You have no concept of objectivity. How can you tell? I shall ignore your personal attack I did not claim to be able to tell. I would have thought my point was clear. Just because someone gets overwhelmingly negative media coverage does not mean that is bias.

Trump is an unorthodox President but the left wing, identity politics obsessed media are intent on undermining him. I hear the BBS calling.

Bias isn't about a right or wrong political opinion, it is about siding with a set of beliefs. Bias towards Trump is shown in right wing media and bias against him in......well, the vastly more left wing news media in general.

The most obvious example of anti-Trump bias is that we've only ever heard about him, while Putin is killing people in Syria and now Britain. You could argue the gun lobby are killing through Trump but all you really hear is how good Medicare is for example, despite the US's insurance, private and public healthcare spending all being the highest per capita in the world. It's too easy to hate him for the policy without understanding it.

Yes, the 15 billionaires who own the media certainly got there by being left wing, sharing, individuals. You do make me titter

They want to control the thoughts of the gullible while bathing in their own wealth. Trump is filthy rich but he is a maverick. The establishment is happy for the US to fill up with Mexicans so they can exploit their cheap labour and divide the population.

Nothing wrong with Mexicans BTW.

Who gives a s*** about the owners? I could talk about that at length but it would be going off on a tangent. What matters is the fact that the vast majority of media outlets are left wing. I repeat, Trump had nothing like even treatment and was out spent two to one.

What proof are you providing that the vast majority of media outlets are left wing. It would appear that Mapletree suggests that right wing owners would want their possessions to reflect their views. For example, Sky News and Fox, but I suppose for some those channels could be called left wing.
