Media Bias

[L'Emmerdeur]

Rebel News

In review, The Rebel routinely publishes news with loaded emotional wording that favors the right, such as this: "Why Trudeau’s Liberals are pretending THIS gun control study doesn’t exist" and this "Cops bundle up angry left wing student in taped meltdown". Both of these stories are linked to strongly right leaning sources such as Campus Reform. In general, most stories the favor the right and denigrate the left. Further, The Rebel has been accused of stirring up anti-Muslim hate according to the right leaning, The National. Some writers for The Rebel have also been profiled by the left leaning Southern Poverty Law Center for promoting hate.

When it comes to sourcing, The Rebel does hyperlink to outside sources, but many times they attempt to source within their domain to increase web traffic.

Overall, we rate The Rebel Right Biased based on story selection that always favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to poor sourcing techniques and consistent one sided reporting.

Cunt reads RWNJ media? Must be a mishtake, surely? He's left wing.

I used to enjoy eating in Supermac's but then they started selling Papa John pizzas and I can't support anyone who supports Trump so they're on the sizable boycott list.

It's a shame. They're nicer than most of the American fast food restaurants.

Wow, that is much more comprehensive than my (possibly unclear)

...I was recently drawn to Rebel News, because of some (probably over-dramatised) confrontations between them and government....


Don't get me wrong - they are as 'right-biased' as could be, but it makes a bit of a nice contrast. Lots of the media joins in condemning the oil sector, for example, but Rebel has me wondering if stopping Canadian oil production is altruistic and 'green', or if foreign interests might be encouraging (maybe even sponsoring) the interference.

Thanks for letting me know it is 'right leaning' and that 'left leaning' sources don't rate it 'charming'.

Since it is so tough to get most lefties to even identify their 'left-radical-fringe', I'm not sure what I'm supposed to take from this though.

You asked about news rating services, and I linked to one, giving a pertinent example of their style of analysis. Just no winning with you.

what an asshole move.. I forgot. Iam sorry.

I forgot. Iam sorry.

No problem. I certainly can't claim to have a perfect short term memory, so I understand.

Is the media bias observable depending on how they treat teens ?

Is Judicial Watch a place to see media bias?

It sounds an awful lot like they just got a US District Court Judge to grant their request to depose a former SecState (Clinton) about her emails & Benghazi.

Judicial Watch uncovered the Clinton email scandal and we're pleased that the court authorized us to depose Mrs. Clinton directly on her email conduct and how it impacted the people's 'right to know' under FOIA

Gees, with that and FISA abuse, it looks like revenge of the acronyms.

Was the Coors shooter dropped quickly from the news cycle because of media bias? Is it a bad time for a gun-control narrative?

[pErvinalia]

Does Cunt ask a series of random questions in all his posts?

[Cunt]

You are biased media.

[Hermit]

Was the Coors shooter dropped quickly from the news cycle because of media bias?

Was he dropped from the news cycle at all? I just typed "anthony ferrill" into Google's search box and set Google to show results published in the past 24 hours only. It came back, clutching 50 of them. Publishers included New York Times, USA Today, ABC News, Chicago Tribune, NPR, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ...

Is it a bad time for a gun-control narrative?

Why should it be?

[Hermit]

Does Cunt ask a series of random questions in all his posts?

A lot of them are not questions despite the fact that they end with a question mark. Example from our member from Yellowknife's above post:

Was the Coors shooter dropped quickly from the news cycle because of media bias?

It makes the positive statement, the Coors shooter was dropped quickly from the news cycle, followed by a spot of well poisoning, because of media bias. The question mark is a tactical device aimed at making it difficult for people to tell Daggles that he is spreading bullshit yet again, for he'll point out that he did not write "the Coors shooter dropped quickly from the news cycle" nor did he say the story was quickly dropped "because of media bias". He merely "asked" a question. Read all about it in Dishonest Rhetoric 101.


Similarly, his next question,

Is it a bad time for a gun-control narrative?

is a poorly disguised statement. An honest debater would have written something like this: "The Coors shooter dropped quickly from the news cycle because of media bias. The bias is in favour of gun control. The shooting does not fit arguments in favour of gun control." Or words to that effect. You need to have a bit of courage to say exactly what you think and have your opinions shot down in flames when they turned out to be wrong. Not everybody has it.

I'll say that the suggestion that made me ask, is that some shootings are ignored in favour of others, to pump up gun sales via public fear of more gun laws.

There does seem to be themes about gun violence, that show off certain stories, while ignoring overall shootings in Chicago over an average weekend.

It would look racist, if the word meant anything.
