Media bias? You bet! I loathe and despise most of them.

Obama: If GOP Candidates Can't Handle CNBC Moderators, How Will They Deal With Russia, China? A current article by Leah Barkoukis

My Answer is this: If Media Can't handle the righteous but still kid glove clobberinig along the rejection how are they going to report on the the handling of Russia and China?

I have to go with Tom Clancy on this one. Reporters are not Journalists. They are propagandists. There are no journalist in the fringe areas such as Socialists, Democrats, and Rinos and especially the wing nuts in Secular Progressive (another name for educarted at Berkeley. The quote from one of his books is "Why should I trust you? You are a reporter." Some people take chump change and some are just Chung'd.

Fact is journalism is one thing and the rest is garden variety spin, deceit and propaganda. One can get a degree a doctorate even in that field. That's the touch feely cognitive fact of the matter. But don't take my word for it...Ask your friends and neighbors and the occasional disciples and agents of SP. Just to get anothe rview point and a good laugh at the same time. I'm of the opinion cognitate should be replaced by cogitate. That's what old farts do when they are chewing and prior to every spit offer some bit of wisdom. Red Man versus Skoal or Anthracite versus Bituminous or balanced versus unbalanced...surplus versus Sir might I have another plus? I'm very hungry.

Your turn. The subject is the media and your opinion of their value and worth. Are there any journalists left? Who are they? Is Journalism taught anywhere - besides Hillsdale?

Education, Philosophy or Humor. Tough call how about Culture, Lack of.

    Why would a journalist be held to higher standards than say, a judge? or an elected Senator/Congressman or President? Since these positions are no longer considered sacred (as in sanctity), if they no longer represent integrity, fairness and an honest endeavor to execute the job according to the Constitution and uphold and apply the law in a balanced and equal manner- then why should we expect anything more from these declared sensationalists?

    I firmly believe that a great number of journalist have crowned themselves adjudicators of the truth. That they are the manufacturers of false testimony. That they breed contempt. That they dishonor all citizens. That they are traitors to their trade. That they are perpetrators of violence.

    These journalist/media reporters are finally coming full circle and will (and should be made to) reap what they have sown. We the people have allowed these parasites to exist and thrive.
    It is now our responsibility to dethrone them and expose them for what they are. Save the few that have stood firm and have brought honor to their profession.

      A Journalist isn't held to high standards. Why should a reporter be held to any standards I would have said, "They aren't. They don't have any. They can hood wink and distort all they want. Since they chose to be called reporters, journalists took the other name. One is a slur and the other an accolade.

        I get your point.
        Here is mine:
        You and I came from an era when journalism was a highly respected profession with strict standards. Journalist were respected and expected to report the truth as it was without opinion or interference...
        That is long gone. However, I am referring to the way it should be not the way it has become.
        It is this position of privilege that millions give to reporters that I am attempting to criticize and debunk.
        It is this reality that has caused you to write this post. A reality that has caused the Republican candidates to object to the absurdity.
