First of all, it seems the usual view is that the media is biased to liberals, so saying the "media" is biased against conservative views in general is an easy argument, right? And we must be sure there is "media" out there, not the alt-right stuff, but legitimate media, media with some integrity, not hate media or silly alien "National Enquirer conspiracy theory media, that is not biased that way, right?
Nevertheless, listening to Fox News is my way of getting straight to the contradictions in our media, at least in Fox News
Fox News, about 11:15AM 21 Nov 2016 had a crew of paid consulting talking heads discuss how the media sounds biased against Tweety Trump, suggesting it is just like 8 years ago when "people" (not identified; maybe Congress?) came out "biased" against Obama's ideology, not his words.
YES, REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS came out "biased" against Obama's ideology saying their first priority is to Block fours years of Obama efforts. The Republican Congress spent the next 8 years blocking Obama's every initiative the best they could.
Today, the only thing Democrats have come out against, the only thing Democrats are not willing to "normalize," are Trump statements, HIS WORDS STATED IN PUBLIC, that go against America, American ideals, and the Constitution (Free Speech, a Free Press, and Free People, e.g., racial profiling stop and frisk).
No Democrat has said they will block a pragmatic President, or any plans to improve a Great America.
President Obama has offered his support to President-elect Trump. FOX News needs to stop trying to paint Obama public support as a threat, as an as an obstacle to a successful President trump.
Fox News needs to stop saying Obama is he is stating in Washington DC to criticize Trump. That is stupid.
President has offered his support to Donald Trump as magnanimously. and as graciously as humanly possible under the circumstances.
I will repeat that, especially for Fox News talking heads who are paid to twist whatever Obama says into something against Trump. By the way Fox, and you paid talking heads, we can look up all Obama comments because he says them IN PUBLIC.
President has offered his support to Donald Trump as magnanimously. and as graciously as humanly possible under the circumstances.
What did the talking heads say today as they worked to make Obama look bad? Perhaps if they say that again, slowly. they will hear how dumb they sounded.
Step back Fox News, rerun the tape.
Say it again.
Can you see what you did to equate bias against Trump and Obama?
You made the two media bias scenarios equal. That is what "equating" does. IT IS A FALSE EQUIVALENCE.
I acknowledge one of the talking heads wanted to discount the term "false equivalence." THAT is a real term, and that person's problem with it is their problem, and that person is wrong.
OK, let's go to the media . . . lol . . . I know, it is a joke to go to the media for many reasons.
It turs out the media is biased no matter who is elected.

"A majority of voters agree: The media is biased against Trump"

The media should be trying to "normalize" the Trump Presidency. Folks, there is NOTHING "Normal" about a Trump Presidency to make "normal."
Drop the mic.
Be aware! Beware!
PS - actually it seems history says the media supported Obama, loved him in fact, I think. In fact, Fox News calls the media biased to liberalism.
