PhillyKev 0 #2 June 3, 2004 There is NO conservative bias in the media. Other qualified political commentators: Pat Buchanan, Fred Barnes, John McLaughlin, David Gergen, Robert Novak, William F. Buckley, George Will. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #3 June 3, 2004 Quote It's almost worth watching the jackoff to see what spews from his mouth. That's why they hired him. And, remember he's been hired as a commentator -- not an anchor or reporter -- a commentator. He's -supposed- to have a viewpoint that keeps you interested. If they want to give facts and figures, those will come from Brokaw.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greene 0 #8 June 3, 2004 If you really dispute this fact, then you do not watch much TV, including national tv news, reading the national newspapers, local newspapers. etc. I read all the above. Sometimes I agree with the liberal and sometime the "the right". But I am not a closed minded person as you seem to be, and you are very set in your mind, know matter what is right or left. OR you only read, view, or go to the movies that promote your stance. I know you are a very bright person. However, you are set in your ways and have a closed mind. Skies blue. PS: I am very proud of your son for serving our country. God speed to him, and a safe return to you. Proud of you for rasing a soldier. Skies blue Lee .

skydyvr 0 #9 June 3, 2004 QuoteFor the Nth time: It is a free country. If a conservative wishes to start a newspaper or buy a TV or radio station to promote his views, there's absolutely nothing to stop him. And whenever that happens, the outlet usually becomes wildly popular, for example Fox News and numerous conservative magazines and talk radio shows. Why? People are tired of the long-time stranglehold liberal news outlets had on America for so long (NBC, ABC, CBS, etc.). BTW, how's Airhead America radio doing lately? QuoteIf there exists a bias (which I dispute) then the conservatives have only themselves to blame. 7% of national journalists claim to be conservative. 34% claim to be liberal. The rest are somewhere between, probably mostly left leaning moderates. Those numbers indicate a huge potential for bias. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,119 #10 June 4, 2004 >And whenever that happens, the outlet usually becomes wildly >popular, for example Fox News and numerous conservative >magazines and talk radio shows. So you are arguing that popular media is conservative. No argument there, but you seem to be contradicting the premise of the thread. >BTW, how's Airhead America radio doing lately? Franken's show is doing considerably better than Limbaugh's show in several markets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The US media represents a free market in ideas and has done for years. Anyone can start a newspaper and, if wealthy enough, own a radio station. Free markets balance supply and demand. Ergo we might conclude that the status quo fairly accurately represents the balance in the population as a whole. So if YOU think there's a liberal bias, the probability is that the bias is yours, in the other direction. NO-ONE is stopping you from starting your own media outlet....

Trent 0 #20 June 4, 2004 I say Sharpton is a jackass and I'm whining, according to you. You asked for an explanation for my statement: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1100604;#1100604 Whine http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1101007;#1101007 Whine http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1101042;#1101042 Whine http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1100428;#1100428 Whine http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1090497;#1090497 Whine But that's just my opinion. I don't see how it is any more insulting than you telling me to stop whining. I just felt it was odd hearing someone telling me to stop whining when they take every chance they get to whine about Bush, Guns, etc. Honestly, I'm not going to whine about Sharpton being a liberal icon/pundit. If that's who's gonna represent liberal views, I'll just continue to laugh my ass off.Oh, hello again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #21 June 4, 2004 Sharpton hardly represents the views of all people left of center. That said, he is a very promenent figure in certain communities and can give some insight to their view of the world if you'll only listen. Doesn't mean he's right or wrong, but simply able to see things that you or I might not. That, and he has a big mouth. That's good TV in anybody's book. And again, that's why they hired him.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent 0 #22 June 4, 2004 Listening to his ridiculous drivel for a few years was enough. I know he doesn't represent ALL the lefties, and I HOPE he doesn't represent that many of them. I doubt he has much insight into anything outside of his narrow view of the world and the people that hang around him. Yeah, he does have a big mouth... and subscribes to the school of debate that says "He who shouts the most wins". He and Jerry Springer would be great running mates someday.Oh, hello again!
