QUESTION: HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD THE MSM CALL A DEM A LEFT-WINGER?? (Vanity)

The other day when I was watching various DUmbocrat senators whining about the right wing taking down the Harriet Miers confirmation, something HIT ME!

I can't EVER recall hearing anyone in the media referring to DUmmies like Kennedy, Durbin, Leahy, Reid, or any other DUmbocrat as a left winger! On the other hand, I ALWAYS hear right wing this and right wing that!

I was just wondering if ANYONE here has ever heard the media call any Dem left wing? Maybe my ears have a left wing filter on them after years of being damaged by their CONSTANT BS!

[RogerWilko]

I KNOW that the omissions are DEFINITELY intentional! But I can't EVER recall hearing the media say it! Has ANYBODY??

If so... Tell me WHO, WHEN, & WHY?

[RogerWilko]

Holy CRAP!! Just as I hit the POST button, I heard Rush talking about the Media defining what "right wing" was supposed to mean! I must have had ESP or something!!

[lysie]

I heard.

[lysie]

Great minds? ;-)

[GeorgiaDawg32]

the MSM won't directly call someone "left-wing" or "liberal"..their term for them is "mainstream"..

[w_over_w]

If you consider Bill O'Reilly part of the MSM . . . he says it all the time.

[Riley]

Nope. In their spectrum, there are 'Progressives' and 'Moderates' at one end of the scale and the 'Far Right' or 'Ultra Right' at the other.

And they have the gall to stand up and assert that there is no Liberal bias in the MSM- after virtually having admitted that there is.

[Larry Lucido]

I've heard them refer to Stalin as a left-winger (when he wasn't being called a moderate).

[conservativebabe]

Not that I can recall. The media's title for conservatives seems to be "the extreme right wing" of late.

Evidently, anyone who isn't in agreement with them is extreme.

They will never use "extreme" to discribe the moonbat lefties that have become the mainstream voice of their party.

They are too sad to do that. Show some compassion.

2005 - Liberal Mount Rushmore Implodes and Crumbles

Broadcast journalist Ted Koppel, the face of late-night newscast "Nightline" for a quarter century, will anchor the show for the last time on November 22, but ABC News has not decided who will replace him, the network said on Thursday.

Koppel, 65, becomes the latest in a string of veteran network news anchors to sign off in recent months, following Tom Brokaw of NBC, Dan Rather of CBS and Koppel's ABC News colleague, the late Peter Jennings.

They have litmus tests to assure that people wont get hired and say such things.

[LibWhacker]

Heck, some of them wouldn't even call Pol Pot a left-winger. I think for them there is no such thing.

[conservativebabe]

discribe=describe.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I've never heard it.

[Hang'emAll]

Last Sunday I believe I heard Cokie Roberts say "right wing crazies" and then in the same breath say "left wing activists".

The bias is just so obvious.

Just a small clarification.

[Stashiu]

When you are already that far to the left, everyone else is a right winger.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Exactly!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Or "moderate".

Seems like I just read an editorial of some New Hampshire paper where the term was used... but in general, I don't see that term used much.

Sometimes you can be a victim of your success. The conservatives have been very well organised, hence a hard target. The Democrats have been very disorganised - a mush. They also point to 24/7 coverage of all news outlets on the Monica scandal for a year and a half, as evidence of ANTI-Dem bias in media! (Of course, that was cover for the real crimes that weren't talked about, and for some inconceivable reason Ken Starr ignored...)
