Does the US media have a liberal bias?

**barbaro** · 02-02-2009, 04:58 PM

Does the US media have a Liberal bias?

Does the US media have a conservative bias?

Other biases?

Of course.

There is bias almost everywhere. We are human. Producers, directors, and jounalists in the media have biases, as well all do.

The think the US mainstream media (MSM) is bad for many reasons. And it's biased.

What are we doing? Criticizing the MSM, which needs to be done, but we also read the news that fits our own biases.

This is how we get around this.

But in the end, we talk about, discuss, and debate topics that are often spoon-fed to us by the MSM.

They set the agenda - we lap it up.

^That is very true. Propaganda sells. Sex, murder, and lies also sells. Or is that sex, lies, and videtape.

That is why I barely read the news. I read the news on the forums, but I tend to not to get involved with the negative news. Shit happens all over the world, and people will report the headlines that sell papers. Of course it is not objective because it is people's opinions, and people will write what they know the audience wants to hear.

Yeah, but what about the folks freezing their asses off in Kentucky with no FEMA?

**Jet Gorgon** · 03-02-2009, 08:11 AM

^ The people and the horses...

What did the good folks in Kentucky {or anywhere in the US} do before the ideals of a FEMA? They got along.

**Jet Gorgon** · 03-02-2009, 09:22 AM

^ The National Guard, Honey. And they're still there.

**Muadib** · 03-02-2009, 09:45 AM

For me it's not about bias by one media outlet or another, it's the way either faction goes out of their way to vilify the other team... Much the way each party continually snipes at the other as often as possible...

The media stopped reporting the news and began manufacturing it a long time ago...

**raycarey** · 03-02-2009, 10:07 AM

remind me again who owns ABC, NBC, CBS, FIX and CNN...oh yeah, that's right, those multi-national conglomerates who have such a history of supporting liberal policies.

Not to mention major military contractors are interlocked within the 'Liberal' media.

Do you mean like a $600 million military contract Democrat Senator Diane Feinsten's husband landed? Her husband lands all sorts of government contracts. He uses minorities as shills too to exploit affirmative-action preferences.

You see it a lot in Britain, with the whole trashy tabloids. It is an all out war as to who gets the story first. I feel sorry for the celebrities sometimes.

Sean Penn Declares That Fox News Anchors Are Failed Actors Who Envy Him

In a recent nauseatingly obsequious interview with PBS propagandist Tavis Smiley, radical left actor Sean "Spicoli" Penn discussed his role in "Milk," a movie devoted to promoting homosexual depravity, the primary cause of the AIDS epidemic. Spicoli announced that the criticism he gets tends

to be from failed actors. Like the Fox anchors who are just clearly very envious.

Smiley, who had just slathered Penn with elaborate praise for his "embrace of humanity," responded:

That's about as straightforward as it comes.

That was your tax dollar at work, paying an idiot to stroke the bloated ego of a paranoid psychotic. No doubt Spicoli has a Bill O'Reilly doll at home that he tortures with cigarettes, to go with his Ann Coulter doll.

And this comes crome Jeff Spicoliie!

Doubt it. More than likely all transfered to your war{s}-of-the-month club.

**Jet Gorgon** · 09-02-2009, 08:51 AM

^ Wrong.

Just heard most of the libbie press are now ensconced as WH press members. 55555555

**Rattanaburi** · 09-02-2009, 08:56 AM

I really wish the rightwingers would stop their whining. What a bunch of cry babies. America is a free country. If rightwingers want to control the media buy it. Get off your lazy asses and do some work and you'll be able to enjoy the things that others enjoy. Stop your whining and get your act together.

Did you read the rest of the article..it does get better. Nevertheless, I think he is a strong character actor. I wouldn't mind seeing his new movie, even it if isn't a huge blockbuster on the silver screen.

Remember when moonbats screeched that Bill O'Reilly owed archetypal liberal journalist Helen Thomas an apology for comparing her to the Wicked Witch of the East? An apology is due all right — but to the witch, not Thomas. Here's an example of why:

**Jet Gorgon** · 27-02-2009, 05:23 AM

^ Welll, I gotta agree with Helen on the point that those folks see themselves as freedom fighters and they are on their own soil. Technically speaking that is. Of course, when these FFs cross into the west to blow up things, then yes, they are terrorists. So, why not nix them before they make it over?

**attaboy** · 27-02-2009, 06:51 AM

Al Queda is not a band of freedom fighters.

Nor is the US military.

**Boon Mee** · 28-02-2009, 05:23 AM

I might have to re-evaluate CNN these days...hmmm

CNN: Dem Blasts Obama’s Budget.

**barbaro** · 17-04-2009, 06:41 PM

^ Yes, FOX ratings are up because of the discontent and FOX recognizing the success in viewship by tapping into it.

**Jet Gorgon** · 18-04-2009, 03:06 AM

^ Pretty funny that Comedy Central "news" beats out MSNBC and CNN. These libbies know where to get their news, huh?

No wonder they're in lala land.

Comedy Central is the only one of the lot that is any good. The others are the same but try and sell themselves as "serious" news media. Comedy Central has no such illusions.
