My personal notice of media bias
WSAZ TV 3, CHARLESTON, WV

Posted on 12/30/2004 5:03:10 AM PST by Armedanddangerous

May I vent for just a second? This morning, about 6 AM I was getting ready for work, pulling on my shoes and thinking about going for doughnuts, as I have been good all through the Christmas season diet wise, when I made the mistake of turning on the tv.

"She then spouted this gem. "The United States pledged 35 million in aid, a figure that is what the nation spends in SIX HOURS in Iraq." "

At least she didn't take up the Libs' mantra that the inaugauration will cost more than $35 million.

A similar comment was made on Jawz a couple of nights ago. Also, some woman was frothing at the mouth about when the ice melts and...........

that's when I thought to myself, "Wait a minute. This was near Sumatra. In the ocean."

So I turned it off.

I did, however, like the comeback about giving an accountant who has lost $$ previously, i.e., the U.N., even more $$ to lose. Where's their personal, tax-free contribution I wonder? Or did that go for some year-end sales on $4000 suits and new Briggs and Riley luggage?

It looks like bias as usual.

right.

one must wonder, how did john f kerry get into the u.s. senate?

had the old media reported the truth, his navy service would have disqualified him from being an elected official of our country.

a former navy official indicated that kerry was dishonorably discharged for his contact with the enemy in paris.

president carter later upgraded kerry's discharge to honorable.

Her first work in journalism included internships at MacNeil-Lehrer NewsHour, CNN, and National Public Radio.

There's the problem. Turn her off.

Where is the moral conviction of these countries that hate the US? How could any country that denounces our policies even be willing to ACCEPT aid from us? After all, we are an evil, imperialist nation, bent on world domination. Our money should be viewed (by them) as corrupt blood/oil money. Funny how that gets ignored when it is time to line up at the US teat......

I support aid to those who fell victim to this terrible disaster, but the hypocrisy of the world community is utterly astounding.

Just like ABC snooze, it is hate America first, then the Military.
I heard ABC all day long reporting that American P3 "Spy Planes" were assisting in the search for survivors. (The P-3 is a Long Range Patrol Aircraft, only the Chinese and ABC snooze consider it a Spy Plane)

The Lamestream isn't biased, they are overt propaganda TOOLS.

Nothing like a little Bush bashing to start off the day on the left foot.

I know..I know... but I was planning on doing something outside today after work, and wanted an idea of what the weather was going to be.

www.weather.com - no need to see the liberal spin on your TV set. ;-)

Carter is about as close as we have come to the Manchurian Candidate. Maybe tied with Clinton.

They have TV in West Virgina now? Welcome to the 21st century!

Do you know how we know the Tooth Brush was invented in WV? If it was invented anywhere else it would have been called a Teeth Brush! Sorry, I just like making fun of WV

I'm sorry...it just pissed me off folks..

The old media will do this to you every time.

I suggest finding a local talk radio station and get your weather from them.

One of these days I'll come up with a clever retort to that. Until that time I reply with...

OH YEAH????

As far as I can tell from online research, Brooke Hart (Salkoff) graduated from Stanford in 1991. Timing wise, this would suggest she interned at the Justice Department during the Clinton Administration. Thus she's just another Democrat apparachnik hired as newsreader. Her working at PBS, CNN and NPR says it all.

Actually, her facts are wrong, the $35 million is just the initial aid package. But beyond that, $35 million goes a long, long way in that part of the world. Anyone ever ride the bhat bus?

As for Iraq, true, we're spending a lot of money there, not to restore infrastructure "ravaged by war" (it wasn't), but ravaged by a DECADE of ineffectual UN sanctions...

The idiots on the local morning NBC station here in Santa Clara county are the worst readers I have ever seen on tv.

Yeah, it really has been "amateur hour" since NBC followed through on its threat to drop KRON for KNTV. Aside from coverage problems, catapulting a minor market station to sudden major market status made instant stars out of such total losers. NBC market share has subsequently dropped like a rock.
