I don't think many people on here will argue that MSNBC is any less biased that Fox; but Fox has MUCH larger viewership and so it is much more relevant.

I wouldn't say CNN is all that biased, personally. Shallow yes. Fareed Zakaria and Christiane Amanpour are kick-ass though.

Re: 2016 Election
 

CNN has been biased for Hillary Clinton against Bernie Sanders from the beginning, not that it's much of a surprise.

As for Fareed Zakaria, he didn't do a very good job debating Edward Snowden the other day.

It's not called the Clinton News Network for nothing.

Re: 2016 Election
 

Bernie never really had much of a chance, and that was rather obvious from the beginning. If CNN were to rally around Bernie, then you (or others) would equally scream "bias". I'm watching an interview with Bernie's campaign manager right now. On CNN.

I don't fault Fox News for being biased. I fault the idiots who are gullible enough to believe its nonsense and/or who are thick enough to think that every news outlet behaves in the same manner.

Re: 2016 Election
 

The same idiots who would believe William Devane and buy all that gold he's constantly hawking.

Re: 2016 Election
 

I think you didn't understand what I meant by bias. It's all about how the debate is framed. It's not about rallying around Sanders or Clinton. It's about giving each candidate a fair and equal chance, something which never happened. Time and again Sanders and his supporters get questions about how he's a socialist who will raise everyone's taxes, how he and his supporters are sexist and so much other stuff. But with Clinton all you get is "tell me more about how you're not a natural politician" and other such softballs.

I have no problem with Sanders and his campaign getting asked difficult questions. But the same should be true of Clinton and I don't see it.

Cruz would be more suited standing in a pulpit....preaching to the congregation.

Did you notice Fiorina's face during his preaching? :eek:

Has anyone ever won using a write in campaign for any big office?

Write in is an option on the ballot so if you dislike all the main players can you just write in a name there?

He's a tent show revivalist to the core. What he refuses to accept is that, other than a few knuckle heads, nobody buys that crap outside the church house.

Re: 2016 Election
 

Right. And, after Megyn Kelly, none of the networks will ask Trump the difficult questions because they're terrified of him. "Yes, sir, Mr. Trump sir, please tell us again about how enormous your penis is, sir."

Re: 2016 Election
 

The pattern here is that no journalists ask tough questions. We rely on comedians to do that.

Re: 2016 Election
 

Exactly. Except they're not terrified of him perse, rather they're terrified they'll lose access. If Trump stopped coming on their shows and giving them sound bites then they lose ratings and therefore they lose money and that's the bottom line.
