So you have proof that "everyone throughout" cnn, msnbc, abc, bbc, etc... is a "unashamed Obama supporter"?

You keep saying there is but I have yet to see it. You made a claim, now back it up.

Blissful ignorance it is. If you ever want to lift the fog of ignorance, google is your friend. For starters, google "pew research media bias".

If you agree NBC and ABC are both trying to brainwash the public into becoming Communists slaves for their facist Masters.

I think we have a textbook case of cognitive dissonance here.

And he can't even spell Fascist, much less identify one.

No links have shown anything near what claim you made.

I'm not going to do your homework. I've provided (and others have provided) links. If you want to learn something, you can go read. If you want to remain ignorant of reality, that's perfectly fine.

NUMEROUS studies through the years have shown the same thing: people involved in the main stream media overwhelmingly self identify as liberal. You can live in blissful ignorance of that fact is you'd like, that's up to you.
Click to expand...

Yes and those same studies do nothing to try to link that with skewed news reporting, those questions aren't asked. So you're pushing something that isn't linked to any data whatsoever.

No, its YOUR homework. YOU made the statement and have not backed it up.

It's been obvious for some time now that Fox has a clear conservative slant to their news coverage, but they always maintained the pretence of being "Fair and balanced". Now it seems they're doing away with even the pretence:



http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpps/news/news-corporation-gives-$1m-to-gop-dpgonc-km-20100817_9226384

It is of course a free country, so they can donate to whoever they like, and air whatever propaganda they like, I just wish they'd be honest about their intent. They're not trying to be fair and balanced, they're deliberately biased in favor of the GOP. They even have 3 of the top GOP presidential candidates working for them (Palin, Huckabee and Gingrich).

Also the actual media should stop pretending that Fox is a news organisation, and start calling it what it is. By lending it credibility they're doing us all a great disservice.

Fox is right leaning and the big three are left..... I'm surprised you aren't talking about abc, nbc and cbs..... no I'm not.

Looks like the Obama administration got one thing right when they said Fox really isn't news. Individual talking heads and perceived political standing pail in comparison to the owning company boldly pumping money into a political party. Fox news is just a mouth piece and generate brain farts for the Republican barbarians to run on.

We already knew Fox was biased, but no one expected them to confirm those allegations so boldly. I use to watch quite a bit of Fox, but they run such a cheap model over there. They don't send reporters anywhere, don't gather news, just bake up some propaganda and get some rating hits off that. Its good entertainment, its a good show. Somewhere to get some laughs, but its a joke.

Neither of those if the problem with Beck, and Olbermann is far better.

It says a lot that you don't even know what the flaws with Beck are.

'Those freedom riders are loud and obnoxious coming here to prove a point. They're no better than the KKK they complain about.'

It's like saying Saddam's spokesman and a journalist saying the spokesman is not telling the truth are no different, both out stating their views loudly.
