Why do people complain about left wing bias in the media?

Question

http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk

The reason I ask the question is that the only real socialist newspaper is the morning star.

Answer 1

I only complain about left wing bias when it comes in the form of the BBC, and I am forced to pay for it, everything else is personal choice.

Answer 2

Because the news media is run by people like ben afflek and bill gates.  Thouse left wing commies would like to run this country into the ground.  They dont understand what it means to be a proud american nobody does.  All they do is think about burning flags.

Answer 3

u mean the only real socialist newspaper claiming to not be fair or balanced

but if u dont see it, chances are you never will

for instance, watch for a man pretecting his family by shooting an intruder, they make the intruder sound like the victim

they always speak with a bad tone about things they dont like, u will see it if u think about it a bit harder

Answer 4

Because they confuse left-wing bias with decency, so that reported instaces of decency, for example, where individuals are given free_emergency_treatment on the NHS engender endless bile in their newspapers (The Daily Mail and Express).

Answer 5

Because its easy and it makes the Right wingers feel good about themselves.

Answer 6

Exactly and even the BBC is nowhere near left wing. The media in this country is definitely more right wing than anything else. It's quite unbelievable how right wing it is. To call the media in the UK left wing or "liberal" in the US is absolutely absurd.

Answer 7

because the right wing only likes stuff that only pushes their propaganda rather than real news. or at minimum distracts from the real news that is happening.

Answer 8

There's a huge left-wing bias in the worldwide media.  And it's bad because the media rules the world and what we need are real journalists.

Do you really work for the BBC?

Answer 9

The allies are currently unsuccessful.

Answer 10

Aren't you forgetting The Mirror and the BBC is so blatantly left wing that it's embarrassing.

Answer 11

Those on the right complain the media has a left wing bias

Those on the left complain the media has a right wing bias

That is because of bias!!

The Morning Star is a state-capitalist newspaper.

Answer 12

please compare the ammount of coverage between mccain and obama

Answer 13

Because they are n***s.

They fail to understand that the history of human society is one of struggle between classes, that revolution is the motor that has driven human progress.

They fear that the rising bourgeoisie will smash the old, restrictive feudal society in order to unleash new productive forces that could massively increase society’s wealth.

Answer 14

Everything in the media is hand-wringing liberal left "we must give more Billions to these poor little mites". The West is in a recession - HELLO !! We can't afford any more waste on non-productive projects. Bring back time and motion studies, lol.

Answer 15

You never hear about the Iraq war when things are going in our favor.  Only when it's looking bad for us.

Answer 16

"Why do people complain about left wing bias in the media?"

Well being a Leftie as you are wouldn't you complain if there was a "Right-Wing" bias in the press? I'm sure you would.

Answer 17

I had to stop watching Peter Jennings on ABC tv in the US back in the mid 80s because of the way he would smirk and scowl when reporting a Republican's tax cut proposal.
