Does the media have a conservative bias?


Does the media have a conservative bias? Daily we hear about Hillary Clinton deleting 30,000 emails, but rarely do we hear that Bush had Karl Rove delete over 22 million emails. From 2003 to 2009 the bush team deleted 22 millions, which allegedly included information about false claims about the Iraqi war, claims about Iraq having WMD which were false and the firing of US attorneys for political payback, which would make Chris Christie's Bridge Gate look like child's play.  We just learned that President Trump's senior staff used a private email server, a fact largely ignored by the news media.

Now we hear that Trump Strategist Stephen Bannon says the media should keep its mouth shut.  This is the same Bannon who for 8 years wrote critical articles on Obama and democrats in Breitbart News,  a far-right American news, opinion and commentary website founded in 2007 by conservative commentator and entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart. Also the Fox News pundits like Bill O'Reilly repeatitally said that its un-American to write critical things of a sitting president when Bush Jr was president but apparently forgot that when Obama was President.

Donald Trump is now being critical of people protesting Trump policies, but wasn’t it Theodore Roosevelt who said “Patriotism means to stand by the country.  It does not mean to stand by the president."

Republicans didn't allow Obama to appoint anyone to the Supreme Court and Ted Cruz said they won't allow Clinton to do it either.  This is unprecedented and barely reported on by the "liberal media."  The media should be taking republicans to the woodshed for this, but the won't because then they'd be called "liberally biased."  So they ignore how Obama wasn't given the chance to appoint anyone to the Supreme Court and Hillary if she wins won't be able to either.


CNN hires Tara Setmayer and former Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. MSNBC hires radio host Hugh Hewitt, GOP consultant Steve Schmidt and former RNC chairman Michael Steele and even puts an ad out with the line, "People might start accusing us of leaning too far to the right."


The "liberal media" reports on Bengnazi daily, even though they barely reported on Beirut when 260 men were killed under Ron Reagan or the 60 Americans who were killed in embassy attacks under Bush. No republican, democrat or media member called for hearings on Beirut or embassy attacks under Bush.   The liberal media barely report on the 22 million emails that disappeared under Bush Jr but report on Hillary's missing 33K emails daily. Maybe instead of calling them liberally biased media they call the media inept.

Speaking of being inept, isn't that what Trump's plans for battling terrorists are?  Recently he banned those living in Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from traveling here.  But the problem with that ban is that none of those country's citizen's have killed an American since 1975. The same can't be said for those who are from Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Lebanon who have been involved in every terror attack against America since 1975.  I guess Trump has some conflict of interest investments with Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Lebanon otherwise why wouldn't he have banned travel from those countries which have had citizens who carried not terror attacks against America.  What's even more shocking is no member of the media has asked that question of Trump or anyone on his cabinet.

The media should be asking why Trump  banned those living in Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from traveling here but didn't ban those who are from Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Lebanon who have been involved in every terror attack against America since 1975 from coming here? The media should also ask why Donald Trump wants to lift sanctions against Russia?  John McCain is asking why Trump wants to lift sanctions against Russia, but the answer should be obvious to the media.  Putin the President of Russia helped get Trump elected and in return Trump will lift sanctions against Russia.  Also Trump has business involvements in terror-supporting countries like Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Lebanon which is why he hasn't banned travel from those countries.  Why isn't the media asking those questions?  Oh yeah, there's reality TV for them to cover.  Even Dick Cheney condemns President Trumps muslim travel ban, saying it "goes against everything we stand for."
