Liberal Media Bias = TOTAL BULLSHIT

[funjumper101 15]

The RWC morons who whinge and whine about "Liberal Media" and "Liberal Media Bias" can now shut the fuck up, FOREVER.

The proof that the corporate media in the USA is severely slanted towards the right wing is here in all its glory.

Anthony Weiner appears to have been forced to resign due to the relentless coverage of his stupid behavior, lies, and using Twitter to flirt recklessly and inappropriately with consenting adults. No laws were broken, unlike David Vitter's actions.
David Vitter patronized prostitutes and performed consensual perverted acts with them, in multiple jurisdictions. There has been no call for Vitter to resign. None. The acts that Vitter performed were ILLEGAL, and happened in multiple jurisdictions. Yet he was NOT forced to resign from the House. He was allowed to keep his seat, and ended up being elected to the Senate by his constituents. Weiner's constituents aren't going to have a choice, apparently.

I do not expect to EVER hear any more lies or other bullshit about "Liberal Media Bias" ever again.

Can any RWC explain how David Vitter gets a pass for his ILLEGAL activities that occurred in multiple jurisdictions, while Anthony Weiner's stupid, but not illegal acts, mean that he must resign?

Anyone?

What is your explanation of why Weiner has to go, but not Vitter?

A lack of moral and ethical consistency is a logical and reasonable conclusion. What other explanation can there be?

You can't tell the difference between right and wrong. That is a core principle for an RWC.

Did Vitter lie, repeatedly, on national tv? If he'd have just said something to the effect of 'yeah, i fucked up, sorry about, blah blah blah....' None of this would be an issue. He instead chose to lie and therefore broke the "sacred" public trust at a time when it's politically inconvenient. Understand?

Good luck w'dat!

If I was a betting man I would bet that his ol' lady had more to do with him quitting than the media did ...lib or otherwise. I, for one, hoped he would stay.

BTW - your thread title is misleading. I thought you finally "got" it.

If lying were illegal, all politicians would have to resign.

Vitter DOES seem to have committed criminal acts, however.

Nice double standard you, rushmc and mnealtx have going there.

+1. It's not so much what he did, but how badly and stupidly he tried to deny it.

Vitter should go

But I dont think der weiner should go because of his pictures or email

He should go because he tried to create the lie (and blame someone else) that he was hacked

He would have allowed someone to take the fall for him if he could

THAT my friend is why Weiner had to go

if we falter and lose our freedoms,

[kallend 2,150]

Well, the GOP removed "Family Values" from its platform in 2009. I guess they realized that trumpeting something their own leaders repeatedly violated was bad for their image.

Vitter, of course was elected while "Family Values" was in the GOP platform. Which makes his hypocrisy just as much a lie as anything Weiner did.

I don't know about Vitter, but if a 'lawmaker' knowingly broke laws - then he should go - period

Weiner tried to hide his mistake and even appears to have been willing to hang some innocent other criminally. That means he's a very high risk to being blackmailed and his priorities are on his reputation, not the country. he should go.

Is hacking illegal in this context (the false charge). If the hacking is illegal, then framing someone for that is also illegal and he'd be a crime breaker. he should go

Edit:

lawmakers should respect the law, even those they don't agree with.

congress people don't have to be perfect, but they have to value being incorruptable over themselves for the good of national security - especially if it's just pissy stuff like legal, but goofy behavior

The only consistent bias in the media is towards an inability to accurately deliver information because journalists are experts at absolutely nothing and because that would get in the way of fickle pandering to attract as big an audience as they can.

Some politicians have more shame than others and some politicians have better public relations skills than others. Who resigns over what is decided by what politicians can get away with amongst their constituency, not any "left/right bias" in the media.

See, you cant argue my point so you change direction
I wish he would stay my self

He would make a great one eyed pecker headed face of the Democratic party IMO

I am glad he is gone because he has no honor. He would let another sink for his bull shit

yeah, but the ones with the shame tend to hide it.

give me the shameless ones with nothing to hide - "yeah, I did it, but I admit it and it can't be used to leverage me because you all know it already."



"laying it all out there for the public to see" means exposing your real self and character so you don't have to hide anything. that's character to the public, not your junk to 20 somethings

Agreed completely.

[Glitch 0]

What double standard? ...Where did I state or imply that lying was illegal? ...Where did I state or imply that I supported EITHER person? I was simply stating my opinion as to why one had to/should resign and the other didn't. Nothing more, nothing less.

Don't put words in my mouth. Don't assume that you "know" that I was meaning or implying as anything more that what I actually posted. I'm pretty sure that as a professor, your smart enough to understand basic reading comprehension.

As far as lumping me with rushmc and mnealtx... I'll take that as a compliment.
Have a nice day.

Please. This outcome has nothing to do with media biases (which is an odd blend of right wing ownership and left tending reporters)

Weiner gave up. No one made him leave. And he certainly brought it all down on himself.

The name, of course, didn't help, nor having that name and be representing the same area as NYC tabloids.

But then he says stupid shit like:
1) I didn't do it
2) well I didn't send it, but it might be my penis
3) hackers are trying to blackmail me
He acted like every other person who got caught and tries to admit only as much as he has to. And then it comes out that he's chatting up a minor. After all the dancing he did, that was a final straw and the Democrats were done supporting him. And that's why he eventually resigned.

I seem to recall that when this all broke, the media was jumping in on the anti-Breitbart campaign. Weiner lied to them and got them on the attack of Breitbart. There was doubt cats, what were Breitbart's reasons, etc.

Then Weiner through that bizarre press conference where he declareed he wouldn't answer any questions. The press, of course, found it odd that the guy would hold a Q and A with no q's or A's. And things started not adding up.

When he admitted it and Bretbart hijacked it is when the media turned on Weiner. If there's something journalists don't like it's seeing other journalists get hammered for reporting facts. It sets a bad example and if it was a GOP guy attacking a journalist, they'd rally behind that guy, too. Because Weiner used the press as patsies.

That still didn't do it. It turned out Weiner's wife is somewhat of a star in the Party. Piss off the Clintons you piss off the Party. Things don't look good.

Add to that the transcripts of what he wrote. These indicated not just a narcissist but someone who objectified women. When a guys tells a woman he wants to choke her with his cock, it becomes difficult for anyone who views women as equals to defend it.

Weiner lost support of his Party Leaders. He lost the support of those who stood behind Bill Clinton (the guy followed the Clinton model: deny it, attack the reporter that broke it, get supporters to stand behind him, etc.) The problem is Weiner was not the political genius of Clinton. In fact, he pissed off the Clintons.

He lost the Clintons. The press. His own party. He wouldn't win a re-elections because he wasn't going to get anything for his district.

And you blame the media? The media's not left wing?

This cat sold out everything that the left stands for.

My wife is hotter than your wife.
