All news companies think they're objective.

Literally

You go to the restaurant and buy a burger because you've been told it's food, and it is

I don't think they do tbh

I think some employees do, but I don't think the whole org feels they're showing people all the angles

Even the partisans think that their side is objectively right and the other is objectively wrong.

You go to the komonews site, you tell them the Trump Campaign Staffer on their Must-Run said some dumb shit, and they run him again anyway with no changes to the script

How is that anything different from muh apple other than the false promise?

Oh right, CNN was blunt about it being an ad

Dear lord...

You can dear lord all you like. When head office tells you there are partisan segments you have to run and *also* tell you to read a corporate memo about fake news and objectivity, I get to call bullshit

If you want to talk about other matters, sure. Why don't they run the Trump Campaigner instead of the portion of the program where they're talking about themselves?

It's not other matters

It's the same matter

You asked about them not being objective. When I pointed out how they aren't, the goalposts changed coordinates

It absolutely is a separate matter.

Now it's "off topic"

It's "other matters*

When did I ever imply that that the Trump must-run segment WAS on topic.

To be clear, I have no general beef with the idea of a must-run segment.

I'm evaluating them on their merits.

Yes and their merits are "a partisan org that talked about the merits of not being a partisan org"

My stance, as stated, is that I see no problem with the portion where Sinclair Broadcasting talked about Sinclair Broadcasting.

That's what the segment was

my w key just broke. -_- damn cat.

"We would like you to tell us when we get something wrong. Also we have segments we force our local news to run in which we push a partisan narrative that they can't do anything about"
Pick one and only one

That highlights a lack of understanding of how a media company works.

Wot

One is the message they sent, the other is the reality

allo those companys are owned by same people.
what you expect...

Oh I expect them to be shit

My point has never been that I expect more from them, only that the Sinclair Memo is just more of the same

I'm going to have to cut this short, real life problems just showed up.

OK folks, Aydin Paladins new vid on Kanye is really good.

Gonna watch it later

i got one if yo dont vote do you have the right to complain about who is in office

@CougarChaser I've had this argument with someone that doesn't vote 'if you don't vote you can't complain' the response is 'it doesn't matter who I vote for, they'll cocks'

Yes you can complain.

see i was raised the opposite

if you dont vote you dont

if you dont like either canidates you can always write down a random name but you should always vote
