I for one think we need another government organization to enforce the slogans of all companies to ensure they are factual. I for one have been fooled to many times by my corporate masters its time someone stepped in and did something about it.

ah, this is a solid argument.


...in this contemporary world where we should simply assume that the notion of journalistic integrity is a bygone myth.

All you have to do is open your eyes.

Really, ONE example, is that too much to ask from someone making an accusation?

Or are you part of the anti-democratic party who don't believe in such things as free prss unless it adheres to your standards.

You have friends here, you know, Spidey is one, Craig is another, as far apart as they are, they can both agree on this one.

Wow, the fake SAS Officer comes to the rescue.

It's already known that leftist do not see the bias in CNN's reporting so nothing I can post will meet their criteria.

*Drum rolls* fox news are fair and balanced, perhaps it's because you are leftist you view it differently.

That would be feasible were it not for their blatantly rightwing hosts who actually promote the Tea Party and promote conservative ideals. Not to mention the Republican presidential candidates who now have shows on Fox. And don't forget the $1 mil donation to the GOP.

I think the very problem is that selective news are trounced up and chosen while the reporters are actually actors reacting with disgust or unadultered joy to them.

Some news are withheld and some are pushed beyond the local level to make a point too.

I guess you are cool with that, but don't fucking call it news because it's not, it's opinon bucketed and broadcasted for your pleasure.

I really don't know much about other US news but i can tell you that just because BBC is big on science doesn't mean that they are a Labour channel far from it, they actually have news that are presented as they are.

One day, perhaps the US will catch up to the free world?

LOL I'm amazed that liberals around the world never known much about US media - except they are all experts on FoxNews. Go figure. Perhaps you missed the part where the BBC were kicked off British warships because of their amazingly slanted reportage?

The thing I like about Fox is that when they are debating an issue they'll have a couple of honest-to-goodness liberal attack donkeys and a couple of honest-to-goodness conservative war elephants. That includes Baier and O'Reilly (right-leaning) and Smith and Greta (left-leaning) - not Hannity and I think not Beck (I never see him so I'm not sure what he does, but I get the idea it's not debate issues.) I still remember ABC (I think, might have have been a guest host spot on CNN) where George Steffanopolous (Clinton's senior adviser) hosted a debate on Clinton's policies. The left was represented by Carville and Begalla, two of the most vicious attack poodles ever spawned by the left. The right was represented by David Gergen (worked for Clinton) and Bill Sammon (Arkansas Republican, long time friend of Bill, and admitted Clinton voter.) Then we have CBS launching a series of attacks against Bush three weeks before his reelection, attacks so laughably biased as to cause them to fire the producer and anchor after only the first was aired. Then we have ABC launching a whole day to promote the President's version of health care, using hand-picked audiences and never a contrary point of view to be found. This is the state of "fair and balanced" among the other networks.

Consider too the Pew Institute of Journalism's study on the reportage of the 2008 election. They concluded that FoxNews is the counterpart of MSNBC. However the actual results were that Obama enjoyed a 6% advantage in positive reportage over McCain on Fox, around a 50% advantage in positive reportage over McCain on most other networks, and a whopping 96% advantage in positive reportage over McCain on MSNBC - in an election Obama won by 6%.

There's a reason why the left squeals so about FoxNews; it's because the left wants the news control enjoyed by Cuba or Venezuela. Because that's the societal model the left favors.

Just show me an example. The only shows I watch on CNN are Anderson Cooper 360 and Rick Sanchez before he got canned.

I already said that i don't know much about anything else because i'm english, do you have a fucking probling reading the words i type for you?

I'm not in the mood for an argument of this kind because you are being fucking daft and won't even consider what i write but rather disregard it so i'll leave this discussion right now.

You are fucking retarded.

What part of me finding Anderson Cooper left leaning do you not understand? I watched him when I had no choice (no other news channels in the hotel) and within 15 minutes changed the channel.

Surely you can find a video on youtube showing Anderson Cooper's bias.

For someone who speaks/reads English you sure have a hard time understanding what was typed.

Proving something has a leftest bias to a leftest is impossible.

You posted to me you fucking fake SAS wanker not the other way around!

A FUCKING EXAMPLE, provide it or shut the fuck up, is that so hard to do for your dumb arse?

Are you so fucking retarded that you don't get even that very simple request, find a fucking clip that represents what you are saying or shut the FUCK UP!

Fucking twats who whine all day get me irritated.

It doesn't really mean anything to me when you call me a fake SAS wanker, it really doesn't, you can choose to believe in what i say or you can choose not to believe in what i say, that is entirely up to you and it has no bearing on me what so ever.

However, you are a stupid little twat that cannot even answer a simple question.

That much is verifiable truth. so go fuck yourself, twat.

This is worth saying again:

That doesn't make any sense. I've watched Olbermann and it's clear that he has a leftist bias. Whether I agree with him or not on a particular issue, his bias is clear.

I assume rightwingers realize O'Reilly, Beck, Palin, Huckabee, and friends are biased to the right...

lmao!!!!!

I'll take that as a "i have no verifiable evidence of what is easily found on the internet but i'm too fucking stupid to even try".

That's about right, right?

Crap, why am i asking the retard...

Is that about right, anyone but the retard?
