Liberals Shun Opposing Views Because They're Used to Controlling the Media

[DominionSeraph]

Pooper. Now you ruined it.

I stand corrected. Somehow even I managed to vastly underestimate a conservatard's ability to 'tard:

Oh really?

You are correct sir. Thanks for pointing that out.

The question is, why did you post a conservatard meme without first checking it out?
The funny thing is that if you would check your conservatard opinions before you posted, you would no longer post conservatard opinions.

Education: it's a helluva drug.

So bottom line we get $109B of deficit reduction over 10 years of Obamacare. This sure looks nice on the surface. But wait a second...it's going to cost taxpayers an additional $1.22T for the government to "save" that much money. Such a deal!

There is of course some health care that we occasionally get with it too or something crazy like that.

Anyways, that's neither here nor there. That's why it wasn't included, it improves the deficit over that term.

I like your sense of humor. Anyway...thanks again for setting me straight on that $109B deficit reduction...which just happens to be financed by $1.22T in additional taxes. Minor details. 😉

Yes, because liberals should engaged with idiots like you seriously. Oh, please do tell us again how Google is trying to destroy christmas by saying 'happy holiday's. Gosh, those damn liberals won't give your 'opposing view' the time of day, what a tragedy.

You just helped back their point with this comment... I don't even...

 

[Mixolydian]

It's been my experience that most people aren't interested in opposing views

FTFY.

All of this "Look how horrible people on the right/left are!" is getting old. Pot meet kettle, kettle meet pot.

I endorse this point of view, even as I engage in being a pot or a kettle.

If a man walked up to you, dropped his pants, stuck a popsicle up his ass, then in his mouth and said "mmm, tastes yummy. Here try one." You'd look at him and tell that you literally didn't want any of his shit. You wouldn't go "oh I respect your opinion but disagree". You'd tell him he was insane or an idiot. Everytime Incorruptible posts he's offering you a taste of the popsicle he just pulled out of his ass, sorry if liberals don't feel like taking a taste.

600 bucks to curb stomp a liberal? SO worth it. - Spidey07

That can only mean one thing.



Spidey is a liberal.

How cute. But you really should run along as I think I hear your Mommy calling.

She'd have left if you'd mentioned that mommy bought her a pony.

 

[Incorruptible]

I don't come around here much, but I question your intelligence.

He barely has any intelligence, Just look at his posts which are mostly rants, he sounds like an angry white guy😀

Every time I see one of these threads they are full of fail. Just because something is more liberal than you are does not make it liberal. Say if you are a moderate righty everything that is to the left of you is liberal including slightly conservatives and moderates. So calling the media liberal is very subjective.

Let's put our money where our mouth is... Look at contributions to the political parties. It leans to the right. I doubt those businesses are going to give money to the party they don't favor.

Obamacare reduces the deficit. Why would you put something that makes the deficit smaller in a chart about what the deficit is made of?

Just like it lowered everyones premiums?

 

[Matt1970]

Anyone want to respond to this? Oh the irony.

Is that from the same people who think debt won't be 100% of GDP till 2020-something when infact it hit that mark in 2012? Never mind the actual surpluses were just borrowings against Social Security and that revenues fell below expenditures before Bush even had one fiscal plan in place.

Bush tax cuts bad, let’s extend um 2 years, then make them permanent and still blame Bush for how much they cost. Brilliant!!!

Bush: 14 years of Presidency and counting.

Ok so your response is a blog.

Did you read it in its entirety?

It lists examples of people who remove themselves from covering people who they donated to, people who no longer work in the newsroom after they dontated, people who work for a news organization but are not reporters but their donations are reported as working as a media professional, "Other anomalies explain why journalists who seemingly made a political donation actually did not.", and others.

So you posted a blog that helps my position more than yours.

When it comes down to it the radio and tv owners pay the salaries of the journalists and media professionals and they are the people who decide what airs and what does not.

And did I say it was a blog that only cited one year.

I used opensecrets since you used them, it's not as if the record of journalists biased to the Democrat side is a surprise. Notice I said Democrats, not liberals.
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/01/p...=11800ba25496a8cc&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland

Let's ask ..........
"George Robert Stephanopoulos (born February 10, 1961) is an American television journalist and a former political advisor.

Stephanopoulos rose to early prominence as a quick-witted communications director for the 1992 U.S. presidential campaign of Bill Clinton,[3] subsequently becoming White House Communications Director then Senior Advisor for Policy and Strategy before departing in December 1996. Today he is chief political correspondent for ABC News, co-anchor of ABC News' Good Morning America, host of ABC's Sunday morning This Week,[4] and primary substitute for ABC network anchor Diane Sawyer on ABC World News.[5]"

...........about it.

I will see your Stephanopoulos and raise you a tony snow and Dana perino.

Also there is a huge difference between a blog which you posted and a link to numbers like I did. While I have no problem with a blog but it comes down to it is still a blog with some hard numbers but in it they noted their are descrenpcies with its numbers.

 

[monovillage]

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but Tony Snow passed away in 2008. Let's have a moment of silence for him.





If you'd read this thread you'd see that conservatives have no problem with admitting the bias of Fox news or other outlets. It's only Democrats, progressives and those on the left that lie about media bias.

Agree. Fox News is to the right and I dont understand how anyone cant comprehend this. They do have some left wingers/liberals because they would be boring with just being one-sided

But many leftwingers/liberals deny the bias of the MSM and this is wrong

 

[monovillage]

Even President Obama in this interview recognizes the fact that much of the media is "left-leaning.

The president argued that “the more left-leaning media outlets recognize that compromise is not a dirty word” and that party leaders, including Senate Majority Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, are “willing to buck the more absolutist-wing elements in our party to try to get stuff done.”

The passing away of tony snow does not negate the fact he was a fox journalist and a wh spokesperson. But kudos for the diversion.

I am not talking about fox I am talking about the media as a whole. Again put your money where your mouth is at and look where the media donates to.

Wow is that what you got out of that... You need a refund on your schooling... He did not admit that the media is more left leaning. He is talking about the left leaning media would benefit more if they would not view compromise as a dirty word.

Admit it, you're just another unscientific media bias denier.

 

[fskimospy]

Admit it, you're just another unscientific media bias denier.

You seriously can't read your own quotes. Media bias has been studies at great length, significant bias has not been found.

You don't want to believe this because it hurts your ability to feel persecuted and victimized, and the right wing thrives on a culture of victimhood.
