    I wouldn't be giving Fox a "Get Out of Jail" card by saying, "They try to walk a fine line there." As I made clear in the OP of this thread, probably 98% of the reporting that is done on Trump, whether positive or negative, is based off of Trump doing something stupid himself, or the campaign backpedaling. It is the "cause-and-effect" mechanism. Trump is the "Cause," the coverage is the "Effect." And most of the reporting Trump deserves.

    I've learned more from 4 episodes of Hardball than I ever did from O'Reilly's gibberish in 4 years.

    And the "tolerant" right-wing peeps at Fox cannot tolerate opposing viewpoints either. Just look at that circus act they call, "The Five."

    Sure, Hillary's stupidity goes unnoticed or apologized. A woman that can't remember anything, never knew how to handle classified information, and can't figure out how to use a PC. Yet every word Trump utters comes under left wing media scrutiny. No bias there.

    Such FAIL. I am sure you think an opposing viewpoint is 'intolerance'. Liberal logic 101.

    Thanks for showing that arrogant liberal attitude for anyone that isn't considered a limousine liberal.

    Depends on what Trump is saying. I believe if you asked Trump, and he were honest, he'd say he's being a democrat in drag.

    Hillary has actually received a good amount of bashing. See how Joe Scarborough goes after her sometime.

    Care to try again? Anything Gutfeld says makes a bowel movement seem more pleasant.

    LOL, a good amount of bashing like asking her how her Labor Day was when reporters finally had access to ask her a question.

    If you knew anything about elections, you'd know people actually start paying attention to the election starting Labor Day weekend.

    That may be your POV but they are still the most trusted name in news and, therefore, mainstream.

    So you want the media to come to a conclusion for you?
    The media can say don't go to Olympic games because of Zika, yet the games were still held.
    Fact is fact. The opinion whether to go to the Olympic games bad, or good was up to you.

    That's not bias no more then the fact Trump(or whomever makes that t-shirt) obviously didn't pay the station to get endorsed, nor does Nike, Sean john,Target, Addias, etc, get to have there product shown for free if they don't pay.
    Did you always think the blur in news was because of an obscene nature? heh, nope nice try though. The media biased against coke cans?..or have you noticed the labels are always turned away from cameras.

    In that case do you blame the media, Trump the bus driver, or your self for getting on the Trump bus? (not a direct question to you, to the readers)

    Really? I suppose you can provide an example of CNN/Headline News blurring out a product label, or more to the point a Hillary Clinton Campaign T-Shirt. I'll be waiting for your samples.

    Not even close. If negative coverage came from people's actions Hillary would be 24/7 coverage. And if being stupid was the key Joe Biden would be covered wall to wall.

    There is a definite bias against Trump. The wealthy oligarchs who own the media are frightened they will lose control over the government so they need to campaign for Hillary every chance they get.

    Heh...I don't even know what to type into google to find that...but If you truly have never seen this.
    You can ask the wizards here:
    http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r23263015-Why-Do-TV-Networks-Blur-Out-Signs-And-Logos

    Or refer to classic:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_displacement

    "Product displacement is the removing of trademarked products from primarily visual media in order to avoid the payment of licensing fees, if the trademark owner objects, or if the broadcaster would prefer not to publicise a product for free, if the owners have not paid for it to be included in a programme.[1]

    Product displacement can also refer to brands/companies deliberately modifying their name or logo in an attempt to make people see the logo and realize that the logo/name is not correct. This extra thinking time forces people to register the real brand. This method can be more effective than product placement.[2]
    ]"

    But yes, I have seen Obama shirts blurred out on random news casts, or even that talk radio never mentions someone's position they support may be wearing a Democrat shirt. Never made a note to record it.

    I wouldn't be surprised to find out people that think like you never earned a title.
    Context is whats important. I want my doctor, or etc. to have a pompous degree.
    Most can skate by on half assed education/experience, cheap even.
    Where would you like your crime solver to have gotten his forensics degree?
    Journalism...I fit in with forensics knowledge, and would like them to be required to have fancy schmansy schooling...unfortunately they gotta make good money...and unless you want media government regulated, you get what you get.

    What is left wing indoctrinated collage? In your opinion?
    What is the deviation you see that makes you say they were brainwashed? Myself I would call your thinking process brainwashed.
    They gotta make money.
