Media Bias

This has been discussed twice beforeHere's something we can talk about without bring up the "T" word. Do you agree with this graph? I think CNN is treated a little too kindly but otherwise it is pretty much correct.
And in that discussion, we all noted that this chart was created by some random dude and he based it only on his opinion.
But Trump lies, right?
The person that came up with the chart isn't very creditable in this particular area. She has no training or experience and she admits that it's based on her opinion for the most part. She just does this as a hobby.
One, it was a chick and two, I noted it. I'm not sharing credit. Don't be trying to pass out credit to other people. This board isn't socialist.
I have opined on this before. But you can have all the credit and $5 if you get Lyles to quit bitching about Trump.
I don't remember it, so it didn't happen.
If saving money on his tax return doesn't stop him, I never will.
I'm confused. Are you saying you're a bad investor or just haven't sold anything this year?
So you're a bad investor. Makes sense given your other comments about the economy and the market. DJ is down YTD, S&P is about flat and NASDAQ is up. Not really a "down market" unless you expected it to continue to skyrocket like last year or all you invested in was the DJ. Had you'd been smart, you would have invested on the way up. That way you would have made money like everyone else. It doesn't really matter though, because the president has almost zero impact on the market long term.
Selling low. Sounds like a path to riches.
Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he's just harvesting some losses to offset all his gains over the past year.
Please do. I'm trying to make sure you can end up with more spending money on your next trip.
It's almost too easy to make these ABT'ers look foolish. If Obama was President and all the economic indicators were trending up like they are, Libs would be shouting it from the rooftops. They are completely blinded by their hatred.
I won't speak to the chart, but to the general concept of media bias. A couple years ago, I picked up this book at a library book sale. It was a good read. Media bias has been present since colonial times and Sam Adams.
What could be more problematic is that people will selectively read and listen only to reports and articles that reinforce their own beliefs. While I can admit to my own biases, my closest friends represent some pretty broad political and religious beliefs, so while we may disagree on things, I still hear different viewpoints. I do not, however, hang around with Duke fans, so I don't have to listen to their prattle. LOL.

In this day and time you need to be able to tell the difference between news and opinion.
Most media report the news correctly but a lot of people have a problem separating the news from what follows the news, which is an opinion. If they report "Congress passes a bill", that's the news. Everything after that is opinion. Just quoting what someone says is not fake news.
This. Being biased does not = lying.
This is why it's hard to take anyone spouting "fake news" seriously.
