Is the rest of the media biased after all?

Is your mother a whore? What? I'm not saying she's a whore. I'm just wondering out loud if she's a whore. All I'm saying is reasonable people who have banged your mother for money can disagree.
:glag:
A prophylactic protecting Fox News from anything it might contract from it's extensive GOP cocksucking......?
:glag:
i wanna watch that shit but my brother is uploading the world or something. so my interweb is clogged up and shit.
talking heads or columnists of oppinion err, columns should be able to say they support abortion because it's how they get thier fetal sandwiches and not have thier journalistic integrity questioned. because they're not reporting, they're giving thier oppinion. "fair and balanced" reports should not be spun to support one sides oppinion.
*i realise this is probably a moot point because i don't get fox news and i can't even watch any clips on the interweb right now. if those tickers shown on the daily show were from actual reports or debates you're more than welcome to suck it though

Neither was it an MRC event.
Your last quote is accurate...and taken directly from the mouth of John Stewart himself.
Your post is misleading in it's attempts to mislead, and you are misleading into the bargain.
It is for others to decide the merits of your posting, but I have decided (only for myself, you understand) to ignore your posts henceforth.
"The" has an excuse, as he is merely young and uninformed.
You can make no such claim.
Oh what to do?:cry1:
...and I have decided for everyone else, comprehenday, to ignore your posts too, vid, henceforth, forthwith, fortnight and heightwidth. :snooty:Quote:

i'll uninform you! :fist:
personally i'd say i was more excitable and arrogant. is excitable the word? i dunno.
the intention of these questions is to make you feel stupid if you don't agree. fact.
it doesn't make it ok if someone else did something bad. fact.
news should be about giving you facts and letting you make your own oppinion. <<< let's argue about that line
I agree and wish we could reliably get just the facts, however the thing is that much of "news media", both TV and radio is made up of opinion shows in a news show format. Opinions are presented as facts. So unless one visits many outlets one may not be exposed to the truth and even then what you decide is the truth may not be.Quote:

bad analogy but i'm right :pinch:

Again, I will leave the digestion of his regular presentation to those he thinks can't sort his tactics-people like you, The.
He just pulled the wool over your eyes, and you thanked him for doing it.
As for your disinclination to flesh out your own personal on-board database, you may substitute the word ignorance for your own choice of the word "arrogance".
Even vid has forgotten considerably more than you will ever know.
in that case ...............
In the US most "opinion shows", the vast majority in fact are leaning to the right wing, and although I freely admit that there is bias on left leaning opinion shows, the fact is that such shows are just a drop in the ocean of commentary and in no way whatsoever balance propaganda out.
I will define bias as only reporting bad things about "the opposition" and good things about "your side"
In the video i linked to they were complaining about the reporting that tom delay is accused of doing suspect things and breaking the law..... then complaining that the media didn't cover laws he did not break.
That is not bias, that is reporting the news that they don't like.
where did he pull the wool over my eyes?Quote:

i like the mind games in here, but only when i know i'm playing them. is "thinks can't sort his tactics" flattery or an insult :unsure:
it might just be me but i see the overlay on news channels as a seperate thing to the programming. kind of like how the GUI on your internet browser is nothing to do with the website you're browsing. the overlay should show the topic not a bullying statement.
btw how can a station called "conservativetalkradio" not mix oppinion shows into the programming? :pinch:
Foxnews could more accurately be called the republican media dept.
It is undeniably bias. It is what it is and all the "oh but this report on this other outlet wasn't kind to bush shows left wing bias" isn't going to change what foxnews is.
If you're still in denial about Foxnews, watch this.

What business has a producer got trying to influence anything?
She obviously has divided loyalties and an agenda, to boot.
Though I'm sure that's okay with you, it is not proper.
Please try harder.
Could it not be about trying to remove preconceptions?
Is the news supposed to be based on loyalties or facts?

I think Fox News doesn't like facts revealed when unfavorable to the Republican party so they think fair and balanced means putting out "facts" that are favorable.
This reminds me of the one side with evolution then the other "side" with intelligent design. Neither is fact but one has a basis in facts and the other doesn't....just faith.

