The ONLY and I repeat ONLY people that claim the press isn't politically biased in the country are fucking liars. You can sometimes give a little wiggle room to idiots, but no one in this forum is that fsking stupid. So liars are all that remains.

Yes, conservatives are poor victims of the liberally biased media, poor victims of liberally biased science, poor victims of liberally biased education, poor victims of liberally biased government agencies, poor victims of liberally biased message board moderation, etc, etc.

I have never seen a more pathetic group of entitled whiners than modern American conservatives. Take some personal responsibility for once.

fucking and fsking in the same post... how odd. is it bipolar, I mean that would explain a bunch, but I kinda doubt that.
 
Haha, peer reviewed.

Let me guess, peer review and academic research are liberally biased so any empirical studies that show you're wrong about media bias are just indicative of more bias against you.

Are you trying to prove me right? If so you're doing an excellent job.
 
Your argument fundamentally doesn't work as anything other than a mantra to tell yourself that you're correct.



That's really what matters to you, isn't it. You don't feel like a first class citizen anymore, do you? You put in the effort, act the part, and other people are a priority, and worse yet, government seems to side with them.

It's not whether or not things are true or not, it's whether they have you in mind, isn't it?
None of this is relevant. Do you talk to yourself because you like the sound of your own voice?
 
Lol, when he's talking about bias it's what he 'knows' and when he's talking about the cause it's what he 'thinks'. Did you not even notice that you just confirmed exactly what I said about you and information you don't like?
That's because it isn't true. You're so arrogant that you think your declarations mean things are the way you say they are.
He is simply saying that if news appears unfavorable to conservatives it is because the facts are unfavorable to conservatives. Your desperate attempts to turn someone saying the news is biased towards the facts as vindication of your evidence-free claim that it is biased against conservatives shows you're either extremely stupid or extremely immoral.
Both of our view would be that the press is biased against conservatives. Period. Explaining that fact would be the next step.

Do you know of any? Peer review is biased, by the views of the peers doing the reviewing. Of course you agree with that?

Nahh, actually. The only way you'd keep posting like this, arguing things into the ground but not actually engaging with the points is because you're trying to make things work with the foundation of your worldview. If I actually really needle you on that there's even odds you blow up or go away.

Seem to be contradicting yourself.

What's contradictory about that? All a bias is is a tendency to one option more frequently than others. Facts line up with the liberal view more frequently.

No he just plays dumb so liberals can waste their efforts trying to educate the "idiot". He's very good at it.
It is definitely infuriating seeing someone post so many incredibly stupid things. You want to fix them because deep down you want to believe that even the worst people can be fixed, can be good. But you're probably right in that it's a waste of time and people like buck and taj are beyond help, they're happy being stupid assholes. It's hard wanting to fix the world and having to accept some people are beyond fixing.

Ignore feature is a thing. I'm sorry that you are so triggered by reading ideas that you do not agree with.
 
Yeah, I'm frankly amazed they haven't gotten lifetime vacations for being just completely unsuited to actual discussion. Like, not even any specific thing they said, but the fact that there's almost zero signal-to-noise ratio in it, and a clear intention not only not to improve but to purposefully stay this way, for the express reason that they enjoy the (real or imagined) sufferings of their supposed enemies.

Guess that's why I'm not a moderator, LOL.
 
I agree with you about reporting facts but it isn't just about reporting facts that makes bias evident. Its how you report the facts, how you present it and how often you report it. Do you think if a bunch of conservatives were locking down a campus with this nonsense it wouldn't be a bigger story? I have no doubt. Do you?

I'll answer that question in the same way I answered Dixiecrat when he asked if the cop would have pulled the trigger if the guy had been white. The answer is, I do not know, and neither do you.

I will say this, however. Like Dixecrat with the police shootings, you are treating the media's liberal bias as an axiomatic assumption, without considering alternative explanations for what you see. So if you are looking at CNN and seeing that it often looks like an anti-Trump tabloid with obsessive focus on the Russia investigation, then you may decide that this confirms your assumption about the media's liberal bias. Or you may consider an alternative explanation which is based on hard facts. Fact: the media is corporate and shareholder owned. Fact: the media's focus on Trump gaffes and Trump scandals has produced record ratings. TV ratings, newspaper subscriptions, and website "hits" are through the roof.

Several liberals have argued in editorials that the press's obsession with the Russia scandal is distracting people from the terrible things the GOP is doing with healthcare and other policies. They may be right, but the media isn't going to change its focus, not when they're getting these kinds of ratings. Discussion of policy may put viewers and readers to sleep. Scandal sells.

On the whole, I think the media is pretty accurate with facts. I don't agree with many conservatives who say it is "fake news." I do, however, agree that there's a bias in emphasis of certain facts over others. However, I'm not so sure that the liberal bias theory, which is universally believed by conservatives, is correct. There's plenty in the media that is inconsistent with the liberal bias theory, and very little that is inconsistent with media sensationalism.

This is the only actual good post to come of this. Thank goodness.

It's simply an evolutionary advantage for degenerates to exploit the decency of people who find value in education. So to be fair we should look at it as we might the role of parasites in nature. The solution is to alter the ecosystem so there's a cost to bad behavior, for example the social stigma tied to racial bigotry.

Ignore feature is a thing. I'm sorry that you are so triggered by reading ideas that you do not agree with.

^To illustrate. Buckshot has a reputation for reciting the ideas of race realists in exchange for their political support (to win election like the one for this thread). Making this abundantly clear will put pressure on people inclined to agree with him think twice about publicly displaying that support.

What do you think the liberal bias theory is?
 
That's because it isn't true. You're so arrogant that you think your declarations mean things are the way you say they are.

Says the guy who has spent this whole thread declaring things are the way he says without providing any facts.

Lol. Hypocrite.

Both of our view would be that the press is biased against conservatives. Period. Explaining that fact would be the next step.

This has to be one of the stupidest or most flagrantly dishonest arguments I have ever seen on here. You are basically saying this:

Buckshot: the media is biased against conservatives.

Others: the media is biased towards reporting facts.

Buckshot: so we both agree it's biased!

This is dumb and dumber levels of stupidity, 'so you're saying there's a chance', style.
 
Do you know of any? Peer review is biased, by the views of the peers doing the reviewing. Of course you agree with that?

Please PM me if you are in fact a liberal person playing a character designed to make conservatives look bad. It's almost the only plausible explanation at this point.

In fairness many degenerates don't care if they look godawful, hence the categorization. The trick is to use those who don't against those who do.

If you're concerned with honesty why would you not just quote what I really said and what others said? Instead you present this absurd representation to mock me.

Or that your arrogance has so deceived you that you think your words equal truth by definition. Instead of trying to understand what I'm saying you just mock and lie about it. You were the one talking about a team mentality but all you seem to want to do is win at an argument.
