The facts speak for themselves... take a look at ANY poll of the media, they are strongly Democrat, even factoring the Foxnews Republican bias...It's wishful thinking/convenient ignorance on your part to think their political leanings don't influence how/what they report. When a veteran reporter like Sharyl Attkisson walks away from CBS news because of their perceived liberal bias, an objective mind should buy a clue, or at least raise an eyebrow... But you don't, as you're nothing but a DNC shill...
But let's get back to the facts you fail to address... The discrimination lawsuit that was well known to the media in the SECOND biggest media market in the Country...but yet the MSM gives him a pass and the NAACP was about to give him a lifetime achievement award...I guess it had nothing to do with the money he spent on their causes.. did it?
Media Bias
Quoted Text
Conventional wisdom holds that publishers impose their views on newsrooms. Not so, say Gentzkow and Shapiro. What actually happens is both more innocent and more insidious. Papers with more Republican readers tend to provide more conservative stories and language; papers in more liberal areas lean left in their coverage and story selection. (The study involved 1,000 phrases reviewed in 429 newspapers, representing about 70 percent of the nation’s circulation. To gauge the politics of newspaper readers, Zip code-level data on voting patterns and circulation were matched.)
This is how the media resemble ice cream, Gentzkow said in an interview. Just as ice cream makers give customers the flavors they want, newspapers give their readers the stories and slant they want. It’s a market phenomenon. Ice cream makers strive to maximize ice cream consumption and profits. Papers try to maximize readership and profits. Newspapers are commercial enterprises that respond to economic signals and incentives. Editors, producers and reporters sense what appeals to their readers and try to satisfy these tastes.

Most of the advantage in coverage for Obama, however, came in September in the form of highly negative coverage for Romney. This was a period when the GOP nominee was losing ground in the polls, he was criticized for his comments about Libya, and a video surfaced in which he effectively dismissed 47% of the American public.
All that changed almost overnight after the first debate on October 3. From that day through October 21, the coverage in effect reversed. In all, 20% of stories about Romney were favorable, 30% were unfavorable, and 50% were mixed-a differential of 10 points to the negative. For Obama, 13% of stories were favorable, 36% were unfavorable, and 50% were mixed-a differential of 23 points.

Those graphs are WORTHLESS without specifics such as 1.WHO is making the determination of what is positive and what is negative 2. How many stories each network is running and what is the "tone" of those stories.
If FOX runs more Obama negative stories than MSNBC runs positive Obama stories, the graph would show Obama trending negative. What would give much more insight would be what the individual networks were running and what the tone was, as I am more concerned with news organization bias...

The Tea Party News Network ran the headline, “Donald Sterling Is A Racist Democrat.”
Fox News’ website Fox Nation claimed that Sterling is a Democratic donor, and above their headline featured an image of the Obama and Democratic Party logos.
Yep, the right finally had their own Bundy equalizer. Their very own racist Democrat. See, both sides really do do it.
The problem is that Donald Sterling has been a registered Republican since 1998. (Washington Post)

A Nevada congressman contacted law enforcement saying supporters of rancher Cliven Bundy have set up checkpoints for drivers’ “residency” before letting them pass

lefties like to have a 'check point' called fair share to make sure you and I and all the corporate as$holes are complying because only the left knows the value of human life via taxes/freedoms/access......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Bunkerville Held Hostage By Extremist Militia Members With Guns
"Sheriff urged to clamp down on armed militiamen around Bundy ranch"
Quoted Text
A growing number of Bunkerville residents want to see the armed militiamen guarding rancher Cliven Bundy leave Nevada, according to a letter from Rep. Steven Horsford, D-Nev., to Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie.
Horsford, whose congressional district includes Bunkerville, wrote that his constituents are concerned about Bundy supporters carrying weapons near local churches, schools and elsewhere. The letter also says militiamen have a presence on state and local roads as well as federal highways. In some areas, according to the letter, militiamen have set up checkpoints where drivers are stopped and asked to provide a proof of residency.

THE OAFKEEPERS VS THE BUNDY BUMS! Apparently the Oafkeepers and Cliven Bundy's Bumbling Militia are at war. (Almost a shooting war) ~~~ Militiamen And Oath Keepers Drew Weapons, Threatened To Kill Each Other ~~~ The situation at the Bundy Ranch, where armed militiamen and “Patriots” are camped out, has deteriorated so badly that competing factions apparently drew weapons on one another during heated arguments.

The Bundy cosplay clown posse is starting to seriously unravel. Absolutely emboldened by the lack of federal response to their domestic terrorism, their ego is pushing them to new heights of lawlessness. This needs to be documented as extensively as possible because when they finally start shooting at the police (or each other), the right wing is going to immediately blame the evil gub’mint:
They were equally hostile to journalists covering the story. Pistol-packing militia men have blocked 8 News NOW’s access to public roads. Some poured lighter fluid around our news vehicle while others got physical.
A few Oath keepers said they were told the White House had ordered a drone missile strike on the Bundy camp. In an atmosphere this hostile and paranoid, guns pointed at police became the norm.
“At some point, you have to draw a line in the sand. I guess this is it,” one militia member said.
