The Internet is rigged !

Charts that show media bias are largely irrelevant - and they presume bias is present accross the board.   Sometimes the truth is unflattering to one group - that doesn't mean the people reporting it are  biased.   

   I would be more interested to see a chart that shows media accuracy.      

For example: 

You'll find plenty of news outlets that truthfully point out the fact that Donald Trump Jr met with Russian operatives to discuss his father's political opponent.   This is an unflattering story about one party....and it is also a true story.    Is the news outlet that reports this true story suppossed to be labeled as biased for reporting truth?   You'll find plenty of people in that party who believe so.   

You'll find other news outlets that untruthfully say the Clinton Foundation only gives 10% of its donations to its core chartibale works....or Obama faked the unemployment numbers.    These are  bullshit stories that are unflattering to one party.   The news outlet reporting bullshit should be called out as such.

When google search results start yielding more of the latter examples we should be concerned.   In the meantime people are just pissed the media is truthfully reporting on unflattering events to their cause.   Cry me a river.

As much as I like the name PJ Media, I don't think it is a reliable source nor was its study scientific.  For example, if someone wanted to search for news about Trump the way Google would tell them to do it is go to Google News and type in "Trump".  It makes no sense to go to Google web search and type in "Trump News".  Other people reported finding negative stories when typing in "Clinton News" in general web search.  My own search on "Clinton News" in the general web search nets two Fox News stories as the number one and two results. So, like much of what Trump says, the underlying claim is false. 

As far as negative stories go, you have to quit doing negative things if you want to cut down on them. When almost every morning you go into a Twitter rampage chock-full of untruths and threats it is going to make the news.  When you hire crooks and conmen to work on your campaign and in your administration it is going to make the news when these people get indicted, cop pleas, are on trial and are being investigated. If you are so narcissistic that you can't stand it when someone dies and gets more attention than you do for a few days that you act out, that is going to make the news.  If you have had regular dalliances with porn stars, playmates and prostitutes you shouldn't be surprised when details of those dalliances show up in the news. If you have regularly sexually assaulted or sexually harassed, females in a professional setting you shouldn't be surprised when those stories make the news.  When you endorse candidates that try to date and molest fourteen-year-old girls well into their thirties that is going to make the news.  When you endorse a candidate that refers to his African American opponent as "articulate" and describes voting for the said candidate as "monkeying up" that is going to make the news. When you equivocate Nazi's chanting "Jews will not replace us." with peaceful protesters that is going to make the news.  When you hire neo-nazis, neo-confederates, white nationalists, and members of other white identity groups to work in your administration that is going to make the news.  When you frequently lie and then get caught lying every time you get caught lying is going to make the news.

To summarize, the easiest way for there to be less negative stories about Trump would be for Trump to modify his behavior and quit doing negative things. 

"You'll find plenty of news outlets that truthfully point out the fact that Donald Trump Jr met with Russian operatives to discuss his father's political opponent.   This is an unflattering story about one party....and it is also a true story. "

The liberal media make it out to be unflattering, but after 2 years of looking, no crime has been committed.  CNN's latest lie on this issue involving Lannie Davis has imploded.  Amazing how CNN and others neglect to mention that he is Clinton's lawyer.

How many Washington Post, La Times, NY Times unsourced stories that mark breathlessly posts here have turned out to be nothing. 

Meanwhile the liberal media continue to ignore the Steele Dossier story & the numerous FBI/DOJ officials who have been fired/reassigned/resigned over it.  They ignore the stonewalling tactics of the FBI/DOJ & the constant delays in supplying documents which are heavily redacted.

That is the problem

As to the meeting, it is still being investigated, and has yet to be determined if there was a crime.

From publicly reported facts both Trump and Don Jr. Lied about the meeting and Trump himself drafted a false statement as to what the meeting was about. So, yes, I suspect several crimes were committed.

Don Jr. lied to Congress about the meeting which is a seperate crime all by itself.

Of all the witnesses in the probe that have been called before the Grand Jury, Don Jr has not been. Which indicates he is a target. 

I never said Don Jr's meeting  was illegal and neither did the "liberal media".    I said it was unflattering....and true.   The legality is still to be determined.

And it appeasrs Tom cant abide by his own principals in news reporting.  He demands the liberal media ignore the Don Jr meeting because it was not illegal...but then demands the liberal media go gangbusters over the Steele Dossier which was also not illegal.

Somebody get Tom some tissue.

Fox News in the wake of a good jobs report under Obama:

Did Obama fudge the unemployment numbers?

CNN in the wake of a good jobs report under Trump:

Unemployment fell to 3.9% in July

CNN wins the accuracy award regardless of how you perceive bias to be in the media circles.  

Let’s not forget CNN’s latest fake story - the lannie Davis lie. 

Looks like MArk/Pj's comments were delusional about the internet not being biased

"The emails were written on Jan. 29, 2017 -- two days after Trump signed the initial travel order that resulted in protests across the country. The emails indicate that Google employees suggested ways to “leverage” the search engine to combat what the tech giant staffers considered anti-immigration rhetoric and news.  The email chain, which was first obtained by “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and quickly matched by the Wall Street Journal, shows Google staffers admitting to colleagues that action must be taken immediately to rally against the travel ban."

Tom, I can't read the entire article because it is behind a paywall, but from what I can see it looks like they are talking search, not news.  There is a big difference. 

For years, Google has "rigged" search results to show their own products and services first. When they saw other companies successfully monetize certain keywords on their platform they would buy an existing business in that industry or start one of their own to insert at the top of those search results, and then they would exclude their competitors. 

I recall when they started Google Reviews.  They deemed all other reviews sites unreliable and wouldn't let them buy AdWords.   They also deranked competing review sites from organic search so when a user searched for a review of a product or service they were routed through Google Reviews. Google gets a cut from anybody that buys something through their reviews.  These anti-competitive behaviors are what got them in trouble in the EU.  

So, yes, Google is ripe for anti-trust action, but not for the reasons you think. Anti-trust actions are designed to deal with monopolies in a marketplace. You can't invoke Anti-trust because the company promotes say liberalism vs. conservatism. Those are ideas and beliefs not a commercial product or service.  From the portion of your article, I could read, they were talking about inserting an ad in search results about immigrant keywords directing people to non-profits where they could get help. There is nothing anti-competitive about that.
