'Embarrassed for America'...
'I'm embarrassed for America': Puzzled viewers slam NBC for its 'train-wreck' New Year's Eve coverage after it failed to show the ball drop and aired Chrissy Teigen talking about 'vaginal steaming'Meanwhile over on CNN, hosts Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper butted heads with Times Square security after event organizers told them that CNN would not be invited back next year if they didn't relinquish their umbrellas.
- Viewers slammed NBC for its live New Year's Eve coverage in New York's Times Square
- Angry viewers described it as a 'train-wreck' after the network failed to show the entire countdown and aired Chrissy Teigen talking about vaginal steaming
- Some called the network's coverage a 'complete disaster' and others suggested it was the 'worst New Year's Show ever'
- Many complained about NBC failing to broadcast a countdown clock or the ball drop in Time's Square
- Viewers also took aim at one of the hosts, Chrissy Teigen, after she briefly explained vaginal steaming
Viewers also took aim at one of the hosts, Chrissy Teigen, after she briefly explained vaginal steaming to co-host Carson Daly about 15 minutes before midnight.
The model shared photos on social media earlier this year of her carrying out the remedy, which is said to cleanse the vagina and help regulate menstruation and ease period cramping.
It involves sitting or squatting over a bowl of steaming, herb-infused water for between 20 and 60 minutes. The remedy, which surged in popularity after Gwyneth Paltrow promoted the benefits back in 2015, can cost roughly $75 per 30 minutes in some spas.
'Watching NBC with my 12 year old 20 min before the ball drops and Chrissy Teigen starts talking about vaginal steaming. Really?! The host of NYE... vaginal steaming? Come on... have a little CLASS. Too many families watching honey. Not cute,' a Twitter user said.

This is CNN? Primetime shows filled with liberal opinion, not straight news as network claims
CNN touts its primetime lineup as being straight, just-the-facts news, but anyone tuning in to the network’s evening programming can expect a heavy dose of liberal opinion, as “Anderson Cooper 360,” “CNN Tonight” and “Cuomo Prime Time” don't always align with founder Ted Turner's bare bones, objective approach to journalism.
"Anderson Cooper is a mix of news and opinion, but Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo are obviously heavy on opinion and use the news as a launching pad for those opinions," Cornell University Law Professor William Jacobson told Fox News. "There's nothing inherently wrong with that, so long as they are not mischaracterized as part of the news operation."
PRESSURE BUILDS ON CNN AS NAACP QUESTIONS NETWORK'S 'TROUBLING' LACK OF DIVERSITY
DePauw University professor and media critic Jeffrey McCall told Fox News that CNN’s primetime shows “are not straightforward news shows in the traditional sense of objective journalism,” pointing out that the opinions of the hosts are often very bluntly presented.“News consumers are increasingly suspicious of programs that blend news and opinion, and a news organization's failure to properly label contributes to the national decline in credibility from the public,” McCall said.
While MSNBC and Fox News are transparent about specific on-air personalities hosting opinion shows, CNN claims its evening lineup is filled with straight news anchors. And while CNN personalities often conflate the opinion and news divisions of other media outlets in order to point out a perceived bias, CNN characterizes all three of its primetime programs as “news” shows, according to the section of its website that labels other shows in an “interview and debate” category.

Dafna Linzer, the managing editor of NBC News and MSNBC’s political coverage, was accused by freelance journalist Yashar Ali of trying to block him from publishing the dates of the 2020 Democratic Party primary debates.
Ali, a high-profile reporter whose work has appeared in the Huffington Post and New York magazine, said he suspects Lizner made the move to benefit the DNC, not her employers.

Most of the "news" today is at least 2 if not 3. It's up to the reader (or viewer) to sift through the 2's and 3's to try to determine what the actual news is. Usually by visiting a few sites with opposing biases to try to sift through the BS.
I'm 59. In the early 80s when cable was just coming about and CNN was a real cable news source. CNN was actually considered as a right leaning news source because they dared to give some views from the right. In those days and before the ONLY source for conservative views were Paul Harvey or editorial print. There were ZERO conservative news sources from ABC, NBC, or CBS and people were hungry for something that did not lean left on EVERY issue.
I've always thought it was ironic that JFK is thought of as an honorable person and good president. He was anything but. Don't even get me started on LBJ.
I laid out the history of the decline in journalism in a post over a year ago. I don't remember what thread it was on.
In quick summary, like public education, the commies took over "news" organizations and pushed a leftist agenda. Entities like Rush, in 1988, and later FOX, in 1996, were a direct result of this extreme leftist shift and the market clamored for the truth. Since then the two sides have dug their heels in and are just taking sides, mostly. FOX is still the most balanced...by far! But, yes, they have their editorial shows like Hannity and Carlson.
Agree on Lemon, but Cuomo will take a deep dive into the issues and give you a lot of analysis. His show has improved greatly.Quote:

Facts are facts. My point was that they are easier to decipher or see for what they are in print rather than conveyed by a “news person”. I think it’s easier to be more objective when reading as there are fewer sensory inputs to process.Quote:

Now back to media...FOX tends to give a more a conservative view of most topics. The others (ALL OF THEM) tend to lean left. Good luck finding reading material that will begin as objective.
I get all my news from Alex Jones.
The subjectivity of the author/reporter is of little consequence if I can tell what in his report are facts and what are opinions. I think its easier to do that when I read as opposed to when I listen. Your mileage may vary.Quote:

Both of these "headlines" could report the exact same story and facts if you read it. But just reading the headlines you can walk away with two different perspectives. "News organizations" know this and use it to their advantage.
Unfortunately, they would go with the latter!!!!Quote:

CNN VIEWERSHIP COLLAPSE...
CNN's prime-time ratings dropped a whopping 26 percent in April compared to last year, according to Nielsen Media Research.
MSNBC's ratings were down 14 percent in April 2019 compared to April 2018, while Fox News's ratings overall were flat.
The sharp decrease for CNN marked its lowest-rated month in total viewers since October 2015.
In the 25- to 54-year-old demographic that advertisers covet most, it was the network's least-watched month since Aug. 2015.
In prime time, Fox News finished first with an average of 2.4 million viewers. In April 2018, the network also averaged 2.4 million viewers, according to Nielsen.

Don Lemon tries to bait the Pastor's of the two Louisiana churches that were burned due to arson. Pastor's didn't take the bait.. didn't work out as Don and CNN had hoped.
quote:
Two pastors whose historically black churches were burned down spoke with CNN’s Don Lemon about Vice President Mike Pence’s Friday visit and the Trump administration’s response.
Rev. Gerald Toussaint of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church and Rev. Harry Richard of Greater Union Baptist Church both sat down with Lemon Friday night. Their churches were burned in hate-motivated arsons allegedly committed by the son of a local sheriff’s deputy.
Instead of being critical, the reverends praised both Pence and the administration’s response to the tragedy.quote:So Lemon tried to bait them:
“Today the vice president visited the site and your church,” Lemon said. “How do you feel about support you’ve received from the Trump White House?” “It’s satisfying and it’s uplifting,” Toussaint responded. While the pastor said they were “concerned” at first, he told Lemon they are “reassured right now because of the reaction that we’re getting, especially the visit of Vice President Mike Pence.” “I’m encouraged right now because of the reaction of the country,” he said. “The country has been so supportive. And for us because we didn’t know what we were going to do during — after the fire. We didn’t know what reaction we were going to have but now I’m so encouraged right now and I’m so elated about the reaction that they had … The people that gave, the people that supported us. I can only be just joyful.”
Lemon noted “criticism” the president has received for not speaking sooner.
“Some people thought it was a little too late, but it’s good now that the administration has acknowledged it,” he said. “And do you think that they’re going to help? Do you feel satisfied with this?”
The response
quote:
“Well, I’m optimistic, Don,” Richard answered. “I feel like after this tragedy the country is coming together. I appreciate the fact that Mr. Trump did acknowledge the fact that we had this tragedy down here in Louisiana and I was encouraged today when Mr. Pence came and visited with us. I respect our leadership. One thing I know, Don, that if you’re going to be a leader, you’ve got to acknowledge the suffering of Christ. If that’s where his heart is I believe that we are going to be helped.”

