Do children read the Wash Times or NewsMax?

I personally don't know anyone (who is a serious internet user) who has an AOL account. That's not bias --- that's a fact.

[ChemistCat]

Admin Moderator--please see my last paragraph here.

I terminated my AOL account because of their liberal bias. My friend who still works for them says that the company's leaders have given up on saving the company. They have committed Barbra Streisand's error of alienating half their customer base--and they don't have her safety net of established fiscal security.

They recently lost a million customers. Any huge company could well afford to lose a million customers IF they picked the right million to ditch--the ones who cost them more than they pay. Instead, they lost customers who had simple problems that couldn't be solved by overseas customer care representatives, customers who couldn't find a safe "place" to call home anywhere in their filth-ridden chat areas, and...customers who found that they could no longer endure having their conservative, patriotic, or Christian values scorned.

I hope this thread is moved to activism, rather than to chat. It is HIGH time that FReepers who have AOL thought about protesting AOL's actions with respect to our country, our economy, and our politics. AOL dying would not be a good thing for the USA, as a lot of jobs hinge on it and it IS a good way for technophobes to tiptoe into the 21st century. I think some serious activism is called for. I think AOL would respond to a serious, non-hostile but determined FReep. I would go back to AOL if its political bias was rebalanced. I would do so because that company has been good to my friend who works there.

[Az Joe]

Yeah, AOL sucks and I won't be using them anymore in about 20 days.

[grannie9]

I was so afraid of leaving AOL...but I did a couple of years ago. I hated it's liberal bias. I refused to read their news.

I am sooo happy that I finally got the choice of cable. Trying to talk my daughter into Net-Zero or anything except AOL, right now.

They also gave me the three free months when I quit, and I told them I didn't want it, but they left it still live. Don't ever touch it again for mail or anything.. They will try to charge you for it, saying they assume you signed on again. Before you know it, you have a full monthly bill..and then you have to 'deal' again..

Take a hint, others, quit and wipe them right off your computer..

[KeepUSfree]

Not to be offensive - but - AOL is for losers....

[ThinkFreedom]

What do you expect from CNN's sister company? And it's not just AOL that's circling down the drain, it's the whole company. AOL is losing users, CNN is losing viewers, Warner Music is... well, say no more..., they're selling their cable network, their movie studio is owndering why no-one wants to see their latest Alec Baldwin blockbuster, and even Ted Turner, Jerry Levine and Steve Case have left and are brawling through the tabloids about who's to blame. The whole mess is about to implode, and only Rupert Murdoch can save them now (but I doubt that will happen, he's sitting at Fox News watching his ratings clime while the liberal media implodes!)

[weegee]

AOL-Time-Life-Warner-CNN is biased? Say it isn't so!

At least there is ABC-Disney and SeeBS-Viacom-MTV-NICK-VH1-SPIKE-CMT-Simon&Schuster.

Some libs would be shocked to hear that you find any sort of "balance" from a biaed news source like FOX. < /sarcasm >

[HitmanLV]

I dumped them a while ago - reason: liberal bias in their content, and the fact that they overcharged for internet service. They simply stink!

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

AOHell.

[Fiddlstix]

AOL Sux!
Bump

[rdb3]

And folks wonder why I call AOL "AO-Hell".

[lilylangtree]

AOL is terribly biased. The office subscribed to AOL for almost 5 years. Personally, I didn't enjoy AOL at all. Doesn't Ted Turner own AOL-Time Warner? If so then he's a very strong dumbocRAT. AOL then reflects his political convictions. For instance when Israel would defend itself against the barrage of suicide bombers in 2001-2002, AOL wouldn't display pics to gain sympathy for Israeli victims plight. However, with the palis, subscribers would be subjected to pics of memorials to dead terrorists, women crying, one in particular was a 4 year old little boy holding a machine gun ready to fire at its taught enemies--Israelis. And the phrasing of topics would be definitely anti-Bush. Finally, DSL came into the area, and we changed in January 2003. I'm so glad too.

[xm177e2]

What is their "Bush credibility meter" based on? I would bet my left [finger] it's not based on actual polling data.

[demsux]

I got rid of aol years ago, and I am very happy that I did.

Their political "leanings" are left of left.

[Darksheare]

AOL is owned by Time Warner, who is owned by Ted Turner.
Ted Turner is not concerned with facts, and indeed never has been.

[Hank Rearden]

AOL is welded-on training wheels.

When I see @aol.com in an email address, I automatically think "newbie" or "loser". It conveys "I'm just playing around here - I really don't know much about this Internet thingie. My grandkids help me press the buttons."

Get real. Get a real ISP.

[Sir Gawain]

Why anyone would use AOL is beyond me. I never figured out what purpose it serves except to get in the way of internet service.

[John Will]

Let's see reasons for not using AOLhell.
Unbeliveably slow
Chat rooms where the IQ averages in the 80s.
Unreliable as Clinton.
The liberal bias just adds to it.

[SunStar]

Gee, liberal bias at AOL? After all, they own the Crescent News Network...
