Thread: Does the US media have a liberal bias?

^ They can do no wrong in their own eyes. If BO gets in, any errors in his admin will be glossed over with the next news clip moving to home videos of wonderful jealous children telling lies about neighbours who make more money than their parents do. Kinda like the North Korean news.

Are you predicting or making a historically analogy?

Purely hypothetical question, surely such a thing could never happen, or if it did, the biased press would never want to report it, being such commie liberals as they are.

She's just shot herself in the foot

The Coming Counterrevolution To Hush The Alternative Media. "Conservative-friendly media better get ready. Should Barack Obama win the presidency and the Democrats control Congress, as now seems likely, they will launch a full-scale war to drive critics — especially on political talk radio — right out of legitimate public debate."

Yep...here come those thought Police too if BO is POTUS...

Yep. Joe the Plumber came along just at the right time! Switch the focus from BO's past shady connections (I lost all respect for the guy when he out and out lied about Ayers and ACORN in the debate), not that the libbie press would say anything except about these issues to put BO in a bad light.
I noticed in the thread Robski just started on Joe that the writer conveniently excluded BO's answer to Joe's Q about taxes. BO said something like "we have to distribute the wealth." That's the whole point, not the dissection of Joe's life and biz. Move to Canada! We have a conservative govt (albeit a minority, but a stronger one now). On second thought, don't bother. We still have to get rid of the socialists in local govts.
I hope Americans can see though the BO BS, coz anyone who makes money is gonna feel the pain in the pocketbook.

I would sincerely hope so, since the rest of the World have absolutely no interest in who sucks who in that office, it has hardly anything to do with politics, unless of cause it is Palin sucking Obama or Obama sucking Mc Cain

Yep, just the latest in a long line of failed Republican gimmics.

They have nobody but themselves to blame for their impending drubbing.

Except the 'liberal' media, Obama, the Democrats, Blacks, Welfare cases, Pinko's, Foreigners, George Soros, soon Colin Powell, San Fransisco values, Hippies, unAmericans, Educated Elites, Gun haters, Do Gooders, Acorn, University campuses, lawyers, dopesmokers, War apologists and Peaceniks, Environmentalists, Liberals, and Women.

I take it back- Republicans have everyone to blame but themselves for their coming electoral drubbing. Everyone that is but the 'real' American, a Nam Vet who was last spotted hunting Coon in the Appalachians.

The libbie press totally demolished this guy. He owes back taxes, is not a union member, and his first name is not Joe. Hey, if the guy was a libbie, it would be totally opposite. How many folks owe back taxes? Many. Too bad Joe doesn't have a failed mortgage or unpaid credit card debt. Thank god he is not a union suck. And geez, Joe is not his first name!!! Oh, brother. Many folks go by their middle name. Another libbie smear campaign.
The whole point of that interchange was Obama's response to Joe's Q about his taxes going up: we gotta distribute the wealth, which is what the libbie press totally side-stepped.

Joe lied about his income, by stating that he was one of the 5% earning 250K or more who therefore would pay more tax under Obama. Obama took him at face value- so the 'We' he was referring to was the 5% of Americans- which includes Obama and the mythical (as opposed to real) Joe Plumber- who would thus be affected.

Talk about a storm in a teacup- no wonder it's become a laughing stock. Obama could have come out with a more cleverly nuanced statement than 'We gotta spread the wealth', I agree, given the sensitivities and doublespeak of contemporary politicking but like so what.

Joe Plumber, Bill Ayers and Acorn = the McCain campaign. Does McCain really live in the USA, or is he a hologram beamed from the planet Zog.

Oh please, my heart bleeds! Even if that were true - and it's not, they merely reported the facts - where was your concern when Obama was being routinely slandered and slated in the press? When he was, gasp, shock, horror, being accused of being a Muslim. When he was being accused of 'being pals with terrorists'?

If Obama wins (OK, likely if stupid America keeps swooning), I'll be patiently waiting and filing my nails as I watch the downfall.
You libbies love to have a laugh and belittle the other guy. If Joe had questioned McC, the libbie press would have him on a pedestal.
Never mind. The Reps will be there to pick up the pieces when you all crumble.

Obviously I think and hope you are wrong Jet, but right now it is the Dem's who have the unenviable job of picking up the pieces left by the calamitous Bush administration, and setting the USA back on it's feet.

So I feel your analogy has rather backfired.

^ Yep, Bush wasn't great. But he didn't start it.

It was started by many factors over many years.

There were many contributors.

The Reps will not be able to pick up the pieces. The Demos will not be able to pick up the pieces.

Parties and Presidents have very little ability, today.

^ True, MM. Too many politicos only looking out for their own a**.

Just playing to the public, IMO.

Whenever a national politician starts talking about "protecting jobs, creating jobs, saving jobs," and "helping the economy," they are playing on public ignorance.

The thing is, a politician cannot ignore the economy.

My god woman, are you delusional!? Eight years of Bush and look at the state of the place, Obama's not even won the election yet and you're already tee'ing it up to blame everything on him.

You can see a lot better with both eyes open you know.

^ Oh, Ant. The ball started rolling on this before Bush even stepped in the WH. It's so easy to blame the person who's in charge when the sh*t hits the fan -- you know, who's caught holding the bag scenario. There are some fundamental policies that need to be changed. IMO, TARP is not the correct answer for the bailout. Infusing capital and buying distressed debt will not really help now because asset prices don't match the cost of the bladdy liabilities. Even if banks have better balance sheet strength, they are still wary of lending to each other never mind to businesses and consumers. Wait for part II, the unravelling of the credit card market. JP Morgan and BofA will be in big trouble, coz they have big card ops and those VISA card carriers are maxing out their credit lines, especially those without a job. Sorry, I forget who already mentioned this upcoming debacle, as I give him the credit for this story.

Does it get any more blatant than Mad Joe's frothing at the mouth???:
