I'm guessing to you anything that isn't 100% anti-Obama is this 'liberal media' you guys speak of. Fox constantly distorts and misleads their stories to fit their desired end result. Add to that talking heads like Beck and Hannity that insert their 'opinions' as proof of said analysis and you have a network that is the opposite of 'Fair and Balanced' as they claim.

So...what are you saying...your opinion is reality?

No, reality is reality. The 'liberal media' networks you claim are 100% pro Obama have run negative stories on him before and after the election. FFS the Rev Wright story ran 24/7 for weeks then the Ayers 'relationship' ran right after it. Then there was the 'bitter' story after it. Recently it's been Obama not getting his health care passed and the Olympics loss. IOW, your claim of 100% pro Obama bias is BS.

So...let me get this straight...your perception of reality is reality...I think I'm finally starting to get it...excuse me for being so dense :roll: FYI, I never said that the liberal media has never run negative stories on Obama...just as you never said that Fox News has never run negative stories on Bush. You apparently have difficulty understanding what I meant...taking my meaning of '100%' completely literal and using that strict interpretation as a strawman...come on...you're a smart guy...you can do better than that. Would it make you feel better if I said 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%...etc.? Please choose one that makes you feel that it reflects the meaning of a reasonable person trying to discuss something with another reasonable person. Or am I overestimating you?

It's a lost cause, I think. These guys seriously think that Fox is the only biased news source out there. Ignorance is bliss, as the old saying goes.

Fail, again.

Fail, again. When you can outline your argument, please feel free to discuss it.

Are you seriously suggesting that Dave McOwen represents anything more than a Party of One?

Robor was implying no one called for them to be removed. It isn't my fault that McOwned bats for the left. There was someone else as well, but I am too lazy to go back through all the pages.

OK, I am willing to give this some consideration. What would constitute a "left leaning" media source if one existed? For the sake of argument, I am assuming you are correct.

We have very little real 'left' anything in this country. We o have some 'liberal' media, but very little on television. Rachel Maddow has a 'liberal' tv show.

Examples of liberal radio include the Thom Hartmann show, or again the Rachel Maddow show.

The funny thing is, these are not 'counterparts to Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity'; they have much higher standards for accuracy. Currently, 'honest' and 'liberal' are highly correlated.

The 'liberal' label has more to do simply with the underlying selection of stories as being ones about the well-being of people and exposing wrongdoing that's mostly on the right.

That's in contrast to the underlying selection of stories in most right-wing media to largely attack Democrats or promote a party marketing topic.

There used to be big weekly meetings with dozens of White House, congressional, lobbying, industry, and other figures to 'set the same messsage for the right.

The right pushes an ideology. The left tends to push a rational approach.

What communists do is try to get rid of a free press. Be worried, be very worried. If you work in the media you should keep an eye on what O'Bammah's goons are doing.

The Obama administration has done nothing to eliminate the opposition press, they are merely criticizing what they see as an excessive affiliation between one cable network and a particular political party. Your paranoid fervor sees rather misplaced.

Also, your persistent misspelling of the president's name makes no political point. It just makes you look kind of dim.

Rupert Murdoch and the Republicans are the ones trying to get rid of a 'free press', by buying their way into market share (Fox had unprecedented subsidies when it failed in the marketplace to buy it share) - it's the liberal view that has been all but shut out of the mainstream media that has become owned by about 4 huge corporate conglomerates.

Try to get a liberal view really expressed on Fox - and then tell me how many stations Obama has closed down. You object to him telling the truth about Fox's propaganda.

This rumor will likely result in a few aneurysms, if true. :laugh:

Link

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp (NWSA.O) and John Malone's Liberty Media Corp (LINTA.O) are also interested in NBC Universal, though neither has approached GE so far, CNBC reported, citing sources.

The bright side for the libs - someone might start watching PMSNBC. :laugh:

This is news? Coming up next, the WH will announce that Limbaugh is head of the Republican Party.

Good. Be very scared Obama, this country is waking up to you. We The People will not allow you to destroy this nation.

