Media Bias: Practices of Toronto Star & Linda McQuaig Are Natural Progressions of Liberal Dishonesty
Myth Debunker ^ | 01/04/09 | Yomin Postelnik

The leftist bias and activist drumbeating of today’s major media is as self-evident as it is plentiful. A look at how major media acts in North America’s most liberal cities gives us an indication of the true dangers that media bias poses here.

The examples below should serve as a vital wake up call to conservatives to relentlessly point out the biases of the media at every turn so as to prevent our voices from being wiped out of the public debate. Certainly, the lengths that the dominant media of left leaning cities goes to in trumpeting their point of view (while fervidly quashing out all others) gives us a prelude to the dangers of unopposed media bias anywhere.

We need to wake up and fight back. Everyone knows the outrageous headlines that CNN put out this week (if not I'll post some). The security of the entire western world is at stake, as is the spread of sensible conservatism, the opposite of media dogma.

Like their Islamofacist pals, the liberals are starting to smell blood in the water around America.

Some are fond of saying we conservatives should 'man up' & suffer this disparity with a stiff upper lip.

But the author is right - that will result in our ideology being wiped out.

I went home to Vancouver BC, Canada for Christmas and New Year, and the amount of anti-US/lefty bias on Canadian news doesn’t surprise me anymore. There’s a reason why u can’t get Foxnews on local cable channels and get the CNN/HLN “news” as alternative.

It’s crazy. Fortunately there are some great conservative Canadian sites but we must make sure the MSM here doesn’t regress even farther to the left and censor even more of our points of view. Canada’s MSM has become a total monopoly of opinion in an almost 1984ish way.

We must take notice and do something to stop it here.

This piece takes on the Star directly. I think we’d all be interested in your thoughts on this.

Promotion of radically leftist myths at the expense of logic is the central mission of the Toronto Star.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Call it what it is: Promotion of MARXISM!

Full blown communism, nothing less, will ever satisfy the mainstream media.

I know someone that works at CNN. They said most employees call it the obama news network. This CNN employee told me that editors sent investigators to dig up dirt on Sarah Palin but were furious when they brought back essentially nothing.

Meanwhile, negative stories about obambi were shelved.

The bias is REAL and continuing. I’ve told my friend they could make a fortune exposing the bias but I believe my friend signed a non-disclosure agreement prior to being hired.

But my friend (don’t want to even give away male or female) said the bias is disgusting and infuriating. Only continuing to work there for the good benefits. Also, not the time to be quitting your job.
