https://www.businessinsider.com/mos...n-america-cnn-fox-nytimes-2018-8#15-npr-12-15 - Ranks 2nd behind PBS. If PBS has polls that currently show Trump is popular then you win.

https://libapps.s3.amazonaws.com/accounts/243/images/BiasChart.jpg - AP at the very top of fact reporting and central.

These are literally the top results on google when you type "what media has bias".

Not sure how many more facts we need here.

Guys, I think we should stop arguing against these polls. Dadika has obviously thoroughly researched it, and if PBS, Google and Business Insider say it is so, it must be so.

Your first link shows that NPR is unbiased. Also shows that WaPo and NYT are only moderately left. Zero credibility found here.

your second link is just a report of a Gallup poll. Gallup polls are biased as fuk. No credibility found here either.

Your third link states that ABC and CBS skew to the right. Enough said.

So thanks for 3 worthless sources. Please try again or just admit that you are high as giraffe pussy and just screwing around here.

Anything it takes to screw Bernie out of the nomination. The fact that the DNC hates him this much is really just proof that he’s the best candidate.

This is a good point, I voted for Bernie over Hillary in the 2016 primary. The whole enemy of my enemy is my friend type logic.

I haven't ventured over to reddit's r/politics yet today to see what they have to say, but I'll need to do that soon for some comedic relief. That place is is a bigger better cesspool than packpride when it comes to getting some schadenfreude from deranged individuals.

I'm so happy that I'm here to learn from sages like @UNC71-00 and his ever knowing mind.

Coping and pasting a few tweets > scanning hundreds of thousands of pages on sites to you. Knowing how you feel about certain subjects, this makes sense.

I'm arguing something that goes against Trump, you think I'm surprised at the people who have commented to stand up for him? Come on.

Eh not really. Everyone here is going back and forth about biases, which is child's play. I want to bask in tears now that the Dem primary has broken down before it could even begin.

I don't know, man. @UNC71-00 magically intuited that Trump had the highest ever recorded turnout in the Iowa caucuses (no polls necessary). Then @uncboy10 declared the Iowa confusion to be proof that Bernie is the best candidate. I'd say we have a pretty high "deranged individuals" per capita on ye ole OOTB.

Hmm, I wonder why Trump's spending plan was characterized as problematic? There couldn't possibly be any reason other than bias. Couldn't be.

By insinuating one 4 trillion dollar spending plan as good and another as bad, the AP is showing bias. That’s the argument here.

Trump has the highest number of votes cast ever in an Iowa caucus. Please explain how stating this is “deranged”, unless it doesn’t fit your preconceived notions (also known as bias)

facts is facts, unless it’s Dadika pontificating about the AP.

I‘m going to a start a non-biased AP thread in your honor.
 
@dadika13 How many examples of biased AP reporting do I have to show before you will admit the AP is biased?

FTR- I don’t care. All media outlets are all biased. Just don’t try to sell me on the notion that any of them aren’t.

He’s not taking you to task for saying something that goes against Trump. He’s taking you to task for the credibility you’re putting in media that he finds to only appear credible but aren’t really.

@dadika13 never claimed these sources weren't biased. All news sources are biased. He was simply commenting on the relative biases of different sources and you guys have completely lost your shit over the notion.

Thank you.

If any prior posts say "they aren't biased" then I take that back and misspoke. The point I'm trying to make is I try to use sources that rank as the least biased in an INCREDIBLY biased world.

Because what some of you think is "bias" is actually context.

ETA: I'm tired of being coy, and you dumbasses lack the intellectual curiosity to figure it out, so here's the answer key.

Trump's record $4.4 billion spending proposal was announced two weeks after a $1.5 billion tax cut. Hence a headline that mentions "deficits" is not only relevant but contextually important to the story.

I'm not asking you to prove it, you maroon.

I'm pointing out that the source of that information was from a poll, which you offered up immediately after telling everyone they were gullible for believing in polls. It's no wonder you didn't get the Guyana joke.

It’s because I don’t remember the source and I’m not going to search for where I saw it while at dinner.

Quit being an asshole.

(also, headlines in tweets have nothing to do with contextual bias, no matter how intellectually curious you may be. That's a different topic and I would be happy to have that conversation)

Thanks for calling me an imbecile. (also, I didn't get my information from a poll,you needledick. A poll and a vote tally are two different things, and I made it clear to which I was referring)

I really don't know what your ****ing problem is but you have my number and you are welcome to text me and tell me what's up.



My entire point is that all news sources are biased. @dadika13 trying to pretend like the AP is the least biased is like claiming that the hooker on the corner has been tapped less than any other hooker in the city and is therefore worthy of taking home to meet the parents. Perhaps I should find a way to express this concept in a way which is more intellectually stimulating to you, but I wasn't actually expecting you to participate in a political discussion, for reasons expressed by you in the past.
 
So anyways @Hark_The_Sound_2010 I though the best part of this whole Iowa caucus debacle has been Mayor Pete claiming victory until I read that Biden was going to file an injunction.
