Yeah, the media sure leans left (if by leaning left, you mean that they don't hold the GOP accountable for anything, but bash democrats non-stop if they happen to get a blow job).

Common sense: a tool that can be used to see media plays no part in promoting progressive (meaning forward thinking) politicians. They give the same old GOP farts free-pass after free-pass.

And BilyBob, you can post 50 pie charts. But you can't get around the fact that the media has been letting the GOP off easy on the disaster that is Iraq.
In what world are they letting the GOP off easy? What do I have to do to get to that world?

There are two working definitions of "liberal" in the current political arena.

And hate is not always a bad thing. Without hate, there is no love.

Negativity can be warranted. IT is not patently bad to be negative. Without knowing the negatives, there cannot be knowledge of the positive.

Do you actually believe this, or are you trying to make a sarcastic point?

In the case of you putting something I supposedly say into quotes you would have to show where I said that. Since I am denying that I said that you have no proof that I said that. If this had been an official media site or my actual name was used then I could legally sue you for slander.
They are liable only if they find out and if that person even exists. So it is possible they don't know since this is some obscure website. It's also possible that they completely made up a name and this person doesn't exist.

Try reading again but slower. Did I say all the bad in the world was done by younger people? No I did not. I said younger people are more gullible to those ideas. Which is exactly why skinheads, gang members, etc are almost exclusively recruited when they are young. Because they are naive, impressionable, and easily shaped.

And also, of course loudness has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative! That was my point! Political leanings are irrelevant, for every liberal, I can name you a conservative! Name me 1 thoughtful, and intelligent commentator, and I will name you 10 loud and controversial people! That is my point, it is about selling their news! And people who are loud and controversial get the best ratings. So networks don't care if they are liberal or conservative, as long as they are getting ratings.
Yes networks care about ratings. This is a thread about liberal media, so if this has nothing to do with that I have no idea why it was included.

Just the facts! Who, what, when, where, and how, is what represents unbiased news reports. It's when they say; "Now let me tell you why!", that the bias (BS) begins!

Teleprompter readers are not experts in anything other than what shade of cake make-up makes them look good in the studio lights and knowing which camera is on at the moment. They don't even have too know if it is camera "A" or "B"!

All the studies accomplished to show bias have absolutely nothing to do with bias broadcasting practices. They all have to do with how many bias think tank opinion surveys are discussed in an average 1/2 of actual news, within a 24 hours period. This is the determining factor of whether or not a so-called 24 hour news channel is bias or not.

It's like saying your child is a perfect angel when they are sleeping and ignoring the fact that "your" child set fire to the cat next door just before their nap! (???)

Again, you are generalizing, and not only is it a generalization but it is untrue! It was old people, not young people who brought about nazism! It was brought into the world by old people, so arguing it is young people who are skinheads(nazis), is silly! People join gangs not because they are gullible, but because they want to feel like they are part of something! Most old people have families and jobs, so they don't have to search for acceptance in gangs, and other things of that nature


Also, I don't know how many times I have to repeat this, and in how many different ways! The media is not liberal, because liberal does not get ratings!!!!!!!!! Loud and controversial gets ratings! So liberal is irrelevant! If a person is going to get ratings, their political ideology is unimportant!

I agree on that. Air America is tanking while Rush and FOX steamroll over all radio and tv competition. It also shows how average Americans really feel about issues.

But that's the wierd thing. You'd think with such proof of high ratings for the few conservative outlets there are you'd see more and in more of a main stream capacity.

But you don't.

There is a serious wall that is put up by the dominant liberal media to keep the other side isolated. It's so obvious otherwise why would'nt every other outlet move to the right to get some of those golden ratings?

They are not liberal! It is only paranoid conservatives, who want every story to be positive about republicans, who think it is! And I am sorry, but that will only happen on fox news!
