Conservatives do have their own sites. Ones like Pajamas media, Breit Bart's site and many others, I think a new one by CEI soon. You don't know about them because you never stray off the leftist reservation and no one links to them since they're so biased and one sided they're useless in any kind of political discussion........... kind of like mediamatters.

How can media matters be biased when the post the actual videos? Are you claiming they edit them?

Do you know anything about mediamatters? Even sourcewatch has a page on them.

It's just an extreme left wing Democrat/liberal/progressive site. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's certainly not a trusted source for anyone that's interested in the overall accuracy of the media.

I am not disputing they are left wing but how can you contest actual videos? I mean I am not posting opinion pieces here.

Not everyone puts their party first. While you may not be able to relate to subordinating partisan interests to the greater principles of right and wrong, many do not suffer from this defect. We tend to use words like honest, character, integrity, and even just "professional" when talking about these people.

We had a good discussion about Media Matters within the last two or three months. The usual nutter partisans were all bent about it, hating on them because they factually expose the lies of the right. When pressed, however, they couldn't refute anything Media Matters produced. But they knew Media Matters must be lying because it was liberal.

Why is is righties like Monovillage find it so hard to conceive of people being anything other than blindly partisan liars? I think it's because the world they see is a reflection of themselves.

Are you disagreeing with what I posted Bow? It's accurate and linked to prove it.

Not at all. Media Matters is funded by liberals and its mission is to expose the lies of the right. That doesn't change the fact that none of the haters in the last thread could show where they'd lied about anything, just as you haven't shown it here. Media Matters has an agenda, but they still strive to do their job honestly and accurately. I said in that thread that although I would never rely on them as a sole source of information, they certainly appeared to be a reliable source.

Thanks for agreeing with what I posted.
That they are a Democrat/liberal/progressive group that's biased and can't be trusted to be a source for anyone looking at the overall accuracy of the media. They do not and will not report on any inaccuracies in the left wing nutter media.

So far, so good.

And then you dive straight into another lie.

They are a great source. I just wouldn't use them as an only source. I can't think of anything I would accept as the single source; every group has its strengths and weaknesses.

I can read this forum and easily see for myself. Why would I go to a Democrat/liberal/progressive site that of course will cast all blame on Republicans/conservatives and no blame on themselves?

Everyone needs to go to mediamatters occasionally just for the lols.

He heard it on Fox "News".

FoxNews got it from the AP, who had a video of a bunch of union leaders laughing hysterically because they told Ausm to use his hand instead of paper and he did it without even thinking at all.

Was pretty funny, too. THey blurred out his butt, which was nice of them.

You realize you're not funny or clever, right? Just juvenile and boring.

Come now, you simply have no sense of humor. Pitty, I would have thought you could be witty and follow through with a tit for tat.

Oh well.


But you do know FoxNews gets almost all of its news items from the AP, right?

I have a great sense of humor. Unfortunately, your response was not funny, nor was it clever. It was just juvenile, and thus boring.

But I guess I pointed that out already. Perhaps reading isn't your forte.

First, I'm highly skeptical that Fox gets "almost all of its news" from the AP. That sounds like one of those statistics you pulled from your ass, as you put it in another thread tonight.

No matter, however, since the source of Fox stories is rarely the issue. Rather it's the way Fox perverts stories into right wing propaganda once they get them.

Edit: and perhaps even more to the point, the problem with Fox "News" is the way so many of you blindly accept everything they say as gospel, blindly guzzling every word without any attempt to engage critical thinking skills. You then prance around proudly parroting their disinformation and patting yourselves on the back for being so smart and informed.

Nah, you simply show you do not know what a sense of humor is, you think you have one, when you do not. It makes sad panda even sadder.

It is true, the same is true for all news outlets. Look at the bylines of the new articles. Only the investigative reporting and local news is done by the actual outlets. Mundane world events are done by the AP.

How unsurprising that you focus on the part that's irrelevant while totally dodging the part that matters.

Just to offer a little data showing you pulled your claim out of your ass, I just checked the 16 stories under the "Latest News" tab on Foxnews.com. Only eight of them came from AP. Of course I could see Fox perverting "half" into "almost all", so I suppose you're only following your leader in dissembling.
 
Bowfinger said:
Sorry, I see no point in continuing to discussing something that is both inaccurate and irrelevant. Of course I'm not trying to deny and duhvert attention from reality, so I suppose our priorities differ.

You brought up the inaccurate and irrelevant portions as an attempt to derail everyone from seeing that you have no sense of humor.
