Journalists begin abandoning Right Wing Media

[dmcowen674]

"Distortions and Lies" by Rush "poisons" public with "disinformation".

See Video below:

5-27-2004 Washingtonpost.com's Terry Neal talks to author David Brock, a former right-wing operative who has become a critic of the conservative media.

 

[conjur]

It's obvious he no longer had the moral fortitude to support this administration.

 

[Passions]

Can someone post a summary of the video? I can't view it.

 

[conjur]

Former right-wing columnist says right-wing columnists distort the truth and spread lies and have infected mainstream media. This journalist is now starting a new group to be a media watchdog looking for non-factual reporting (left- or right-wing)


Edit: I hate this keyboard

 

[Passions]

Sounds good to me. More Fair and Balanced news. A watchdog group will work out for both sides of media.

 

[Kappo]

ROFLMAO yeah thats typical libdem research!

"Hey! A guy said it! It is the word of god! What is this guy's name again?"

I don't suppose the survey showing that the vast majority of journalists consider themselves liberal matters much?

Wow, only 29 semi conservative journalists/reporters out of the thousands which fill our airwaves and print media...saying that conservatives dominate the media is much in line with saying homosexuals represent the majority.

And that list is among the ~7%.

Try again conjur - just because you could identify some Conservatives doesn't disprove the survey nor does it mean the media isn't liberal.

CkG, I am proud of you for finally using reason in one of your posts. (I apologize to everyone for being off-topic but it's a step forward for CkG in my opinion).

If you're referring to the latest Pew survey then your statement is a tad bit misleading, but probably still accurate. Of those journalists which identified themselves as either Liberal or Conservative the Libbies outnumber the Conservatives by almost 5 to 1, but the combined total of both groups was 41% of the sampling.

34% Liberal
7% Conservative

That leaves 59% which claimed to be Moderate or otherwise. Based on my experience I'd suspect that the majority of that 59% were either Left of center or full blown Libs without the guts to admit it. One fact that could certainly be extrapolated from those numbers is that 93% of the media DON'T consider themselves to be Conservative.

In 1995 the numbers were...

22% Liberal
5% Conservative

As the numbers clearly indicate Liberals still outnumber Conservatives in the media and in fact have added to their numbers at a greater rate over the last 9 years. One might also wish to consider these percentages in light of the fact that surveys show only 20% of the general public consider themselves Liberal, 33% Conservative.

what are you doing reading the conservative chronicle conjur? i thought the liberal opinion would be more up your alley.

 

[sMiLeYz]

Since liberals are bitching about the conservative agenda in the media, and conservatives are bitching about a liberal bias that doesnt really exist in the media...

Hey I got an idea!

Why don't we fvcking turn off our tubes, take everything with a huge pint of salt, and think for ourselves instead of listening to Rush, Hannity, Coulter, Franken and CO.

That would be swell wouldn't it?!

Imagine that... thinking for ourselves... :thumbsup:

Odd. Based on MY experience most people who are independent or who consider themselves moderate are actually conservative at heart. In any case, neither of us has hard data.

One assumption too many posters are making is that because the journalists proclaim themselves liberal, their message is liberal. If you think this assumption has a basis: show it.

Most journalists just report the facts. If you have an issue with which stories are used, that's the editor's job. Also, even if most journalists are liberal, how do you know most outlets are liberal?

And when it comes to op/ed pieces -- and I hope you don't consider them journalists -- it looks even in my book. If you consider radio personalities, then the so-called media seems predominantly conservative.

Buahahahahaha. That's awful kind of you there info but you're premise is flawed. Just because you finally saw how my posts are reasoned and logical doesn't mean I did something. Maybe you just had a moment of clarity. But yes, it was reasoned and logical - that's how I post. You could probably learn a thing or two if you paid attention

Most of your posts are along the lines of "Buahahahahaha. bleat. quip. quip. namecall. " (in no particular order). For once, with conjur, you didn't do that and stuck to the arguments. For that, I congrajulate you! Alas you have already fallen back into your old patterns.

I haven't seen any solid displays of reason in your other posts. Here, Conjur was suggesting something in his statement . What he was suggesting was flawed (that that list of names suggests there aren't more liberal journalists). In conjur's defense, he never expressly stated that but it could be fair to impune that view on his comment. (it's possible that's not what he meant).

But for this sentence, there would have been a high probability your next post would have been something as follows: "Nice try infopigeon. Bwahahahahhahah. Your premise is flawed. We've already been over this." For a moment there, with conjur, your arguments were clear. I will try not to forget that you are capable of being reasonable.

Yep - for a moment you had clarity...I see that moment has passed. I have faith though, that those moments will someday grow longer in length so you can see how things truly are. Heck, I even hold out hope that someday conjur will come back. Yep, I'm just that positive about things

Wrong again everybody. Of course the NeoCons would shift focus to the little minions instead of the big picture. The Money and Capital behind Rush, Hannity & CAD & Co have taken over the Media at the ownership level and are beginning the rotation out (Firing of existing "Liberal" staff) and replacing them with NeoCons.

I've shown that with the Ownership change right here in my hometown on here. They haven't printed an item against the Establishment since the take over and they never will. It's nothing but a Rush and Hannity Rag now.

Nice try though CAD, try again.
