August 7, 200422 yr I refuse to argue this with you. You dont like FOX b/c you THINK its conservative. And the truth is that it isnt, you refuse to believe in the concept of 'liberal media' b/c what they say that is liberal you agree with, same as conservatives agree with more on fox news. None of those stations is totally unbiased, but fox is no worse than any of the other US stations. And to say fox is a disgrace is being ignorant, I'm sorry that you have no tolerance for people who think differently than you, but as a conservative when i watch CNN there is a liberal bias in the commentaries, and thats how our U.S. media works. Is it correct? No.? heres a logical puzzle for you....If Fox news is a disgrace b/c of 'conservative' bias then CNN is a disgrace b/c of liberal bias. 500319[/snapback] Let me just make something clear. There is not one station that I don't think sucks. ALL SUCK big time. FOX just sucks more. CNN is closely getting there. They're all bias. I am sorry but as liberal as I am I can tell you that there is absolutely no "liberal" bias in any news media. In fact, I think they're all trying to copy FOX's format because it brings more ratings and revenue. I repeat, they're all incredibly bias. To get a greater picture, I have to watch all of them and draw my own conclusions. FOX is just impossible to watch. It is a screaming contest. 500351[/snapback] I agree they all suck but the reason you dislike fox most is b/c it has a more conservative bias. I hate CNN most b/c it has a liberal bias. The more liberal you are the harder to realize how liberally biased stations like CNN are. And it has been liberally biased long before the days of foxnews, and Im not talking about programming I'm talking about what they pass around as being hard news
August 7, 200422 yr Praising Obama and Clinton? Tucker Carlson, a fierce conservative, liked Obama's speech and didnt like Clinton. Let me ask you this, CNN had two extremem conservatives, Novak and Carlson, covering the speeches. How many did foxnews? You argument with cyberlina had no foundation. You just say there is a liberal bias so there is. I think whats more accurate is any station that doesnt activley push the conservative agenda had a "liberal bias" to you. Ill ask you again, what station has ANY, ANY, liberl commentators by themselves? How many conservatives does foxnews have? And please refer to my earlier post in which conservatives, by higher percantages, favor a mouthpiece for their views and conservatives by only 3 percent less than Foxnews see CNN as legit.

They're all biased. I wish my news weren't regurgitated news. I don't want my news to be presented to me in pretty packages for me to swallow or to have the staple of someone else's opinion. Why is it so hard to just present information without offering commentary? I guess it is too much to ask for them to not slant the news in favor of their opinion. The news should be just that, news, but FOX, CNN, MSNBC and the rest present the news and commentary together and it is impossible to differentiate opinion from fact.

People need to educate themselves and not blindly follow what is said in media and take it all in w/o question
August 7, 200422 yr People need to educate themselves and not blindly follow what is said in media and take it all in w/o question Or maybe the media needs to take more responsibility and acklowedge the awesome power it has over the general populace...Id say that is more doable.

People need to educate themselves and not blindly follow what is said in media and take it all in w/o question 500422[/snapback] That is part of the problem. A great percentage hardly reads and usually get their information solely from TV, which is usually the most sensationalist and biased medium of all. Very few read at all. This way people are more susceptible to be influenced by other's opinions rather than using their personal judgement. It is hard for me sometimes to even make a distinction between truth and exageration; sometimes I catch myself repeating the patterns of extremism that I deplore on others. But part of being mature is learning from one's mistakes. If one can't ever admit to being wrong, then one is dogmatic. The media bias doesn't help anyone to make fair judgements and contribute to the extremism of people's opinions. It has become increasingly difficult to discern whether someone is telling the truth or is lying.
August 9, 200422 yr Author I hate CNN for one reason. They always show the poor, abused Palestinians. And they display the Israeli's as arrogant sons of b****es. The day CNN actually poses a fair story toward Israel is the day that FOX News isn't republican headquarters anymore.
