Ban the Broadcast News Media - Democratic Party Bias is endangering the U.S.A.

Every single one of those items has been covered by every single on of those news sources. You're lieing, plain and simple.

 

Stop yammerin' about it and DO it.

Btw, the Republican Party has enough money sitting around to start up its own broadcast news media.

 

If you don't like what you see on NBC, CBS or ABC, don't watch their programs; watch Fox or CBN instead. What you want reeks of censorship and most likely violates the First Amendment.

 

That's so cute. Awwww.

 

The Communications Act prohibits the FCC from censoring broadcast material. Additionally, the Communications Act and the First Amendment to the Constitution prohibit any action by the FCC that would interfere with free speech in broadcasting. For example, the FCC cannot interfere with a broadcaster’s selection and presentation of material for the news and/or its commentary

I don't think you know what the FCC can do. They can't stop material from not being presented. That is a freedom of speech issue. They can't slant it. But even if they are a left wing, it doens't mean anything. Why? Because they can be biased and still tell the truth.

 

So many of you on the left do not understand the legal differences between broadcast networks and cable networks.

They have an audience of the poor and those unable to receive cable that depend on them for honest news. They are not delivering.

 

That is why they have broadcast delays? That is why they have nudity, language, and violence censorship?

You clearly do not know what you are talking about.

Look... if ABC, NBC, and CBS want to rename and re-brand their propaganda casts, then I have no issue. I do have an issue with it being sold as "news" when it is a very hard slanted bias used to propagandize the poor and those unable to gain cable news.

 

They can get also get their news off of the radio as well; most people, even poor people own radios. Either way what you propose is censorship.

 

Yes, that is a reason.

Well then I'm sure you explained to me, why I don't understand further down this post. After all being able to prove a point is important in debates.

And not a single thing I talked about. Where is my statement refering to prove a negative? Where is you can be bias and still tell the truth? Prove me wrong, then you can say I don't understand.

 

The Press is not "free" it is an arm of the Democratic Party. You really ought to read the O.P.

The press is DOMINATED by left wing ideologues pushing their agenda and the Democratic Party further and further left. They are using PUBLIC AIRWAVES to do it. We have lost all balance on the PUBLIC AIRWAVES in regards to news.

 

I think its false to call them main stream, FOX news gets half of American viewers, according to polls. So this is just our side, doing their best to help their party.

FOX is the conservative media, and they are losing right now, so its disengenuous, to say we have the whole media on our side, thereby making conservatives the little man, and welcoming mercy from the voters.

 

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

When you limit the exchange of free ideas in order to favor one political ideology, you are forfeiting everything that so many people fought so hard for.

You may not like the media, or parts of it. There are parts that I consider to be beyond idiotic. But restricting the rights of people because they do not allegedly favor your political ideology is a pathway to totalitarianism. I certainly do not need to be told what news outlets I can and can not watch.

Tres North Korean.

 

You choose to exist in a your right wing echo chamber where any news broadcast that does not castigate the other side is "liberal." You consider a presentation facts as biased because they are not presented to push your opinion.

Try turning off Fox. Tune out Rush, Laura, and Neal. Pick sites other than Blaze.

Perhaps after you've cleansed your mind of the echo chamber trash we can have this conversation.

 

How about the Can Party bias:

 

Blah blah blah... trying reading the O.P. Then try reading the link to the study on Media Bias with all the empirical data it possess done by UCLA.

You wrote words, but sadly said nothing.

 

Republicans have been scared that Obama would institute the fairness doctrine- now that they're losing suddenly you want to instate it?

Besides, someone not covering what you want is not the same as lying. The media have no obligation to cover your agenda's, you sound like Bill O'Reilly.

 

There was never a desire to employ the "Fairness Doctrine" on the CBS, ABC, NBC News broadcasts.... they claim was by the left that they were honest and fair. Now we know that is far far far from the truth which is what is not being addressed by the Liberals here. The broadcast news has been a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party for a VERY long time. It's not right and it needs to stop.

 

Yup, that ol' right to bear guns thing. We don't need it!

 

Note that liberal and lie start with the same letter. The end always justifies the means. You are not sure where to get the truth and the internet is not any better. Can anyone tell me where I can go and get the truth?

 

This is a fantastic question. To get the truth you must go to numerous sources, pick up the information that came not from the commentary, but from the real players and weigh it.

Also... you missed another question. Where do you get the information that is important that the Mainstream Media refuses to cover?


Admission: I started this thread not to Ban the National News Media. I put that up to get the thread going and to make the non-Liberals actually think about what ABC, NBC, and CBS are feeding the populace. We currently have a monopoly on the bias presented to the non-cable / satellite public in the broadcast T.V. segment. It effects families, elections, and business in very negative ways. My goal here was to make people aware of the problem with a heavily documented O.P. to expose the incredible media bias. I offered real studies, tons of examples, and the actual video of the media getting caught.

The National Broadcast News Media is acting as an arm of the Democratic Party. There is nothing right about it and everything wrong with it. It deters critical thinking, discussions, and knowledge.

The media may not be able to tell an independent mind what to think, but it can certainly dictate what to think about by with selective coverage.

 

I have a simple question...your first five words in your Subject Line- "Ban the Broadcast News Media"....


you're calling for censorship?

 

Read this again.....

It doesn't matter how much you dissagree with what they say

 

Rezko was sentenced to prison for a kickback scheme. The rest is an out-and-out blatant lie. People are sent to prison for committing crimes - not for who their acquaintances are. I'll just assume the rest of the piece is a lie, too, and not waste my time on it.

 

I believe the DP has become more liberal as the RP has become more conservative. I still remember Barry Goldwater in the 90's talking about how preachers like Jerry Falwell were poisoning the GOP with their own radical brand of conservatism.

 

"Every good American ought to kick Jerry Falwell right in the ass"

That was Reagan's biggest mistake, and Goldwater hated Raegan for it....which was involving idiots like Pat Roberts and Jerry Falwell in legislation
