nothing to lose and everything (viewership) to gain.
