It's almost like conservatives control the vast majority of media conglomerates and subsequently control the types of content that their outlets put out.

I heartily chortle anytime someone tells me that.
This is what frustrates me about all the Ground News ad reads I see on youtube channels that I otherwise respect (Legal Eagle, and Some More News for example). Despite the claims about 'left' or 'right' media, they're still all corporate owned media, and will only serve corporate interests.
Impossible! I saw a Democrat on CNN once, they're taking over!
I think it's more complex than that. I think it's accurate that the majority of mainstream reporting writers are actually liberal (or left, but definitions get pretty sticky).
This left bias coincides with a bias towards reality. The problem is that they are trained to remove bias from their reporting, and in removing their left bias when reporting on the left, their also remove their reality bias.
My brother/sister in Christ. Read the NYT every day for a week and then tell me with a straight face they’ve removed bias from their reporting. I mean, really…
It's not about reality or not reality. No matter what you think about each individual Network they're all corporate owned. That's their bias. They don't report reality if it goes against the corporate interests either.
if i had a nickel for every time conservatives propped up a dementia riddled alzheimers patient in order to cling to power despite not being popular i'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's fuckin depressing it happened twice
Reagan wasn't nearly so damned obvious. Trump is a fucking train wreck. If any of us had a relative talking like him we would have been planning on a nursing home 3 or 4 years ago. At this point he can barely speak at all.
Just a couple of days ago, right here. He's rambling and making shit up and has no clue he's doing so.
That’s just if you’re talking about the presidency. Mitch McConnell still holds his office in the senate today, years after publicly freezing in confusion multiple times.
Because Biden wouldn't threaten you with lawsuits if you said mean things about him.
I don't think it's lawsuits that the journalists are worried about.
The revolution will not be televized.
Ah I see you also like the music that Rand Paul enjoys
All seriousness fuck Rand Paul and the Revolution will most certainly not be televised
He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
What's your point? Many conservative shit stains love rage against the machine.
Questions about Biden's fitness were brushed aside until he had an unprecedented meltdown during a live debate. Also, Trump's health was a major news story just last month, when he was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency. This also came up again this week when people spotted badly applied makeup to his hand. Also, it was a minor news story when Trump fell asleep during Pope Francis' funeral. And his meeting with the Saudis. And his press conference wirh Dr. Oz. And his trial last year.
Also, here are 10 articles, ranging from 2023 to two weeks ago, about Trump's cognitive decline, including op eds from CNN and the Boston Globe questioning his fitness and an article from the Atlantic about why questioning his cognition isn't as effective as it should be:
CNN-11/13/2023: Trump’s mental gaffes can’t be ignored
The Atlantic-2/16/2024:Why Attacks on Trump’s Mental Acuity Don’t Land
The LA Times-9/25/2024: Trump’s rhetorical walkabouts: A sign of ‘genius’ or cognitive decline?
NBC-10/15/2024: Trump's bizarre music session reignites questions about his mental acuity
The Hill-5/7/2025: Is Trump losing his mind à la Biden?
Boston Globe-5/17/2025: Biden is no longer President. Let's talk about Trump's mental acuity.
Rolling Stone-5/25/2025: Jasmine Crockett: ‘It’s Time for Republicans to Question Trump’s Mental Acuity’
Penn Live-6/2/2025: Donald Trump accused of ‘crazy cognitive decline’ after fumbling ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ press conference
The Economic Times-6/24/2025: 'Constant lapses and verbal aphasias': Republican advisor drops a bomb on Donald Trump's mental health
Salon-8/13/2025: Trump’s Soviet slip revives concerns about his mental acuity
The comment clearly states in a major newspaper, this year.
Granted you've linked some major newspapers, and some stories from this year, but not a single story in a major newspaper from this year.
That's the point. It's clearly dialed back, because he's in power and crazy.
Boston Globe-5/17/2025: Biden is no longer President. Let's talk about Trump's mental acuity.
How dare you give sources when they wanna circlejerk about their favorite out of touch boomer!
I literally read and article this morning about makeup on Trump's had to hide bruises.
Also, the right does not care how old he is as long has he slashed "entitlement" programs and deports brown people. The left only cares if the news is that he is actively dying because they know the right does not care.
The post seems to be saying they aren't calling for him to resign or be impeached for being in declining health. Otherwise yeah I agree with what you are saying
They only care about your physical health when you oppose them.

Bought media is like that
That's because this is a war on information. Has been since day one.
Probably because it isn't news. All of these things have been established for years.
Trump rambling about medians during press conference. Seth meyers points out Trumps dementia all the time. https://youtube.com/shorts/pY06vb1Cxl0
Why do you think that is? Has someone told them to back off? Who?
There's no need for anyone to tell anyone anything.
The rich shitweasels who own one media conglomerate have enough common interests with the rich shitweasels who own another media conglomerate that they tend to arrive at more or less the same decisions and same policies even if they do so wholly and completely separately.
That's generally the case broadly too - not just in this instance, or even just regarding media conglomerates.
I find it odd that everyone made the dementia claim for Biden mis speaking. Go look at his Wikipedia page, he's been known for flubbing words his whole life.
He's spoken many many times about it.
Why would they, Trump has been nothing but good to the capitalists, while Biden was merely kept the status quo.
Dementia Joe didn't tell masked goons to abduct people in broad daylight
News control is like 101 ...
Funny that.
