Question: Will the Right Wing ever tire of their Media?

[UberNeuman]

Over and over, they've been deceived; lied to... Yet some cling onto the message...

 

[werepossum]

Cool, I'm 100%!

No, because the non-right wing media are the ones who devote an entire media day to pushing Obamacare without dissenters even being allowed to BUY time. The ones who give us quotes by the "public advocacy Brookings Institute" and the "right wing think tank Heritage Foundation".

When the left took over the media in the sixties, it forced those not on the left to either look elsewhere or accept the viewpoint of the progressives coloring every piece of news they are fed. You guys may be livid that Fox News is being mean to ABC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/NBC/NPR/PBS and virtually every newspaper, but you guys created Fox News when you decided the point of journalism was to change the world to your liking.

No, because so many of them need someone to tell them what to think and to continually reinforce their belief that their own mediocre lot in life is someone else's fault. They've lost all critical thinking skills and have become incapable of differentiating between actual truth and what they need to be true to protect their egos. See Post #2 for but one example.

 

[Uhtrinity]

I would have hoped that Romney s loss would have pointed out the disconnect between right wing media and reality. All mainstream sources called for an Obama victory, right wing media was way off, but that didn't keep them from declaring victory upto the last minute.

Other than that the constant negativity has to be wearing thin with some, just look at how short lived air america was. Those on the left got wore down and didn't support it.

The problem is that the right has moved SOOOO far to the right that they now perceive unbiased media as left-wing. So this horribly biased right-wing media to them is average. Hell, even stuff that is only slightly biased to the right they view as the "librul media". They say you can't idiot proof anything because the universe will always create a better idiot. Well, the conservative American culture has created the better idiot. It's called the Tea Party and they control the far right message, which is a cancer that creates more and more idiots.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Real Journalism is dead. If you believe there is any bias for right wing you are INCREDIBLY retarded. Seriously. Severe case. Seek medical attention immediately.

A la' Trayvon Martin. He's White! BURN HIM AT THE STAKES! Oh shit, he's hispanic! ABORT MISSION! ABORT MISSION! WE CANT BRING WHITE GUILT INTO THIS ONE!

Why would you think that keeping the same opinion on subjects for a few decades is somehow "moved SOOOOO far to the right"?
It's a troll poll and a troll post by a leftie troll.

You claim that the right believes that our own mediocre lot in life is someone else's fault, yet it is always the left demanding that someone else pay for its health care, day care, college, birth control, yada yada yada. It is always the left complaining that "the man" is holding them down, that big corporations are unfairly victimizing them, that racism and sexism and ageism and idiotism combine to prevent them from getting a fair shot, that success is merely who you know and what station to which you are born. It is always the left complaining that no one deserves what CXOs make and that they are therefore entitled to it. It is always the left claiming it is entitled. Always. Undeniably.

Get 'em clue, Kee-Mo Sah-Bee.

Question: Will the Right Wing ever tire of their Media?

Will you ever tire of yours?

 

[jackschmittusa]

The significant point is that while there are left leaning media, they present their arguments with facts and usually start the next day's show with a correction if they have reported in error. You can argue about their interpretation of the facts or what the ramifications are, but they are facts none-the-less.

Way too much of what I have experienced with the rightwing media is that they rely too much on blatant distortions and outright lies to make their points. I remember a 19 minute segment about loans to "foreign" car companies (that were American) that was just one lie after another for the whole segment. I never counted, but there were probably 20 lies in 19 minutes. I was appalled. There were times with Glen Beck that I laughed out loud because he was so far out in left field with his BS. Actually hard to get upset when the guy goes farther down the looney-tune highway than Pat Robertson. Ann Coulter is another master of conspiracy theories based on invented facts. Rush has always had very limited knowledge about a lot of things that he extrapolates into a huge cloud of mental mush with a little hate thrown in.

IMHO, comparing the well known rightwing media with what is considered the leftwing media is not an apples to apples comparison.

To sum up,
left leaning media: Facts
right leaning media: Lies

Could you be any more of a hack?

