'The Liberal media" in the context of US media is a fucking joke.

All US media is so right wing that the most liberal by all standards would at BEST be considered center.

They WOULD be right of communism....just a little

You'll have to do better than that - it only examines a US perspective, not a world perspective, of the US media.

YOUR problem is YOU care about what the world thinks. If that was really important we would not be the country we are. The WORLD is jelous of what we have accomplished so the view is tainted.

But you just go ahead and keep worrying about what others think. That ranks right up there with being pissed some one else makes more money than you. Or they don't pay enough taxes

It is a bitch aint it

Oh, common, tell us how you really feel about US..

He was not talking about the US, but the US media. And most people outside the US that I've talked to about this agree, me included. Even what is considered Left Wing Media inside the US would be considered right of center everywhere else.

Everywhere else? I love these kinds of all or nothing statements. They say so much about the speaker.

Another things that isnt helping the US consumer of news is the extremely US centric view of the news presented on all the mainstream US media outlets.

Perhaps that has to to with the fact that the US, as an economy, is much more autonomous than most of the industrialized nations,... and we're are the largest economy in thw world. It's pretty easy to be blissfully ignorant of what happens on other continents. The relative impact of what happens in Germany is pretty irrelevant to the average American. Europeans keep up with what happens in their part of the world because it matters. Do the typical Europeans really know that much more about what is happening in China or southern Africa or Peru than the typical American? Is the average Dane really that much more informed about what is going on in Australia?

Oh yeah, foreigners keep up with developments in the US because we are the top dog and because our recent endeavors (like Iraq) do have a global impact.

silence someone because their point of view is not the same as your group's through intimadation is what is wrong.

Probably still better than those "free speech zones" that the Dems set up... over a mile away from the convention, IIRC...

Is this one of those "pay no attention to my behavior, look at what the other side is doing" scenarios?

I think NCclimber has it right when he says that because of the economic autonomy of the US and the global impact of the US's actions the rest of us are somewhat forced to take note.

That said, I'm struggling to understand why so many american's are of the opinion that the rest of us are jealous of them. It simply isn't the case and to state otherwise only serves your own ego. Disagreement and jealousy are quite different things.

I am not sure so many americans do think that but, the left constantly throws out an argument suggesting they know what the "rest of the world" thinks. It is for that very reason I say I do not care. Everyone and every country needs to take care of thier own. The us doles out tons of money to other countries for various reasons so I do not buy the left's argument(s)

Fair enough I suppose. It's just frustrating to hear it used as an argument sometimes.

Don't you understand the "professor" is ok with moveon.org's move to stop Foxnews 1 amendment right? Then you hear them all riled up about Bush's Nazi government...oh the irony.

What does asking businesses to refrain from advertising on a network that promotes political views that you disagree with have to do with the first amendment? The first amendment is to prevent the government from interfering with your free speech, not to prevent private individuals from calling companies, voicing their opinions, and refraining from spending their money.

I've called Target and Wal-Mart to voice my disappointment with some of their policies. I don't shop there anymore because of those policies. Am I somehow interfering with their ability to have whatever policy they wish? No. Their policies are their choice. I just let them know that as a customer, I'm not happy with what they're doing, and therefore, will not shop there anymore. My money, my choice.

Just wait til you have children. I'm guessing you'll forget about your differences w/ Target.

Many people will talk for hours about their political opinions, but when they are presented with a cheaper/easier option that goes against those opinions, they will almost always abandon their principles and choose the easier course. I've known Kris for a while, and she is not one of those people.

thanks.

I doubt kids will change my opinions about Target and Walmart, because aren't parents supposed to be teaching their kids morals? How are you setting a good example for your child if you're willing to sacrifice your principles to save a little time or money?

Two in diapers can be pretty compelling.

Didn't mean to stir the pot on this one. I have no idea what you beef is with Target. My wife loves Target. So do many of her friends with small children.

[rehmwa 2]

Target donates a portion of profits to local charities.

Instead of passing the savings to their customers.

In effect choosing how their customers donate FOR them. Like their customers are too stupid to pick their own charities.

Not all of us have that attitude. Only a very vocal minority, our "bring 'em on President" and those on this forum who are bucking for the job as al Qaeda poster child of the year.
