Does AOL Hate President Bush Or What?
Sweetness & Light ^ | May 11, 2006 | N/A

Posted on 05/11/2006 12:58:24 PM PDT by Sam Hill

If I didn't know better, I'd almost think Time Warner's America Online does not like our twice-elected President, and that they want him to fail and the US to lose the war in Iraq.

But undoubtedly I'm imagining things.

And just to show it isn't personal, AOL also gives us front pages like this:

Maybe they think it's good for business:

Chart

Then again, maybe they'd rather push their agenda than make money.

A "more agit-prop from our one party media" ping.

There are about 50 "bush is no better than Clinton" types on FR. The rest of us know he is a good President and war leader, despite disagreeing with some of his policies.

I think that is why AOL is losing money. They care more about ideology than profits. Is Ted, the mouth of the south, Turner back?

AOL like most Drive by Media is biased. And like the NYTimes and others, they are losing subscribers. They have not connected the dots, and perhaps they won't before they go belly up. Who cares. I find my news on Free Republic and other sources online. I just use AOL as my ISP, and if I did not have so many friends in chat rooms, I would use a different ISP.

AOL isn't independent - they are part of Time Warner - I.e. CNN, Time etc...

Probably because his approval ratings are so much higher than AOHell's.

I certainly hope so but I feel like I'm battling the Aryan Nation everytime I respond to a thread on immigration.

I've noticed they ALWAYS post the geekiest photo of Bush they can find. They are odious.

Well, that's you and me, who are the other two?

;-)

AOHell has had it in for conservatives for years.