 

[soundforbjt]

They'll have to change their media if they ever want the Presidency again. The demographics this last election is the writing on the wall. If you don't change the right-wing media's message, they'll never be able to attract any diversity in the electorate. Old white voters will not win a Presidential election anymore.

Holy crap. This is a sign of just how bad the rot has gotten on the right. If any of you actually believe this you are simply living in an alternate reality. What's sad is that the media you're listening to actively works to reinforce these delusions.

I wouldn't care if you guys were only hurting yourselves, but people vote based on this insanity.

Here's the difference between the left and the right in America.

The left is fairly straightforward about its wants: Strong welfare provisions. Socialized health care, day care, subsidized college tuition for the young, standing firm or expanding upon assistance to seniors via Social Security and Medicare.

The left is also fairly straightforward about where that money should come from: Big business (and medium and little business too).

The right doesn't want any of the above; earn the money that you use to live on by the sweat of your brow! But don't you dare cut Social Security. Or Medicare. Which are only two out of the three biggest expenditures of the federal government. Oh, and don't you dare cut the other big one, the military, either.

The right doesn't wish to demonize or take money from businesses either. So where should the money come from? By cutting government. And welfare. And parks. And PBS. What, that doesn't add up at all? Whatever. At least the right doesn't demonize business. Who cares if it wants the exact same things and has no idea about how to pay for them?

The left is entitled.

The right is entitled and delusional.

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

Neither side will tire of "their" media anytime soon.

Any liberal hoping conservatives will see the light and reject Fox News outright is dreaming. That's not going to happen, nor should you waste time trying to persuade them. It's useless, futile, and only strengthens their existing beliefs.

The best this country can hope for is that the modern conservative movement as we know it simply dies and is replaced with the moderate and Libertarian wing of the party. Remember it was not too long ago that Republicans were responsible for building the interstate highway, creating the EPA, etc. There's no reason to believe this party cannot get back to doing great things and being the proper counterbalance to progressive liberalism.

It appears they are well on their way to ultimately destroying themselves. This election should have showed them that this hyper partisan obstructionism is not what the country as a whole wants. Instead, it appears they are sticking to their guns and attempting to get even more "conservative". This will only turn off more and more demographics that they need to capture to stay relevant on the national scene.

The smaller and smaller the party gets, the less relevance their media sources have. This is really the only way they will become insignificant. Their media simply reflects the party itself. The party must change from within before you see any real change in their media.

Wait... that is actually the viewpoint of a liberal. Are you trolling?

 

[WackyDan]

Really? Because last I checked they sure like raising taxes on those they perceive as being "rich", on their way to being "rich" or just simply in the middle class.

The only tax increases I've seen were those for households making $250,000 or more, which would place them in the top 2% of all Americans.

If you think that making more than 98% of other people in the country makes you 'middle class'... well... okay.

He's not talking about you, obviously. You have the vast wealth and resources of the best anonymous people on the internet. Nice cars, beautiful women. You don't fit into the "mediocre" classification that he was referencing. You're the elite. And you don't hide it.

 

[MooseNSquirrel]

Confirmation bias is really hard to overcome, no matter what political bent you happen to be.

 

[blankslate]

yet it is always the left demanding that someone else pay for its health care

On the Health care point of your post you are very very wrong. The left simply sees the health care issue as falling under a common interest of the entire population much like the national defense in the form of a standing military does.

Just like how a strong national defense in the form of a competent volunteer military strengthens the nation so too would a health care system in which everyone pays into.

It would help lessen cases of bankruptcies due to the inability to pay for coverage or having to pay out of pocket because you couldn't afford insurance companies with no reins on their profit motive.

It would help reduce the death rate from conditions that weren't treated before they became serious enough that people without coverage can finally get into the emergency room. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" as the quote goes.

If as many people as possible were covered then many conditions could be diagnosed and treated while they were easier and cheaper to manage instead of an uninsured person having to wait until it was too late for non-emergency care.

Practically every other developed country has a national health care system and almost none of them have bankruptcies that stem from a person going into debt to pay for their health care.

What people in this country who are staunchly against a national health care system overlook is that a healthy populace benefits the country as a whole (in different ways) just like a strong military does.