The White House must have been funding it cos it went without commercial interruption for 4 hours. If the WH didn't fund it then I see ABC getting some politcal blowjobs cumming their way.
To make up things that never happened as was the case with "The Path To 9/11" was shameful.
Clinton made some mistakes and one can't change that and they should be shown, but to invent them to try to blame someone for what happened is beyond defense.
It's not like 9/11 happened 300 years ago. The facts are there and there was no need to use dramatic license.
Facts have little bearing on anything the current US or UK administrations do.Quote:

I think there is a difference between making the wrong decisions when the facts are not known for sure and doing it after they are. With the WMD they wanted to believe Saddam had them and I think they cherry picked the evidence that supported their belief and stated their belief as fact. They made the wrong choice as to what the facts were, perhaps deliberately, but we don't know that for a fact. :wacko:Quote:

Which makes me suspect that the "war on terror" is a handy tool to achieve a different objective.
Iraq was a much tougher case to justify. But in both cases they went in with suspicions as to what the facts were. They may have manipulated those suspicions and certainly acted before they knew what the actual facts were.
All of this makes no impact on inventing things we know didn't happen when making a "docudrama" about what led to 9/11.
If lawmakers ignored facts show it. If they made mistakes or bad choices show it. History is too important to be based on fiction and it is vital to get it right from the start.
On the contrary, I believe they knew there were no WMDs. The invasion of Iraq was very rushed, with no real planning of what was going to happen after what would be (and subsequently proved to be) a comparatively easy incursion. Why the rush?
There is only one rational explanation, namely that their pre-planned excuse for the invasion was about to be exposed as false by the UN's inspectors. Most people who saw past the rhetoric expected and predicted that result.
In my opinion, this is just a continuation of the fabrication process, and they see no difference between distorting what we know to be false and what has yet to be shown to be false. We can expect more of the same, if you tell a lie often enough it eventually becomes accepted as the truth.
It's a trick they've learned from Hitler's Germany. However there's a big difference. Hitler actually believed the crap he came out with, these nutcases do it because it is politically expedient.
That's why it's history.Quote:

ROVE: Look, Rog, I've forgotten all about that night. It was a one time thing. For both of us.
AILES: Yeah...
ROVE: Anyway, this Foley thing could really kill us with the fundies. I mean, they are quickly figuring out that we covered for a queer pervert who molested boys just to extort money to funnel into other congressional races.
AILES: Brilliant plan, Karl, like so much of your work. And just to make clear: I'm not gay.
ROVE: Me neither. Anyway, you know how fucking stupid these fundies are...
AILES: Abso-fucking-lutely! They thought Terri Schiavo was coming back to life!

ROVE: Well, here's what I'm thinking...
AILES: Go ahead. I'm all ears. Just don't grab `em and pull my head down to your crotch!
ROVE: [LAUGHING] Did I hurt you last time?
AILES: Shut up. I think I bugged my own phone last week, but I was too drunk to remember if I really did it. Go on...
ROVE: Okay, here's the plan. Keep running photos and video of Foley but instead of putting the tag "R dash FL" for "Republican-Florida" under his picture, put "D dash FL" for "Democrat-Florida."
AILES: I... I don't...
ROVE: The fundies will think Foley is a Democrat!
AILES: Holy fucking shit! That's genius!
ROVE: Of course!
AILES Those dumbfucks will really believe Foley is a Democrat!
ROVE: It's on FOX News!
AILES: So it must be true!
ROVE: Exactly.
AILES: And that will make them turn out more, not less.
ROVE: Nevermind the work they do in get-out-the-vote.
AILES: Damn. You're good.
ROVE: Next time you see me, you can kiss my pinky ring.
AILES: You put a ring on it now?
ROVE: My baby finger, Rog, not my Karl Column.
AILES: I love that you've named your thing.
ROVE: Luntz ran a focus group and came up with it.

[AILES AND ROVE LAUGH]
AILES: Fuck if I know. I was trashed.
