Media bias or media stupidity?
Canada Free Press ^ | 06/15/15 | Arthur Weinreb

Only in a media biased in favour of progressive causes would make such idiotic statements

In recent years a lot of attention has been placed on media bias. Those on the right of the political spectrum are always pointing out the left wing bias of the mainstream media such as the New York Times, CNN and no one’s favourite, MSNBC.

Those on the left deny such bias because they are incapable of seeing it. To them, left wing views are not biased but merely the truth. Divergent views are wrong and those who accuse the media of a progressive bias are morons who simply do not understand what the truth is.

If last week is any indication, there is a more serious problem with the media than just the run-of-the-mill bias; it is the absolute stupidity of some of those who appear on major networks.

Neither. They are zealot ideologues whose only concern is to further the movement. This is why arguing with them is a mistake, all of their arguments are lies to foster the movement. If you use reason and logic to demonstrate a liberal argument to be false you have wasted your breath as they already know it's false and don't care, they will only adopt another lie and another lie. Their ideology needs to be attacked, not the lies they use to spread it.

Well, I callem “LIEberals” because they live in a LIE and LIE about it at every turn.

I agree with you that trying to “dialogue” (that is what LIEberals do) is a waste of time.

Their ideology is a LIE as well, and they know that too.

The conflict between the good guys (that would be us) and the bad guys (LIEberals) is about control, power and money.

Both sides want the control, power and money that being on the winning side allows. HST, the good guys seem to have been losing ground to the LIEberals since the early 1930s, maybe even since the early 1900s?

I fear that the good guys are doomed to failure until/unless they start using the LIEberals war-fighting techniques (except for the lying part).

We are in a war, and we need to quit compromising and start winning!
