MRC's Bozell: News Media Have Become 'Radicalized' and 'Marginalized'



Host Neil Cavuto began the segment, part of an hour-long look at the issue of trust in America, by pointing out that "the media itself is one of the least-trusted institutions, second only to Congress," and yet many in the media continue to champion government action as a cure to social ills. - See more at: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb-staff/2015/05/09/mrcs-bozell-news-media-have-become-radicalized-and-marginalized#sthash.sEEAOnue.dpuf - Newsbusters

Both MRC's Bozell and The Hill's Lauren Ashburn agreed that the media were too infatuated with government to act as an effective watchdog. But when Ashburn disagreed that journalists were ignoring liberal scandals, pointing to recent coverage of the Clinton Foundation scandal, Bozell called that "nonsense."
They have not gotten to the bottom of a single one of the Obama scandals....Look at the IRS, look at Benghazi, look at the VA, look at so many scandals -- they've been dropped. This one, this Clinton one, will be dropped as well....

...Yeah, isn't it incredible that their response to being marginalized is to be even more marginalized. They've become so radicalized. We've seen something in the last two years that I frankly hadn't seen before: This -- since 2008, I should say -- this commitment, this deliberate commitment not to report news if it harms the narrative of the left. This is not one example, this is not two examples, I can give you 20 examples. As a matter of fact, you and I have talked about this many times on your show. They are deliberately not reporting news. - See more at: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb-staff/2015/05/09/mrcs-bozell-news-media-have-become-radicalized-and-marginalized#sthash.sEEAOnue.dpuf
