The CEO of CBS's parent company endorses President Bush.

From The Asian Wall Street Journal
With the scandal at CBS still festering, questions are being raised about whether a felony was committed when the network broadcast apparently forged memos in an attempt to discredit George W. Bush. Yesterday, the chairman of CBS's parent company chose Hong Kong as a place to drop a little bomb. Sumner Redstone, who calls himself a "liberal Democrat," said he's supporting President Bush.

That just about covers everything except Fox, and there is no doubt where they are.

Re: Media bias is a bunch of BS

All those #'s mean nothing tree, sorry. All you have to do is listen to the MSM news or read the papers and you can see the bias.

Just this morning on CBS the reporter was reporting on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and said "....while the US fights this so called war on terror..."

Re: Media bias is a bunch of BS

Take a poll of all the people in the newsrooms who actually are the MSM and you will find a vast, vast majority consider themselves liberals. These numbers have been reported, I just don't have them at hand.

There is a distinct, destructive bias and it is scary you would think different.

Re: Media bias is a bunch of BS

You need to talk to Bernie Goldberg, news reporter for CBS news for 30 years who wrote the book, "Bias". You should read it. I did, facinating.

Your numbers mean nothing, other than maybe there is a point to that saying "rich republicans!" LOLOL

Re: Media bias is a bunch of BS

I don't like the media at all. They are like a bunch of cheerleaders for the opposing team if you ask me. They can make or break someones career and I'm thinking they can also make or break a country. The latter is what they are doing now. Right after 9-11 is proof of that. The country was together and wanted to kick butt, now it is tuck our tail and run. I don't like the idea of the media purposely destroying our country. Good news just doens't sell like bad does. Again everything comes down to the all mightly buck.

This thread makes no sense. My boss is a screaming liberal. Therefore I am one too?

Can I get a fart from the congregation?

How can we "put it to rest" if it keeps occurring, while you libs continue to deny it, Tree?
I know WHY you want to silence the repetitious drumbeat of the conservatives about libral bias, but your efforts are little more than an O.T. So it is not going to happen!! I will be here to point it out as often as you deny it.
So, rather than reopening old wounds, I have a better idea. Let's drum it into your head once again. Who knows, Tree -- maybe it will eventually sink-in? Yeah yeah, maybe some day when pigs fly, i know -- but after all, you're trying to launch BS into orbit right now. Aint ya?

The ORIGINAL photo, before it was chopped showing a bored Cindy and an empty book signing;

How the media cropped that pic;

That illustrates how they played you like a cheap fiddle -- while you STILL want more!!


The media's attempt to spawn class warfare"

Murtha god caught on tape

Murtha's antiwar stancce overshaddows "abscam" past

http://www.nypost.com/news/nationalnews/66878.htm

The "dead baby" trick almost werked... Remember that one, tree?

They lament the loss of Jefferson.. The KATRINA propaganda, as of one month ago, has yet to stop!!

I must stop here, only due to iboat's "six-link" limitiation on posts.
Keep in mind I illustrated only on some of what the drive-by's have REPORTED.
I'll think about posting a reply about some of the ones they DID NOT report!!!

But there are many more examples... And it aint "rocket surgery" to find a lot of them by GOOGLing (or in my case, YAHOOing) "media+bias" or something.
I guess you have to get over the urge to join your champions in the media by using their same transparent attempt to MISSLEAD. After all, it's ok to be lazy, Tree. But you really need to do your homewerk before blindy reporting falsehoods in the same way your hero, Dan Rather did. Us ole neo-cons have done stripped the wings n tailfeathers off your BS here AND IT NO LONGER FLIES!!

And how does saying the words ?so called? indicate liberal media bias? More that likely, in the same report, on the same program, you could have seen some conservative bias if you were looking for it.

Re: Media bias is a bunch of BS

I wouldn't be surpirsed if that was A source of the data. I read a lot and don't necessarily tuck away the specific sources. it is also buttressed by daily affirmations in the behavior of the media, what gets presented and how.

with my local paper the star-trib, it is very clear that they make selections based on bias. If Keith Ellison were a republican, he would not be a congressman right now. The star-trib has turned a blind eye to every transgression that has been brought to light. Including the latest flap he had in speaking to a bunch of Atheists. they even defended his comments.

