Just google "impeachment defense"


Headlines include, starting from the top:

Trump defense lawyers share disturbing problem

Trump impeachment defense is dangerous

Trump defense looks shaky on first day

Trumps impeachment defense is a red herring

constitutional nonsense: trumps impeachment defense defies legal consensus

Trump impeachment defense: oath of office? whatever, I do what I want

Trumps ridiculous impeachment defense could crumble

Of course Bloomberg has an ad titled "trump's broken promises"

Meet trumps deplorable defense team

Of the 30 top search results, 2 didnt include an overt bias in either the title or first line in the article, neither of which were pro-trump. Reuters was the closest to actually reporting.

There are 40 direct links before you find one to fox news. So tell me again how influential they are again?

It could be bias. Or the consensus of the reporting could be reflective of the truth.

Here's something to keep in mind with something highly partisan like this. Broken clocks are right twice a day. In a situation like this, the balance of the facts can actually exist on one side or the other. In that case, one partisan side is actually more right than the other. Next time around, roles may be reversed. But just because it's partisan, doesn't mean one side isn't actually right.

FYI - Even Matt Gaetz is praising the democrat presentation and calling Trump's defense an 8th grade book report. He's probably just ticked he's not on the team but again, it is possible Trump's defense is actually garbage.

Wonder what “Running for President is a get-out-of-jail-free card for Democrats” would turn up in a Google search?

Gaetz is all over the place trying to make a name for himself.

How would you know if its consensus of truth when the only thing you can find shows a clear bias in the same direction? If half of the country is pro-Trump, wouldn't you think that maybe at least 5 articles in the first 40 wouldn't show support against that bias?

I want google to prioritize high quality news sources. If half the country supports Trump, and Trump tries to argue with the national weather service on the path of a hurricane, the press (or google) are no under no obligation to ensure that half the headlines spin Trump's comments in a positive way.

It's entirely possible that Trump's defense is objectively weak and that's how it's being reported.

That's quite the conflation. It's one thing to share objective reporting on the path of a hurricane and an entirely different thing to focus on subjective analysis for a legal team. Saying there are no projections that a hurricane is going to hit Memphis is nothing like saying trumps legal team are a bunch of deplorables

The media is under no obligation to play to one side or sides. Real news actually covers what is happening, not what people want to be happening. I haven't read all the articles you are talking about so not commenting on them specifically, but I have watched several hours of the hearings over the last few days, and I think Trump's team is getting beaten badly, I do. They will still ultimately win, don't get me wrong, but Schiff and company are clearly better at what they are doing.

The point of the thread wasn't about the media, we all know they have biases. The point is that GOOGLE essentially has a monopoly on internet information and their bias is egregious in a lot of ways. As an extension of another thread go to google and type in "are vaccines good?". You'll go through 4 full pages of articles and half a dozen ads that are proponents of vaccinating before you'll find a single one that is deferential. Is that a form of objectivism that allows people to search out information and make their own decision or is that a form of influencing opinion through information filtering?
 
Could it be that Trump is actually guilty, and the media is reporting that correctly?

Nah it's obviously a giant conspiracy.

Idiots. You all are idiots.

But I would assume there are a lot more articles in general about vaccines being good, so by # alone they are going to be the first hits under that search. Which is what my guess is what is going on with this topic.

Are vaccines bad yields the same results
 
So instead of actually airing the impeachment trial (because facts are harmful to the poor snow flakes watching) Fox News shoveled pro Trump diarrhea onto the air.

But tell me again how it's th evil liberal conspiracy to show you guys facts that is the problem.
 
Lol, actually any permutation of a question involving the word "vaccine" brings up the same results, all of them on the pro side. This is an interesting experiment. I'm going to do the same with the term "socialism"

This is confirmed. I just googled is the earth round and Google told me that the earth was round. Biased.

Is crazy actually serious here? Does he want to see the same number of results saying vaccines cause autism in the name of "showing both sides"?

Holy shit he's actually dumber than I previously imagined. I might have actually insulted pineapples by suggesting we debate them instead of him.

Wow.
