MINIMUM WAGE HIKES FOR THEE BUT NOT FOR ME......

Ok you know what? Don't talk about rhetoric when you just spewed a whole lot of BS that you don't even realize is BS, because of course, you don't actually fact check anything, you just swallow whatever load of BS the DNC prepackages for you without the benefit of critical thinking.

Lets see, where do I start? Lets start with this - I have a TV that just gathers dust. I don't watch FOX News, I don't watch the O'Reilly Factor, and I don't tune into Limbaugh. I get my news and information from a very wide variety of sources. Ironically enough, the majority of the news stories I read are links on the Huffington Post. Pretty sure no one can hang a conservative label around their necks. So don't try the rhetoric or talking points angle with me. That dog don't hunt. Originally Posted by SinsOfTheFlesh

Lets move on. Yes, Roger Ailes does acknowledge that he created FOX News with the purpose of having a media outlet that provides a conservative perspective. That is just awful given that every other media outlet - CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, etc provides media content with a liberal bias. And it bothers you to have one media source with a conservative slant? I'm waiting with baited breath for your condemnation of MSNBC et al.'s liberal bias. Originally Posted by SinsOfTheFlesh

I would argue ABC and NBC do NOT have a liberal bias. Only Conservatives hold this view. They are called "mainstream media" for a reason.

Regarding MSNBC, it is no secret they have a liberal bias. MSNBC doesn't attempt to lie about its orientation.

But now, lets talk about that bias shall we? Do you even know the difference between news reporting and political punditry? I'm not certain that you do. Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, O'Reilly, Limbaugh - these are pundits, not reporters. Do you know the difference? Originally Posted by SinsOfTheFlesh
Yes I do. The problem I have with Fox News is their attempt to present news (not punditry) as being objective. As a perfect example, just go to FoxNews.com. Most of the items are presented as news items, not opinion. Most of these so-called items are extremely biased, but Fox News doesn't admit it.

So what do the experts have to say about which media outlet is furthest from center in news reporting? Note: I've shifted gears from discussing political punditry to actual news reporting, a distinction I realize you have difficulty making. I am betting you would be shocked and dismayed to learn that Pew Research Center consistently rates FOX News closer to center than all other news networks. The one and only difference being that FOX leans right of center, while all other media outlets - every. single. one. of. them. - lean left of center. Originally Posted by SinsOfTheFlesh
Please give me a link. I would be interested in seeing their study. I searched their website for "political bias" but the only hits I got were polls they took regarding people's opinions about media bias. I did not find any study where they analyzed news content and made their own determination.

Pardon me, your hypocrisy is showing. Originally Posted by SinsOfTheFlesh

Why does the O'Reilly Factor earn more money than your so-called "regular" shows? Its all about the ratings. O'Reilly spanks his competitors in his time slot day after day, week after week. Just as the other shows on FOX - Hannity, Greta, and others - regularly spank their competitors in ratings. Originally Posted by SinsOfTheFlesh
I am not sure why you mention ratings. High ratings doesn't negate the fact these shows have an extreme Conservative bias. I don't have a problem with punditry shows since most people can tell this is a single person presenting their views. As I mentioned earlier the problem I have is with Fox News shows that are presented as newscasts.


And, just so we are clear here. Is this the sort of "regular" news shows that attempts to present news in a fairer manner?

It may be stupid programming to treat celebrity news with such importance, but obsession with celebrity is a different discussion.

Given you claim CNN has a liberal bias, why would they have that segment where they called out MSNBC on bad behavior? I would think that video supports the assertion that CNN tries to be neutral.

All the news that's fit to print! (err, mock) So tolerant! So professional!

I am not even sure what the big problem was with the video. The radio show tried to sensationalize the story.

Yup, more honesty from MSNBC!

I would hope you would not attempt to assert there is no racism in America, or deny that many Conservatives don't like Obama simply because he is black.

From a political perspective, Obama is not very Liberal, and he definitely has been no more liberal than Bill Clinton. However, Bill Clinton never had to suffer through all the hate-filled vitriol that Obama has, especially from the Conservative Media. Outlets like Fox News or Limbaugh have consistently had news stories or guests who say Obama is a Muslim, a terrorist, a Kenyan, unAmerican, unpatriotic, hates America, is a Communist or Socialist, trying to destroy America, etc.. I think Conservative Media has done a huge disservice to America.

Regarding NBC, one need only look at the how NBC repeatedly distorted the evidence related to the Zimmerman incident to see their agenda. And you must have missed this current event at ABC:


ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos has given $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation in recent years, charitable contributions that he did not publicly disclose while reporting on the Clintons or their nonprofit organization, the On Media blog has learned.

In 2012, 2013 and 2014, Stephanopoulos made $25,000 donations to the 501 nonprofit founded by former President Bill Clinton, the foundation's records show. Stephanopoulos never disclosed this information to viewers, even when interviewing author Peter Schweizer last month about his book "Clinton Cash," which alleges that donations to the foundation may have influenced some of Hillary Clinton's actions as secretary of state.

In a statement to the On Media blog on Thursday, Stephanopoulos apologized and said that he should have disclosed the donations to ABC News and its viewers.

"I made charitable donations to the Foundation in support of the work they’re doing on global AIDS prevention and deforestation, causes I care about deeply," he said. "I thought that my contributions were a matter of public record. However, in hindsight, I should have taken the extra step of personally disclosing my donations to my employer and to the viewers on air during the recent news stories about the Foundation. I apologize."

Stephanopoulos is the chief anchor and chief political correspondent for ABC News, as well as the co-anchor of ABC's "Good Morning America" and host of "This Week," its Sunday morning public affairs program. Prior to joining ABC News, he served as communications director and senior adviser for policy and strategy to President Clinton. He also served as communications director on Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. (Politico)

Just because he is the brother of an Obama speechwriter does not mean his network's media coverage is biased.

The Russian Times reports the MSM politics of each network: ABC, noting Stephanopoulos ties with the Clintons, is "perceived to have a strong liberal bias"; CBS as being "pro-liberal, pro-Obama bias"; and NBC as being "left-leaning to anti-Fox". RT refers to CNN as the "Clinton News Network".
