Here you can see a lovely example of how Fox news tries to make the democrats look worse at every turn.

Pretty lame if you ask me.

o please! if you ever watch special report, then you would know they always make fun of people on there (dems and republicans...) duh, and dems dont need any help making themselves look worse (sometimes)...jk.... but seriously you are taking this waaayyy to seriously. oh, and tell george soros and all the guys at moveon.org i said hi!:rolling:

In my experience, for the most part, I have found most news outlets to be 90% objective. While it is true that many have a way of slanting one way or ther other (and that slant typically tends to be to the left). In general, though, the media tends to come as close to the middle and as close to objectivity as human nature allows.

Doug

okay, i have somewhat against what you say.. i have found the mainstream media to be 65/35 in favor of a bias to liberals (in news... not specials or people... just straight news). fox is more around 55/45 biased toward conservatives (in news... not specials or people... just straight news)...

but it is not like air america or anything, but there is usually a clear bias, even if it is not ultra-strong. but either way, people need to widen their ideas to all forms of news, not just one source.

thats why i like fox the best. yes, they have alot of conservative people, but they always (barring some cataclysmic event) show both sides. that way you get both sides... not just liberal (like in most cases on mainstream media...)

but seriously, i dont even know why this is a post in the first place... it looks like another "i hate conservatives" or "fox points everything toward a conservative agenda" thread..... so... c'mon... you cannot seriously hate us that much...

Now there's a generalization if I ever heard one. Most of the consevatives are quite inteligent...capable of complex math and everything.

I never said I am blaming you on how it develops, simply put, the warning goes for all. Political is fine for now, but flaming others is not.

This IS the point. I don't see JMJ attacking anyone personnally, Reese. As a matter of fact, in another thread, he specifically states that he despite disagreeing from views, he separates that from the person -- JMJ. Pretty upstanding I think.

The personal attacks are my only problem in these threads.

Well, I will take that to mean that you think your comments to me WERE respectful. We were obviously raised by our parents very differently.

As much indication and evidence as there is out there that this administration, and it's henchmen, are engaged in rampant corruption and incompetence, and 30% still support them tells me that a substantial percentage of "conservatives" can't add two and two.
