Air America and Bias in the media

[brewer12345]

Heh, and don't forget the Fox "News" so-called accidents, like putting Mark Foley on with "D" (for Democrat) next to his name once the scandal broke. They did this more than once.

We have Air America here in Seattle and I've listened to it a couple of times - I always thought it was funny to hear that kind of programming from progressives.

I think the "problem" with that kind of radio is this: most liberals are just that, liberal. We believe others are entitled to their opinions and don't particularly feel like getting bent out of shape when other people do something we don't like. Of course this administration has pushed me too far, I don't think they have what is best for America on their agendas - but unlike "dittoheads" etc. I don't like to get all worked up everyday about some trivial issue that takes away from the overall goal of being a better person.

Agreed, except for when I am falling asleep behind the wheel.

Foley is a Democrat! He's always been a Democrat, and he has been masquerading as a Republican for years. All that time waiting to drop his little scandalous email timebomb and torpedo the GOP just prior to a critical election. I think I heard this on talk radio.

Good one! That is the one thing these radio stations are good for!

That would be pretty wild, but he should have done it in 2004!!!

Everybody know that. Fox couldn't show it if it wasn't true, could they?

"On the radio on the BBC World News, this story was very bigGlobal Warming)

They mentioned that the story was a big deal in Europe but not covered much in the U.S. press. NBC Nightly News didn't cover it at all.

Is the U.S. Media just tired of global warming or is there something else?"



Corporate Oligarchy. It's not total but infuses our culture and politics.

One of the biggest problem in mainstream American media is it's partnership with big business and by that I mean, it's total dependency on advertising. I don't see how you can have objective reporting if you are concerned about losing a sponsor. The coverage of the invasion and killing of Iraqi civilians makes my point. Reports have ranked civilians death as a direct result of American intervention anywhere from 30,000 to 200,000. How much of that was covered in the American media? Where was the outcry? I am a big fan of the BBC. They report the news straight and covers the globe indepth. Does anyone know why? Check out how BBC is funded?

Only by a small matter of degree .

Exactly.

Yeah. . . I heard that too. And he was put up to it by Clinton.

It's a shame. I expected to do well in that competition.

Now I dare anyone to come up with a more belligerent, hawkish, red-meat, conservative than Bill Kristol. I double-dare you. I double-dog dare you.

I'll take that dare.
