Just more proof that you dont understand the word patriotism.
A patriot would be concerned about ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN efforts to influence the US presidential election for their own ends and ignoring the massive corruption and repeated failures and lies of Hillary Clinton.
Just wondering why Fox/FoxNews is also not on this list. You do not think they are biased towards the TGOP?
Hint they are.. and they shape views for the TGOP. FoxNews is MSM no matter how much they try to deny it.
I'll be happy to agree that Fox is biased toward the republicans, if you are willing to admit that the others are biased toward the democrats.
I do think that MSNBC is a super cheerleader for the DNC. How they are on the air is amazing to me.
just like FoxNews is the cheerleader for RNC
ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN I do agree tend to lean to the DNC. But I also think they would flip the script to the other side, much quicker if there was a major issue.
However, talk radio (which is also part of the media) is all the way for TGOP. I guess news print is lean towards DNC.. but I think it is very close to 50/50 depending on where you are.
My point is that todays media shapes the views of everyone. That is the problem with the 24 hour media. Unlike when I was a kid, and it was the evening news for 30-60 minutes, it was more direct and less promotion of views.

it's one thing for the NYT to do this and to do it in the right way. it's a whole different ballgame when these guys are doing it with ulterior motives.

He only investigates the USA. That's it. He's not a real journalist.
Isn't that a big enough target to occupy his full attention?
By your definition, someone who only investigates Trump but not Hillary, or only Hillary but not Trump, cannot be a real journalist, nor can a news organization that only investigates one, and whitewashes the other, be a real news organization. Is that what you truly mean to be saying? If so, then we have no real journalists or news organizations in the USA. Come to think of it, you just might be right on that.
He said he has stuff on Trump as well. But Trump doesn't hide his politics in secret emails, he just says what he thinks at rallies. So there's nothing to see so far.

Fox is biased in favor of the Republican establishment. Trump is an outsider, so they cut him little slack. Trump is the only candidate trying save us from a very rigged WAS DC.

Well when you are the world's only superpower you are going to get extra scrutiny?
As an American citizen I applaud all efforts to clean up our act and weed out any corruption we can.
it's pathetic that the cons defend this.
I can't think of a more blatant example of #teamovercountry
So you'd have rathered the rank corruption and the rigging of the Primary process by the DNC not come to light? Cause you know those involved were never going to admit it, or bring it to light.

Well its like he said. He's for team over country or even his own party.

this post if the epitome of stupid. if your definition of "real investigative journalism" involves someone who couldn't possibly make his bias/agenda more obvious and acts dangerously and recklessly then I really don't know what to say. other than the fact that your low standards of "real investigative journalism" make me question the legitimacy of anything you will ever have to say.

The most blatant example of #teamovercountry is the fact that you are more upset about who exposed the corruption of your nominee and your party than you are the corruption of your nominee and your party. THAT my childish friend is the most blatant example of #teamovercountry
