I think the difference is that I will admit that the liberal part of the media is NOT "Fair and Balanced", but you will say that the conservative part of the media IS "Fair and Balanced".

I'm I correct in that statement?

No. The "Conservative media" like Rush, Hannity, Carr, ect. is very biased. We are talking about Fox, a "mixed media" outlet with an even amount of Republican and Democrat voices. I wish they were more biased to the right, to counter all the left wing hatched jobs out there in the media.

If you're going to make a statement like that you have to PROVE IT. Don't tell us how fair it is, prove to us, statistically, as you did with your original post, that FNC is 50-50! You can't but it will be interesting to see you try....

You also need to use creditable sources, not right wing biased sites, show us through an unbiased eye that FNC is exactly equal as you wrote, for 50-50 means 100% EQUAL.

Please prove it or stop saying it....please.

My award-nominated study on liberal media bias included this study posted here.

It uses the same methods of calculations as do liberal activist groups in grading candidates. It is very compelling, I think.




Other things I put in my study:

It also included a peer reviewed, scholarly study proving that the media called states early for Gore when he was one or two points ahead, while delaying 20-point lead states in favor of Bush for hours.

There were several other studies like that in my project.

Also, there were examples like the early (and incorrect) election call for Gore despite the AP's own VNS numbers showing Bush ahead.

There was a picture of Katie Couric crying on national TV because Gore lost.

There is also the overwhelming amount of liberal activists who get put into jobs disseminating "objective" news.

Didi Meyers (former Clinton spokesman) was hired (once she got out of jail for DUI) by Roger Ailes (you know, the evil conservative trying to bias the news).

Chris Matthews, George Stephanopolous, Bill Moyers, Bill Schneieder, Tim Russert (just to name a very few) all worked for Democrats in office before getting on the news, and there are many, many more.

I did a section on how conservatives get labeled as such when appearing on news shows, while liberals are called, "contributors."

I did a section (based on John Stossel) about the media's tendency to and history of reporting outrageous, literally impossible numbers based on nothing but the rantings of feminists and those who wouldn't/won't admit that homelessness comes from addictions and mental instability, not evil Republicans who don't want to fund housing for crack whores.

89% of journalists in one of the studies I used said that they voted for Bill Clinton (compared to 40-something of voters).

The New York Times hasn't endorsed a single Republican presidential candidate since the 1950s.




There are just volumes and volumes of evidence. At this point, liberals would have to explain so many things away, that I don't think I will ever buy that the media isn't atrociously biased to the left.

Why are they biased to the left? They don't have to live with the consequences of their flighty, impractical, childish ideas, just like nearly everyone else who is liberal-students, young people, "academics" (for lack of a better word), welfare recipients, criminals, etc. They are too naive and idealistic to know better.

Ever notice how most people become conservatives the moment they have somebody to think about besides themselves? (parents) Its very telling.

Nice post Aquapub.
Champ said again:
I said even and you want me to prove 100 % equal? First, this thread is about left wing bias, not Fox. The left is the ones screaming about "Fair and Balanced", so you prove they are not. I don't care -- you do.

The only bias I see in your post is YOU. (inflammatory words deleted)

It's impossible to take anyone seriously when they write such **. It seems every post that you write contains reams of ** It's fascinating to see the continuing evolution of a **. Of course, someone who is ** is never able to recognize it, which is quite ironic since their ** is based on their observations of the world. They can "see" the evil welfare recipients but they lack the vision to see their own prejudice.

Pathetic.....

Busted my friend, you're busted. I knew you couldn't back up your BS bluster, so it is quite enjoyable to watch you try to squirm out of it. You weren't even creative, you use the pathetic "you prove it, I don't have to" excuse. Weak, oh so very weak.

You make a claim, and then when challenged you squirm and attack the questioner. You're not fooling anyone, quite the opposite, you've confirmed what we all already knew, that FNC is as biased as.....YOU ARE!

Squawker

You really need to grow up Champ. I couldn't prove Fox was Fair and Balanced to you. It would be a fools errand to try. You wouldn't accept anything I posted, just as you haven't done in the past. I remind you again, this is about the left wing bias, not the right. We have several threads bashing Fox already, thanks.

I think what you wrote is a cop-out, sorry. I would accept your facts, just as I accepted that there is a liberal bias in media. Didn't you read my acknowledgment of that in earlier posts in this very thread?

I think you and I and everyone reading this knows the truth, but you just are unwilling to admit it. Not sure if you're doing it because you're blindly loyal, or perhaps it's a pride thing? Of course Pride is one of the 7 deadly sins, so perhaps it might be time to consider the benefits of simply admitting a mistake when you make one? It is cleansing, and it is also sophisticated....
