Default The bias in the mainstream media

I hate watching/reading the main stream media. They are all bias (yes, fox too). They leave out important news. Many consider fox to be bias and that they support the conservative side. This is not fully true. Sure, their talk shows are pretty conservatively twisted but they are "talk shows". The news displayed on the msm is bad. If you haven't, read bias. Luckily, we do not need to depend on the msm anymore. We have great online news sites and blogs (like real clear politics, powerline, etc.) that get the word out. I also, like Rove, think that "[conservatives] have had more success online" (the quote goes something like that, when Rove said it in NH).

Any thoughts on the media? BTW, I am in full support of prosecuting the times for the finance tracking.

A very good point. I tend to move towards the military channel when I get bored (just because I love to see things go BOOM)

listen to TALK RADIO? And if you do, do you consider that as part of the "MAINSTREAM MEDIA"?

Default You know..

If you want to be well informed on the WEB, visit the liberal sites as well.. Don't just stop at POWERLINE or LITTLE GREEN FOOTBALLS or REDSTATE..

Go to Daily KOS, ESCHATON, DIGBY etc... as well..

Get both sides..

yes, there are conservative media barons aswell as liberal one's. [I think they've all been pissed off big time to be honest with you, hence in 3 or 4 years time this hole debate will probally be irrelevent.]

Default So there's a liberal media...

Is it really all that bad? Conservatives have the presidency; they have Congress; Looks like they're even gonna have the Supreme Court. And on top of all that, they wanna stamp out the liberal media.

When's it gonna end?

Default I, Fascist Madman.....

The Christian Fascist of America fights fundies, Jews, homos, feminists, commies, atheists, anarchists, and minority activists. He fights them with rabies boiling in his blood. He's a monster lurking in society, camouflaged as a normal person.
