plus, the democratic party isnt even on the left side of the political spectrum, they're moderates. american politics has been perverted with a right wing slant, and hence the democrats are only left in relation to the republicans, who are also are much more conservative then most americans relize (borderline fascists)

What? America is a centrist nation with Dems being left and Repubs being right. There is no conservative slant. The Dems have been moving farther left, especially sense many moderates got defeated. Nancy Pelosi is not a centrist, nor is she a member of the right.

America is a center-right nation. Center being the dems, Right being the reps. This is fact.

Compared to what? What proof do you have to back this? Politically Dems are left of center, Repubs are right of center. Power changes and balances to keep the nation in the middle.

I'm sure you do. No fair and balanced news organization would let Democrats talk.



MSNBC didn't want Democrats as its audience at all - they lost the lucrative extreme right to Fox News, and found the only person they had pulling in any numbers was Keith Olbermann. So now they dish out Democratic-flavored entertainment while promulgating center-right memes. Nice to see you again, Great Khan.

That was a pitiful attempt. here's real propaganda.

Busted! MSNBC Caught Dishonestly Editing Town Hall Gun Footage (UPDATED) | Mediaite

LOL This blew CNN's Rick Sanchez away. He thought he was going to be doing a story on a white gun totin' anti-Obama tea partier.
It was a black gun totin' pro Obama Pro HC protester. He managed to regroup (sort of) but didn't get the story he wanted.
Anyway, the CNN tape is priceless, unless your a tea party hating liberal.

You truly haven't a clue do you?

If one were to leave their parent's basement every so often and ... oh, I don't know ... maybe go to a sporting event or a game show (you know, something that is televised) they would know that there are such things as applause signs, announcements that we are about to "go live", etc... As for FOX News "stage-managing Tea Parties", it was a live broadcast and she was letting everyone know that they were broadcasting live. I've been to hundreds of sporting events and I've even been on a talk show (full disclosure - it was on FOX News) and getting the crowd fired up as you are going live is nothing new - it's the norm. I've also been to Tea Party events, and there is nothing "staged" at all. But with such reliable sources such as C&L, Media Matters (Not) and Huffington Post, you must be right. :roll:

So regular guests contributors and guets: Juan Williams, Alan Colmes, Ellis Henican, Joe Trippi, Bob Beckel, Kirsten Powers, Marc Lamont Hill, Tanya Acker, Leslie Marshall and others don't actually "talk" when they are on FOX News? Funny, because I see their lips moving and words coming out of their mouths. Oh, I get it - you don't actually watch FOX News, you just get your information from those reputable (HA) places I mentioned earlier. You know, one of them you even linked to for "proof" of propaganda.

And how about MSNBC and their propaganda:

Did you watch their election coverage? They had Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews as their anchors. Or how about Lawrence O'Donnell and this:

Let me see if I understand this correctly: You think failing to note a fact that you find politically convenient constitutes "propaganda," and "blows away" a Fox News producer choreographing crowd cheering at a "grassroots" tea party event?

Uh, no - it was a Ron Paul supporter put up to bringing the AR-15 by a right-wing radio host in order to stage an inflammatory interview. Did you even read your own link?

You must be some kind of wizard. I would have never known this stuff without you telling me, or non-partisan Fox News telling me about how MSNBC is a tool for the Democratic party which I agree probably is except that oh wait, Fox News is incredibly horribly biased to the point that they make no effort to disguise it. Proof?

Fox News Channel controversies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roger Ailes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia President of Fox News

Not to mention countless clips as such your single one. Hmm now that I feel smug and assured in my post I will end in something I believe is witty and shows my intellectual superiority.

Class dismissed.

I would have too agree, and I'm an Atheist. Thought I also think that CNN, and PBS seem less bias as opposed too FOX and MSNBC.

So I shoot down your theories and all you can come back with is this? You need to go back to class.
 
Following the rules "What is the least biased news outlet?"
Paying attention to the wording I answered CNN otherwise I would have answered none of the above if it had been an option.

Anybody that answered Fox or MSNBC is either joking, blind and bias themselves or a complete idiot, pick one :)

How did you shoot down anything I said? You give Fox of all sources as a source to MSNBC being biased. If I wanted to go eye for an eye I would just post one of the 100 times a week MSNBC does the same thing towards Fox, instead I gave you hard sourceable facts not some horse **** from one of these networks.

Autobots transform.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Yes I read it. Did you? Besides, this was a town hall meeting before the health care bill passed. I don't even think people knew who rand paul was then.

Assertions of liberal bias
Assertions of pro-Obama bias
MSNBC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
So regular guests contributors and guets: Juan Williams, Alan Colmes, Ellis Henican, Joe Trippi, Bob Beckel, Kirsten Powers, Marc Lamont Hill, Tanya Acker, Leslie Marshall and others don't actually "talk" when they are on FOX News?

half of those tools are conservatives themselves, who occasionally chime in with the 'I vote democrat, and even I, me being a moderate democrat, think Obama is a socialist!' the other half are the biggest bunch of idiots i've ever seen and basically play the role of Colmes, sit there and nod there heads until Hannity gives them his permission to speak, where they then udder some scripted bull**** until Hannity interupts them again.
 
I don't know much about ABC or CBS, but I def know Fox and MSNBC are biased.. so I voted CNN..

I am actually a little surprised to see so many republicans saying FOX is unbiased... They have so many people who work for their network who are or were active members in the GOP, and during the election it was all anti Obama.. running documentaries 24/7 about Ayers, dug up tapes of Wright's sermons, and played a role in his admin firing a woman for supposed racism.

Now I know all of you are going to fire off.... but the media was still overall more favorable to Obama! BUT nearly the majority of the negatives for Obama were from that one network and positives for McCain/Palin were probably also coming from that network.. it's obviously biased. Even if you try to argue it's a balance in the overall media, it's still obviously biased.

The only unbiased person on that network might be Shep Smith, but I haven't watch him enough to know..

There was no one else covering Obama's background. Fox was the only one. The others were all reporting Palin "bad" Obama "good"

Obama got the biggest pass from the mainstream media in modern history.

CNN is a major Dem mouthpiece

And you don't thin McCain or Palin can be linked to sketchy people from their past who were radicals or went to prison? Fox News didn't give equal time to all the candidates and there past in those terms..
 
Im not sure you can call what we have in the US news. Every station has a bias. In Canada and some countries in europe they have some pure news organizations.

Its not just bias. When you have advertisement you need ratings. Ratings means telling the audience what you think they want to hear. Your now an entertainer.

So your saying just because Obama's backround was unkown to many folks, that excuses blatant lies and unceasing attacks?
