Claim of anti-conservative bias by social media firms is baseless, report finds​


Republicans including Donald Trump have raged against Twitter and Facebook in recent months, alleging anti-conservative bias, censorship and a silencing of free speech. According to a new report from New York University, none of that is true.

Disinformation expert Paul Barrett and researcher J Grant Sims found that far from suppressing conservatives, social media platforms have, through algorithms, amplified rightwing voices, “often affording conservatives greater reach than liberal or nonpartisan content creators”.

I love it when conservatives think they're smart by blaming the media outlet for a study that has nothing to do with that media outlet.

It's a bottom of the barrel argument but it sure is entertaining!

NYT Retracts Claim That ‘Pro-Trump Rioters’ Smashed Officer Sicknick In The Head With A Fire Extinguisher​

Authorities have reviewed video and photographs that show Sicknick engaging with rioters amid the siege but have yet to identify a moment in which he suffered his fatal injuries, law enforcement officials familiar with the matter said.

[…] According to one law enforcement official, medical examiners did not find signs that the officer sustained any blunt force trauma, so investigators believe that early reports that he was fatally struck by a fire extinguisher are not true.

C-SPAN and Twitter prove the bias of Big Media and Big Tech: Goodwin​

There is no end to the media bias against President Trump and his followers.

The news that Steve Scully, the political editor of the bland television network, lied about being hacked to hide a message to an anti-Trumper is no ordinary moment. It is a startling confirmation that the cancer of partisanship has eaten away the heart of fairness and integrity at nearly all of America’s leading media outlets.

Proof of a Media Conspiracy Against the Pro-Trump Message​

By Wayne Allyn RootThursday, 29 August 2019 12:32 PMCurrent | Bio | Archive

I got my taste of the fraud, lies, slander, and censorship of the mainstream media last week. There were literally thousands of media attacks on me for saying, “Donald Trump is the greatest president in history for the Jewish people and Israel.”

Think about it. Wayne Allyn Root was the #1 news story in America last week, and the #1 name trending in the world at Twitter. Despite everyone in the media talking about me, no one even thought to ask for an interview. Or a comment. No one wanted to hear my response to their attacks and slander.

Isn’t that just stunning? Unimaginable.

The Marxist Instrumentalist Theory of Media​

Marxist Instrumentalist theory holds that media owners control media content, and that the media performs ideological functions. The primary role of the media is to keep a largely passive audience from criticizing capitalism and thus maintain the status quo.
Marxist Instrumentalist Theory is also known as the Traditional Marxist or Manipulative Approach to the media.

The Marxist Instrumentalist Theory of Media – ReviseSociology

Instrumentalists argue that owners control media content and use the media to control passive audiences.

Of course it's easy to control media when you are using $ore@$$bucks to do it!!!
;)
But then, after all, one always finds that the people who run communism are really crony mob capitalists when one checks under the hood.
