peacefuljeffrey 0 #26 October 13, 2004 QuoteQuoteIt's been shown CBS the place to SeeBS, and now ABC is making itself look like A Bunch of Crap, showing bias all over the place. Why does it seem that those on the right love to come up with names like this? Reminds me of what the kids on the playground used to do to cause a fight. Name calling. Do you or anyone else feel that name calling instead of fact finding and proof helps swing people to your side? Are you kidding me? I don't see bumper stickers with bad puns on names that are done by leftists? "Time to trim the Bush's" (sic) and stuff about "Shrub"... More liberal blinders on your eyes, I guess, keeping you from ever seeing that democrats also do what you accuse republicans of doing. edit: Oh, I forgot: "Lick Bush in '04" Reeeeal mature, lefties. But OH! It's the RIGHT that does the name calling and juvenile stuff, riiiiight? -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

skydyvr 0 #27 October 13, 2004 Quote>Being to the right of major news outlets does not necessarily equate to > being right of center. Keep it in mind. Also keep in mind that the center is not defined by the average of all the people in power, but rather the average views of society as a whole - even when that society includes people you disagree with. Take a look at the polls, and you'll see that society as a whole is very evenly divided between the candidate on the right and the candidate on the left. I'd say that puts society right about in the middle, with outlets like CBS and ABC way to the left of that. In fact they're so far left, they're biasing themselves right out of the news business. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peacefuljeffrey 0 #30 October 13, 2004 I quite honestly do not understand what is taken to be attacking about that. I didn't single out a poster or posters. I didn't throw out a name-calling. Saying that someone is wearing figurative blinders? Is that much different from coming out and saying, "I think you're blinding yourself to what's going on?" Saying that I don't think something is mature -- that's a problem? Whew! Talking about stuff here is getting to be a minefield! Because I sure as shit am not trying to insult anyone with what I said. edit: So what I mean is, sorry if it came across as offensive. It wasn't meant that way when I said it, and I didn't recognize it that way. -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
