canvassing the comments found on yahoo! news creates the impression that the average american voter is somewhere to the right of atilla the hun...but is that really so??.. or are we just meant to think that ..

The only news I believe is FOX NEWS. They're fair and balanced. And they're the only news left that doesn't hate America.

I always laugh when people use fox news slogan to defend them, if you want real news you wont find it in America. Foxnews, CNN, MSNBC all covered Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton is that really what you want to defend. News in America is gone we are all about creating feelings not giving facts.
Try listening to the BBC to get real news.

I assume that myself. While I'm sure there are "patriots" like that out there he's just a little unbelievable. I assume he's one of TGGR's crew.

have you all read this:
http://www.monbiot.com/2011/02/23/robot-wars/
Quote:
- companies now use “persona management software”, which multiplies the efforts of the astroturfers working for them, creating the impression that there’s major support for what a corporation or government is trying to do.
- this software creates all the online furniture a real person would possess: a name, email accounts, web pages and social media. In other words, it automatically generates what look like authentic profiles, making it hard to tell the difference between a virtual robot and a real commentator.
- fake accounts can be kept updated by automatically re-posting or linking to content generated elsewhere, reinforcing the impression that the account holders are real and active.
- human astroturfers can then be assigned these “pre-aged” accounts to create a back story, suggesting that they’ve been busy linking and re-tweeting for months. No one would suspect that they came onto the scene for the first time a moment ago, for the sole purpose of attacking an article on climate science or arguing against new controls on salt in junk food.
- with some clever use of social media, astroturfers can, in the security firm’s words, “make it appear as if a persona was actually at a conference and introduce himself/herself to key individuals as part of the exercise … There are a variety of social media tricks we can use to add a level of realness to all fictitious personas”
i think this might finally explain the shroomery.....

Here's another gem.
The US Government is quite openly employing sock-puppets/"consistent personas". Ten per agent, thousands of fake online people. This is from a request for services:
US Military Wrote:0001- Online Persona Management Service. 50 User Licenses, 10 Personas per user. Software will allow 10 personas per user, replete with background , history, supporting details, and cyber presences that are technically, culturally and geographacilly consistent. Individual applications will enable an operator to exercise a number of different online persons from the same workstation and without fear of being discovered by sophisticated adversaries. Personas must be able to appear to originate in nearly any part of the world and can interact through conventional online services and social media platforms. The service includes a user friendly application environment to maximize the user's situational awareness by displaying real-time local information.

Hmm, I do its world news bro. And here is the great thing they dont get involved in our politics and dont care too so they tell it like it is. Just because its British doesn't mean they talk about British news its World News Important News mostly involving US. They are Fair and Balanced so if thats what you want BBC is where you can get it. They dont get paid by political parties to have specific views.
Rupert Murdoc doesn't hide the fact that Fox News is a conservative network. There is your problem if your watch Fox your going to have a conservative view and only that. They wont say anything good about the democrats and only have hate speech for Obama.
Funny thing is when Bush was sending troops to their death, all Fox had to say was "you may not agree with it, but he is our president"
Im not for any party too much time and money is spent electing new idiots to shuffle shit around.

This board could use an overtly satirical version of these so called conservatives. Good job... I think anyway, it's hard to tell a lot of the time.

What are the media? People, people have opinions, peoples opinions can be bought and twisted. No media is the truth, most stories are half truths and lies, just to make headlines and sell newspapers. Country of origin is neither hear or there, in the Uk sun newspaper is the worst of all. They support gambling, prostitution, drinking, smoking then call for a ban on mephedrone, to 'protect' society. I become violent when I drink alcohol, many people react exactly the same, we have alcoholics, binge drinking and drink driving. In the UK in 2009 there were over 1000 alcohol related deaths, more than 10'000 people hospitalised due to alcohol, where's the call for a ban? They drink (it is their drug), they profit through advertising (funded by the drug).
Unfortunately, corruption is everywhere.
