What, the media is biased?
To: Michael2001
Have you ever noticed that in media outlets you will often hear the phrases, right wing extremists, right wing radicals, right wing hate groups and never left wing extremists, left wing radicals or left wing hate groups?

Enough already. We don't need any more reminders of media bias. It is there. We know it.. Next subject.
Well! OK. How about Judicial Watch? Same thing. Ring the cash register. PETA? Ditto. Sierra Club? You guessed it. They all have one mission. Inflame people until they donate.
Who wins in the total scheme of things? The founders and staff of these various enterprises. Sometimes the donors who benefit from publicity.
Care to disgree?

Wrong. Freepers know. Many Americans do not.

Are you sure that left wing radicals exist? Because Dan Rather hasn't mentioned it.

To: Michael2001

Care to disgree?..................Yes, if you don't mind. What the hell is disgree?
To: Michael2001
"The irony in this particular example is that (Bill) Moyers,"Moyers ran the "Daisy Commercial of '64.
" an estimable and honorable man,
Moyers is one of the worst kind of human beings
"is far more consistently liberal in his views"..
Moyers is not liberal, Moyers is an aristocrat socialist.
Much of the agony of this country since 1965 can be laid right on the front porch of Bill Moyers. He shares with Johnson and McNamara the legacy of the worst foreign policy, Vietnam and the worst domestic policy, AFDC.

"Care to disgree?"Not Hardly. The rise of the 501 (3)(c) organizations has given more whacko's the paying job to make life in the US h*ll. When my daughter expressed her favoritism for the abortion issue, I drove her by a nearby Planned Parenthood Clinic. I asked her to note the quality of automobile in the parking spaces for the "Director" and "Doctor" parking at the clinic. She was sold. "You don't drive those kind of cars giving abortions to poor, Dad".
No you don't, I replied.

Well done. Not many would have had the insight to do that.

Enough already. We don't need any more reminders of media bias. It is there. We know it.. Next subject. WE know it. THEY don't. Is there a reason why the Media Resource Center should quit while they are performing a service?
Quit with the snide remarks about allegedly greedy foundations unless you can bring something other than your suspicions.
To: redsoxallthewayintwothousand2
Thank you very much for recommending the coulter book I will do my best to buy it as soon as possible and am sure to enjoy it though most of it may be infuriating or so I have heard have a nice day.

'Quit' with the snide remarks about allegedly greedy foundations unless you can bring something other than your suspicions.
I just love these commands, so may I ask you just what you possess that should make me give a (add your own word here----)?
To: Commander8
Have you ever noticed that in media outlets you will often hear the phrases, right wing extremists, right wing radicals, right wing hate groups and never left wing extremists, left wing radicals or left wing hate groups? Because to a liberal you cannot be too left-wing to be extreme.
To: elbucko
I asked her to note the quality of automobile in the parking spaces for the "Director" and "Doctor" parking at the clinic.I don't get it. Are you saying it's not performing abortion that's wrong, it's being paid to do it?
To: Michael2001
Something that has always bugged me is the fact that when a 48 year old man kills someone, the media will quickly add " the ex-marine " as if we are predisposed to murder. I have never read " the ex-sailor ", or ex-paper boy.

Nice try Eric Burns, but no cigar. Literally
He does a superb job of pointing out and proving the liberal bias of the mainstream media elite. However, he also proves, but fails to note, FNC's own major liberal bias when it comes to the issue of tobacco.
CNNMSNBCABCCBANBC are benign compared to FNC with it's anti-smoker bias. Regardless of the health issue, the FNC resident doctor, Isadore Rosenfeld will always find a way to blame it on tobacco smoking.
FNC is my news channel of choice, as a whole they are pretty much fair and balanced. As a smoker, FNC is no better and probably worse than the others.
