Former Chief Of CBS News Admits Anti-Trump ‘Bias’ In News Media Is Harmful

The former president of major media outlet CBS News admitted the truth about anti-Trump bias that we’ve all been denouncing from the very beginning, stating that it’s doing a lot of harm to our society as a whole.

Mainstream media outlets have practically dedicated every waking moment of their air time to attacking President Trump, whether what they are reporting on is completely harmless or not. They’ve simply decided to become the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, forsaking their responsibility to equip viewers and readers with solid facts and allowing them to make up their own minds.

Here’s more on this from The Washington Times:

“News organizations that claim to be neutral have long been creeping leftward, and their loathing of Mr. Trump has accelerated the pace,” Van Gordon Sauter wrote in an opinion article for the Wall Street Journal over the weekend. “The news media is catching up with the liberalism of the professoriate, the entertainment industry, upscale magazines, and the literary world. Recent arrivals are the late-night TV hosts who have broken the boundaries of what was considered acceptable political humor for networks.”

Sauter went on to state that the current trajectory of the media away from objective, fact based reporting is a threat to the place the media has held as an important institution in American society.

“More important, how will a large segment of the public ever put stock in journalism it considers hostile to the country’s best interests? Unfortunately, dominant media organizations have bonded with another large segment of the public — one that embraces its new approach. Pulling back from anti-Trump activism could prove commercially harmful,” he said.

Rather than fighting against the perceived bias of the network, Sauter, who not only ran CBS, but Fox News, said that it would probably better serve these outlets to just admit their bias and embrace it.

“Publications open about their bias might feel freer to focus on the specifics: story selection, presentation, facts, fairness, balance. Not devoid of subtlety for sure, but manageable,” he said. “But America won’t reunite until far more people can look at a news story in print or on the screen and, of all things, believe it.”

Being honest about the perspective a network approaches the reporting of news with would go a long, long way toward helping folks to understand what kind of information product they are consuming. If they disagreed with that take or wanted to find an opposite view on the story, they could go to a different news outlet. It’s better than trying to pretend like the whole bias thing doesn’t exist.

That’s more or less how the news used to function long ago. It’s time for a return to the roots of journalism.

Need another reason to not watch CNN? Okay, here’s a great one. According to far-left partisan host Chris Cuomo, brother of far-left governor of New York Andrew Cuomo, Americans don’t need to look to GOD anymore. That is exactly what he said. Don’t believe it?

The couple told police the protesters broke a gate to get onto the private street in St. Louis, and the pair say they only retrieved their firearms when they spotted “multiple” people who were already armed, police department records show.

You don’t want to mess with Sheriff Darryl Daniels. He has put his foot down when it comes to violent leftist protesters – and he means business. Here’s the deal, via NYP: A sheriff in Florida said he’s ready to deputize every gun owner in his county if violent protests erupt. Clay County Sheriff Darryl Daniels issued the warning in a three-minute video Wednesday, saying he was ready to enlist the help of civilians if there are any demonstrations his deputies can’t handle alone. Daniels said, “If we can’t handle you, I’ll exercise the power and authority as the sheriff and I’ll make special deputies of every lawful gun owner in the county.” WATCH: https://twitter.com/wjxt4/status/1278290632516210689?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1278290632516210689%7Ctwgr%5E&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2020%2F07%2Fblack-florida-sheriff-deputize-gun-owners-stop-godless-blm-mob%2F A bunch of future Joe Biden voters decided to ambush police officers in Tampa Bay this past Saturday night. These are most likely the kind of people who don’t have to use “COVID” as an excuse for the reason they don’t have a job. They were probably unemployed to begin with. Why aren’t Democrat “leaders” speaking out on this violent behavior? From Fox35Orlando: TAMPA, Fla. – The chief of the Tampa Police Department says his officers were “ambushed” early Saturday morning. […] As officers took one person into custody, the crowd surrounded officers and threw glass bottles, while several subjects jumped on one of the officer’s cars. Tampa chief Brian Dugan said, “There were hundreds of them. Hundreds. We ended up having to call every single police officer that was available that night to respond there, from New Tampa to South Tampa.” VIDEO:
