Anyone who can watch the news or read the paper without detecting the venom in either, is not a very observant person.

And anyone who watches the news without realizing that the bias goes both ways is blind.

Where did I say there wasn't any in both directions?

There's merely far more liberal bias.

There's simply a ratings bias. Whatever story will get them better ratings, they'll cover.

Weak, but an easy way of admitting defeat.

Can't we all agree that the news on American TV is basically anti-freedom?

I don't see it as a left or right thing anymore, it appears that's the game they want people to get distracted with...

Re: The liberal media. [Re: Observer]
    #2003113 - 10/12/03 06:00 PM (20 years, 5 months ago)

To elaborate a little...I watch more TV than I like to admit, and here are some issues that I have never seen examined "properly" or at all:

*The War On (some) Drugs
*Militarization of our police
*The Patriot Act
*Project For A New American Century
*Checkpoints
*Withering of states' rights
*RAVE act
*Drugs/Terrorism connection
*Waco/Ruby ridge

and I'm sure you guys could add others...

Most news on fox, cnn, msnbc, etc. is filler tabloid news (kobe, rush, peterson murder case) that only really affects a few people but doesn't really mean anything.

.02 cents

*Lovedumshrooms:The media was strangly silent about this type of thing when Clinton was involved, yet waited until only days before the election to do a story with witnesses who couldn't be named.

*Me:The media's been strangely silent when it comes to Bush's connections to big oil and the Saudis. It has been equally silent concerning Dick Cheney's connections to Enron.

*Luvdemshrooms: You should stop reading papers that only have funnies in them then.

Hey Luvdem, that was funny. Too bad you did what I have seen you do a lot on this thread. Knock down an idea without proof, logic or reason.

(ie: How often need I repeat this.

He was the best of bad choices.
He was the best of bad choices.
He was the best of bad choices.
...et all...)

Hey Luvdem, let me make my statement again.

I want to know what you REALY think.

The media's been strangely silent when it comes to Bush's connections to big oil and the Saudis. It has been equally silent concerning Dick Cheney's connections to Enron.

God, WHITEWATER got more press.

silversoul: Thank you...all those points are very important - without the shroomery and the internet we would barely even know the extent of what's really going on.

luvdemshrooms: Do you see real differences when it comes to government spending or sticking up for the constitution/bill of rights between the democrats and republicans?

Everyone: With regards to the war on terrorism, why haven't our borders been secured? Wouldn't that be one of the first things you'd do if you were in charge?

Oh, but our borders are being secured. Well, at least our borders with Canada and Mexico. But here's the funny part.

Since over 70% of Canada's exports and over 40% of their GNP come from trade with the US, and over 75% of Mexico's exports and 55% of their GNP come from trade with the US, well... we're making THEM pay for it. Why?

<sarcasm>
Cuz they owe us, goddamnit! We started up NAFTA so that they could make money to secure their countries' future by increasing their trade output, making them permanent partners in the "US Way of Doing Things (tm)".

So what if it's costing Canada over $650 million and Mexico over $200 million to do so. So what if both countries have had to cut back on health care and education in order to pay for strengthening our borders! It's not their fault that our borders need strengthened? HA! Our foreign policy may have started this mess, but they are our trade allies and they owe us their own livelyhoods!

Uhhhh... Just please don't mention that Canada and Mexico have both lost about a quarter of a million jobs (net) since NAFTA went into effect in 1994, or that Mexico has now nearly tripled it's output of toxic air polution (much of it within sight of the Texas border). We would appreciate it if they forgot about that.
</sarcasm>

Sorry - did I digress again?

It isn't so much the Conservative philosophy I mind (Small govt., low taxes, big military), it is their way of getting things done; giving the rich the biggest tax break, recall, impeachment, redistricting, not allowing votes to get recounted (Bush woulda' won Florida anyway, why not recount the damn votes?) and the Conservative tendancy to hide behind Christianity whenever trouble comes along. Religion has no place in American politics.

The media, certainly takes it easier on Conservatives than I do.