While I believe the media to be heavily weighted in liberals, much like our universities, I do not necessarily believe it is a widespread organized bias (organized around the destruction of Bush). I believe the agenda creeps in because of their beliefs (they hate bush and cannot write objectively). Without balance, the whole discussion moves left and becomes the new center, when it really is far left. To the insane, the sane seem insane.

Re: Media bias is a bunch of BS

A couple more..

Cindy sheehan was treated as the darling of the media as long as she was useful. then she was discarded.

Why was she a darling, when the swift Boat vets, were treated and still are treated like trash. The integrity of substance in this comparison clearly swings to the SBV's.

Why does cindy get broad coverage and Vets who criticize the administration get lead off stories, when a large delegation of Iraq war vets have descended upon Washinton this week to demonstrate that the job should be finsihed. They have met with senators and congresssmen and held press conferences, all in the deafening silence and indifference of the MSM.

Re: Media bias is a bunch of BS

We have only to reflect on what the senate did last night to know there is very real, very left-leaning liberal bias in the media. What a circus that was, huh!!??


Yet, we still have our own share of appologists for the drive-by media's continual deceit:

And still, not a peep outta the drive-by media!

Well, I don't speak for the media, but a National Guard sniper shooting his wife is a bit unusual--ie news. And lots of people have wives and/or husbands, and the two don't always get along. Therefore, there is a general interest in the story (read:more readers of it)
The occasional lunatic trying to make some statement of some sort is not all that unusual, nor do people generally care much what that statement may be.

It's a competitive business driven more by business concerns than political agendas, and editors make choices. That is not new, I am afraid. If you really want to feel like a victim, go ahead, I suppose. It's up

The first thing out of the bag is of a picture of footers secret crush, signing a book.

Thee next is a link to the ?Cato Institute? Founded in 1977 by a libertarian a activists, here is a list of Cato,s corporate sponsors.== Cato's corporate sponsors include: Philip Morris, R.J. Reynolds, Bell Atlantic Network Services, BellSouth Corporation, Digital Equipment Corporation, GTE Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Netscape Communications Corporation, NYNEX Corporation, Sun Microsystems, Viacom International, American Express, Chase Manhattan Bank, Chemical Bank, Citicorp/Citibank, Commonwealth Fund, Prudential Securities and Salomon Brothers. Energy conglomerates include: Chevron Companies, Exxon Company, Shell Oil Company and Tenneco Gas, as well as the American Petroleum Institute, Amoco Foundation and Atlantic Richfield Foundation. Cato's pharmaceutical donors include Eli Lilly & Company, Merck & Company and Pfizer, Inc. The ones I have underlined represent about ten percent of Cato?s funding.

As for the Murtha links, I don?t know how to answer them in context of the subject. What the hell does what Murtha says about redeploying troops in Iraq; have to do with media bias? That was covered by Fox news as well as the alphabet News.

Murtha has to do with drive-by bias as you have to do with it. They feed both of you.
Murtha would be a traitor, had he been where he is today in 1944 or 1945. What difference is there, Tree?
There were the Earnie Pyles and Edward R Murrows, but even they had standards. Even in their desent of America, they stuck to the truth, and told both sides.. sure, they mutter a lot about how the enemy was real, and had to be defeated -- BUT THEY TOLD BOTH SIDES!
My links are not all to your operatives in the drive by, but to illustrate the BIAS. After all, that is the subject of your own thread here, is it not?!!

I showed you where such bias was uncovered, or where the lies your minions have spun have twisted the truth so badly, that even history books are likely to get the events wrong!!! After all, that is the intent of you propaganda attempts ,as it has always been with your alphabet media.

By showing the RIGHT side of those issues, I thaught you would get some insight on the massive quantities of koolaide you had consumed. But your expressed ignorance is bliss i reckon. Keep drinkin. IT may do no good at all, but I'll point your staggering shell in the right direction every time. It's up to you to wake yourself up.
