I am new here. Are MSM all Republicans because what they do to President Biden was

[Murphyb849]

Not done to Trump. President Biden was left a steaming sack of crap on his desk from TFG and I can't even watch the news for all the remarks made against our President. Is this new or business as usual?

1. So are they just supposed to coverup this mess? There's not one Democrat, in

office, who has come out to say everything is fine in Afghanistan. Some folks are saying the media is denying them access. Don’t think so.

8. They don't seem to want to talk about Trump's complicity in creating the situation

At least, not based on what people are posting here, I won't actually watch that crap IRL.

You don't have to say "Everything is fine" in order to discuss how Trump's foreign policy incompetence directly led to this situation.

And a booking agent has come out and said nobody will book pro-Biden voices for interviews, story was posted here like 50 times yesterday. Are you saying they're lying?

[Hoyt]

12. The POS trump is out of office. Ever heard of Last Clear Chance Defense?

Biden could have rectified everything trump screwed up regarding Afghanistan, but for some reason he did not.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

14. If he wanted another surge, and to commit to many more years of occupation, MAYBE ...

Undoing all the deals that started going down between the Afghan forces and the Taliban that Trump's Doha agreement instigated would NOT have been a simple matter as you seem to be suggesting.

Trump totally undermined the Afghan government and military force we spent 20 years building, and I'm very confused as to why you don't see that, or want to say a word about it, nor think the media or Democrats should be talking about that.

[Hoyt]

17. Yeah, but he ended up sending in more troops anyway, while refugees fall

from the sky. Totally unnecessary.

Bet he ends up sending in even more troops too.

[Demsrule86]

19. Biden didn't create this mess ...again. And Democrats didn't come out and defend the ACA either...

and look where that got us. This is not Joe Biden's doing. I feel your criticisms are unfair.

[CottonBear]

2. Main stream media business as usual. NT

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. This is pretty common for the MSM to do.

Their corporate owners are mainly republican and so they want to support TFG. That's it in a nutshell.

BTW, Welcome to DU!

[2naSalit]

13. I think the MIC is putting some pressure on them too...

There's a whole lot of war profiteering that will be ending now and they don't like that part.

[Murphyb849]

16. Thanks

[snowybirdie]

4. They are pro

ratings. The exciting stories are pushed rather than calm, competent government.

[KS Toronado]

5. First off.....welcome to DU!

Keep in mind it's the super rich that own the networks, rich people hate paying taxes so they typically
donate to & vote reQublicOn, so yea most of MSM is normally biased against Democrats.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

6. Business as usual ... Dems are always held to a ridiculous standard by the M$M

And the GQP is not.

But their biggest concern is very clearly eyeballs and clicks, which means a lot of sensationalizing/trying to spin up maximum controversy.

The M$M doesn't even want to hear from pro-Biden voices right now.

7. Welcome to DU!

I think the smarter POTUS's know they're raising their hands to become the press' punching bag. When it is all settled down, he'll be a hero for stopping the occupation.

The news needs blood to sell cars. Nothing new, there.

[LanternWaste]

9. Whatever it takes to get ratings, regardless of party and at the expense of accuracy.

There is for-profit.

There is journalism.

The two cannot work together faithfully.

See: Ben Bagdikian's well-sourced book, 'The Media Monopoly')

10. Don't worry, you'll find many DUers cravenly slop up the same talking points.

I think it's agenda driven. I know what the MSM's agenda is, but I'm not going to speculate on some of those DUers who seem to ignore the fact Biden was handed a no-win situation.

[Murphyb849]

18. He has been handed multiple no win situations.

[Ocelot II]

11. No, not necessarily. But stirring up controversy sells more air time,

newspapers and advertising.
