[QUOTE="jstaylor62, post: 3168650, member: 6870"] I think people are sick and tired of the national media's outrageous examples of political bias towards President Trump and are just expressing a "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" moment. The bias has been displayed since the very few hours of the Trump Presidency when Zeke Miller of [I]Time[/I] magazine tweeted that the Winston Churchill bust was on display in the Oval Office instead of the Martin Luther King bust. Come to find out, the bust was still there, but was obscured from view by an open door and Secret Service Agent. But Miller's hatred for Trump was so blinding, he quickly sent a tweet making his claim before taking the time to actually verify the bust was missing. He tweeted a correction and apologized to his colleagues for the error, but never seem to apologize to man who's reputation he impugned. Later, others in the media simply commented he made a mistake. Would he have made the same mistake with a Democratic President? Regardless of the countless examples of politically biased reporting, the members of the media refuse to step back and look at their own house. Does the media in America even have any professional ethics left? I know the media in Oklahoma has displayed lack of journalistic ethics. A local car dealership was fined a record $350,000 for airing deceptive and misleading commercials. But since they bought commercial time and provided cars, not a single story was aired or published. Why should we trust the stories they do publish when you discover the stories they intentionally don't run or even cover at all. [/QUOTE]