You sound *exactly* like a right wing nut case I know. Of course, when you get all of your news from the likes of Fox and Rush I shouldn't be surprised two parrots say the same thing.

Is he or is he not scared that the country is finally discovering his true motives?

Also I don't listen to rush and don't think I've ever watched fox news. Most of my information comes from coworkers. The entire office hates the fucker.

You won't hear me deny that Fox is right leaning, but be a little honest here -- CNN is definitely left leaning and favorable to Obama.

You missed the link above, didn't you?

You obviously missed my posts in this thread. I don't deny Fox is right-leaning and has its own share of spin and propaganda; the point above is that CNN and MSNBC might be more subtle, but are just as guilty on the left-leaning side of things.

No.

Just because you spew that bull shit does not make it true.
--snip--

Still not true.

What isn't true? Are you DENYING that CNN and MSNBC lean left?

They are left of Fuckyou news but they are still right on the political spectrum. We don't have a left on TV.

OK, I am willing to give this some consideration. What would constitute a "left leaning" media source if one existed? For the sake of argument, I am assuming you are correct.

Maybe the Pacifica network if it still broadcasts. Radio free Berkeley.

It's even more amusing to watch the sheeple wingnuts try to defend the fraud that is Fox News. :laugh:

Apparently being a fraud is able to make the leader of the free world cry like a little bitch.

You're the only little bitch I see crying. Daily on this forum, I might add.

One more thing: Obama is smarter, more liked, and more successful than you will ever be. And he is black. Have a good day.

What are you, a prison guard? That's usually a refuge of frightened, authoritarian types. Polish them jackboots real good, soldat.

What does that have to do with anything in this thread or with what you quoted? Why is it that libs seem to keep bringing up race when they constantly try to claim the GOP is the one who is racist?

 

[ultimatebob]

I'd imagine that Fox News would be great if you were one of those conservative Christian Republican types... most of the articles have just enough conservative bias to insure that you'll never be offended by what you read.

Personally, I prefer listening to something like NPR, where they try to cover both sides of a story and let the listener make their own decisions on who's right and wrong.

Why did Beck call Obama a racist?

Beck != Republican party. So again, why do you post "And he is black"? The post you quoted had nothing to do with race, nor does this thread.

 

[bozack]

imagine the outrage of the whiney liberal left if Bush had shunned a network like this and played this high school esque game of favoratism...

Shows the Obama camps true colors...petty for sure.

 

[Fear No Evil]

We got a dollar losing value by the second, 2 ongoing wars, one of which is awaiting an important decision by Obama, Healthcare in crisis, 10%+ unemployed, the housing market is still in the crapper, banks are still not solid.. But yes, lets focus the Administration's time and efforts on attacking Fox News.. Yes.. thats what we need to do.. :roll:

And spare me the 'he inherited it' crap. We don't care.. you were elected to FIX IT not attack Fox News.

Odd, you have the same exact key words and phrases. In other words, I don't believe you. Sorry.

Yeah, facts have a thing about being universal. The country is waking up. It's wonderful to see them see what he is.

YEAH.. the country being everyone in your "office" right?

Way to go Obama, demonize and alienate the right and hope that they are crushed... so that you can blacklist any one who listens or watches them, kill free speech and freedom to choose. Divide America so that you can secure the votes.
What's next, are they going to collect the data from cable and satellite companies about who all are watching Fox?

That's OK, the WH has their own network -- CNN.

CNN favors Obama

Fox favors the idiots. Unfortunately there are plenty of idiots out there...which means $$$ for Fox!

I had no idea President Obama's Communications Director was so vital to all those issues! We must curtail all her media contacts immediately so that she can concentrate on fixing all these vital issues that FNE says she is letting slip while she comments on... White House Communications!

So she uses her time to talk about FOX NEWS? And not ANY of these WAY more important issues? She isn't trying to promote Obama's healthcare plan, his plan for Afghanistan, his plan for the economy, his plan for the unemployment problem.. etc... She uses the press time she gets for trashing Fox News... Really... Really?

She makes one appearance on one show where she comments on Fox News' status as the propaganda arm of the Republican Party, and you seem to think that is all she ever does...