Trump gets glowing reviews from UK media. US news focuses on BabyBlimp & protests instead

Trump gets mostly glowing reviews from UK media, while US coverage focuses on Baby Blimp, protests
By David Montanar
June 5, 2019
While President Trump has received largely positive local coverage of his visit to the United Kingdom, the American media has stayed focused on the negative, Joe Concha said Wednesday on "Fox & Friends."
Concha, of The Hill and WOR radio, said the mainstream media's coverage has been consumed by the protests of Trump's visit, even though the demonstrations "are about a third as large" as last summer.
"All we're seeing, basically, is this Trump Baby Blimp, which is getting more coverage than the O.J. Bronco. I see this thing constantly. ... It's typical of what we've seen with Trump. If it's negative, that's the way we're gonna go," he said.
Concha compared the disparity in the coverage by the British and American media with the Jussie Smollett case, where the Chicago media was presenting a different picture than the national media.
Concha said Trump has come across as a "strong leader" and "competent" in his appearances alongside Prime Minister Theresa May and Queen Elizabeth II.

Journalism Job Cuts Haven't Been This Bad Since Recession...
(Bloomberg) -- The news business is on pace for its worst job losses in a decade as about 3,000 people have been laid off or been offered buyouts in the first five months of this year.
The cuts have been widespread. Newspapers owned by Gannett and McClatchy, digital media companies like BuzzFeed and Vice Media, and the cable news channel CNN have all shed employees.
FoxNews has had to cut quite a few employees, too, but that was because they were sexually harassing folks.

Exhibit B: NBC News:
As everyone knows by now, earlier today a reporter (I use the word loosely) asked Mitch McConnell if he was aware that two of his great-great-grandfathers were slave owners in Alabama before the Civil War.
McConnell had a great quip ready, knowing in advance that the MSM was going to try to attack him on this revelation. So McConnell replies, "I find myself once again in the same position as President Obama. We both oppose reparations and we both are the descendants of slave owners"
That's some O.G. stuff right there. Witty. Succinct. And 100% true.
So how does NBC report on this tonight? Behold:quote:
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Tuesday confirmed that he is a descendant of slave owners and reiterated that he still opposes government reparations for descendants of American slaves.
Complete and utter bias in reporting.
Why were you googling “Clinton and Epstein”?
Looking for confirmation bias? But instead just discovered how much Trump liked him. Lol
If you try Bing and Yahoo and other search engines, you get similar results, so your Google conspiracy theory doesn’t really hold water.
Because it is well known that Clinton and Epstein were big buds.. He made several trips with Epstein on his private jet. A couple of trips were sans Secret Service Detail. Epstein was a big democrat donor and had relationships with many powerful people in Washington. Early attempts by media tried to tie Trump and Epstein as big buds.. but that was not able to stick.Quote:

But I'm sure you would call videos of C-execs of google admitting to this as fake news..Quote:

It is pretty good then that the Internet threw a bucket of cold water on your effort to find confirmation of your faulty opinion. Usually, the Internet is good at providing confirmation of bias. Backfired on you this time, but it is an opportunity to grow.Quote:

Slick Willy is a scum bucket, sleaze bag...that is not news, except to Goosey who thinks Billy Boy is an angel (which he doesn't even believe in).Quote:

After Epstein's conviction in 2008, the Clintons maintained contact until 2010, when they claim to have cut off ties prior to their ugly daughter's wedding. But, the recruiter woman was invited to the wedding.
Of course, we say "claim" to have cut ties because they are such hardcore liars. More likely Slick Boy has just done a good job of keeping his on-going relationship with Epstein and his "Disney World" Island, under wraps.
If it's evil....the Clintons did it. Period.
Trump quote:
"I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy," "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

There is media bias and to deny that is being intellectually dishonest..Quote:

Google’s mission statement is “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” Having listened to Google execs on earnings conference calls, senior management constantly emphasizes this point. There is no way that this message should be lost on any Google employee. However, users are not generally looking for false information that is being put out by actors that are deliberately promoting false publications and trying to abuse search algorithms to elevate to increase their views. These companies don’t want to police content on their platform (they want to make it easier for users to find the content they seek), but in a world where content generators are abusing the platform and undermining the mission of Google/Alphabet, they have to sort that out somehow.
