storm1977 0 #1 November 13, 2003 New Gallop poll is out Does the Media have a LIBERAL bias? 45% yes it has a liberal bias 36% it is right in the middle 15% unsure So, I will quote our good friend Kallend. Kallend is a proffesor, and I thought an itelligent guy until he made this statement a couple days ago. QuoteThe "left wing bias" is a myth believed by idiots. So, kallend I guess 45% of us are idiots, or ... let me guess GALLOP Polls are not accurate. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmcd308 0 #2 November 13, 2003 More likely the former, although I disagree with Kallend's assertion that there is no liberal bias in the media. ---------------------------------- www.jumpelvis.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,110 #11 November 13, 2003 >Really, I thought the average IQ was 110-115 IQ is a relative measure of intelligence, defined such that the average intelligence level for a given age group is 100. From Psychology Online: What does IQ mean? An IQ tells you what your score is an a particular intelligence test, compared to your age-group. The test has a mean score of 100 points and a standard deviation of 15 points. What does this standard deviation mean? It means that 68 percent of that population score an IQ within the interval 85-115. And that 95 percent of the population scores within the interval 70-130. (We won't show the calculations for the interval-values to avoid difficult calculations.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith 0 #12 November 13, 2003 This poll is skewed; it doesn't have an option of "No." I'd be willing to bet a jump ticket that if you asked the same questions with 'conservative' in place of 'liberal' it would come out much the same. edited to add: what was the demographic of this poll?Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J.

Amazon 7 #22 November 14, 2003 Dude.. it is the CONSERVATIVES who do not readily accept change... think about this... New fangled idea that world is round.... CHURCH KNOWS its FLAT.. hmmm persecution happened... Think Galileo Returning to the history of religion, it alone is fraught with the slaughter of perhaps millions of people over the centuries. Rome looks back on a horrifying catalogue of murder, lies and corruption. Where does one start? The blatant lies? The Crusades? The Inquisition? The hundreds of destroyed and all based upon a different belief. The fear that must have spread through Europe at the power of Rome in it's treatment of Gallileo, and King Henry 4th of Germany. Was that right? It was thought so at the time. The reaction of Catholicism to the Protestant Reformation and then the persecution that followed. Of course the Protestants weren't much better. Elizabeth and Mary, both queens of England, one Protestant the other Catholic, both had their revenge on the enemy. So where is the Ultra Right with a president who truely believes in divine intervention taking the world? http://www.beliefnet.com/story/121/story_12112.html It's hard to believe that's the same George W. Bush. Since taking office -- and especially in the last couple weeks -- Bush's personal faith has turned highly public, arguably more so than any modern President. What's important is not that Bush is talking about God more, but that he's talking about him differently. We are witnessing a shift in Bush's theology--from talking mostly about a Wesleyan theology of "personal transformation" to describing a Calvinist "divine plan" laid out by a sovereign God for the country and himself. This shift has the potential to affect Bush's approach to terrorism, Iraq and his presidency. Maybe our forefathers really did want a separation of church and state... history taught them that.

storm1977 0 #23 November 14, 2003 Well, I see how it works now.... So when someone posted a poll taken on what Channels for news they watched, and then if they thought SH was connected to 9/11. That poll was OK. But when a poll which you don't agree with is taken, it must be bogus.... I get it.

storm1977 0 #24 November 14, 2003 http://www.gallup.com/subscription/?m=f&c_id=13968 OK so I was wrong... 14% say it is to Conservative vs. 45% say it was too liberal. So, Majority rules. But Kallend will tell you you are an idiot if you believe it. But hey, Kallend is in the 14% bracket. I guess he isn't the one in the know. However, these liberal crazies I am sure will come up with some logic as to why this poll is wrong and why the media is actually right leaning...

storm1977 0 #25 November 14, 2003 From a gallup poll in 2000. (Link To a web site below): Some Conclusions: 68% of republicans felt there was a media bias. 28% of republicans felt there was no bias. 40% Democrats felt there was a bias 49% democrats...No bias. "Democrats were much less likely to perceive Bias" Why??? (IMO) If the media is bias toward the left, and your views happen to be slightly left, it makes it difficult for you to realize there is a bias. Mainly because you and the media tend to agree more in ideology. "The researchers used telephone interviews with a randomly selected national sample of 1,012 adults, 18 years and older, conducted December 2-4, 2000. Gallup said that for results based on this sample, one could say with 95 percent confidence that the maximum error attributable to sampling and other random effects was plus or minus 4 percentage points. Gallup asked in 2000: "Which comes closer to your opinion: that the news media generally favor one political party over the other, or that the news media generally favor neither political party?" http://www.tvrundown.com/polbroka.htm ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
