Re: NAACP - Liable for hate speech?
mrbscott,<br /><br />You missed the point again. I didn't say that left leaning journalists are hacks, I SAID JOURNALISTS ARE HACKS. You seem to have a problem with the left leaning one's or at least know that most journalists are left leaning, (80+% identify themselves as democrats/socialists)<br /><br />Case in point: The journalistic community chose to believe ambassador Wilson with his bias report, he clearly had an axe to grind, on the Urainium to Iraq story. Opinions printed as truths, and blame assessed without so much as a week's research. How about Sandy Burgler's being identified in the news as a Clinton aide, when up until yesterday he was a Kerry aid. (Wonder why)It isn't always what you write it is what you omit and they omit anything that doesn't meet their specific agendas. LEFT OR RIGHT!!!!!!!!! The NEW YORK TIMES, you know the one called the paper of record for the US, had a reporter they knew was making up stories and the lied, hid the fact, and kept him on the paper. Honest Journalism? Gone in this country.<br /><br />
And I'll tell ya what....the media should apologize over the uranium story when the President apologizes for sending the country to war when there was obviously no imminent threat from Iraq.
FALSE, as the information is disseminated over time, the President, with the approval of congress (all but one goof) approved action after reading the same reports as the president, is being proved correct as the FACTS are sifted through and not your opinion that consistant opinions constitute facts theory falls down. Your response is what children do, adults admit when they are wrong.<br /><br /><br />
Look at fox and look at abc. Fox is more to the right, while abc is more left. Now go to their homepages and read the news. The facts are the same on both sites, but the opinions about the facts are quite different. It's called being "fair and balanced". <br />
Nice try but you forgot, MSNBC, CNN, CBS PBS, HN, NBC, MTV, LOCAL NEWS, AP, REUTERS, BBC...... on the left, but you are right there is FOX NEWS on the right.<br /><br />
Until the media flat out lies about what they claim is fact, then they are entitled to their opinions, as long as the facts stay the same.
False, that is not journalism, that is why we have the WEEKLY WORLD NEWS. If you want to be a schill for one side or the other, identify yourself as such. By pretending to be balance you give the impression of presenting FACTS, all the FACTS. Interpreting the facts belongs on the opinion page. Because they are opinions at that point.<br /><br />Again you focused on something outside the core issue of the discussion. I will be posting additional data to help you gain further perspective on abortion and the public view of it at some time in the future, but again missed the meat. We live in a representative republic. What the masses think is irrelavent in the short term. We vote in a person to represent the best interest of the constituancy, not always what the masses want. To go against popular opinion to do the right thing takes guts and courage, something our current crop of elected officials seem to lack. We are a busy people and don't have time to tear apart every issue and determine the correct course of action, we elect people to do that and make the RIGHT decision not the popular one. The founding fathers made changing the laws a slow and difficult process for a reason.<br /><br />If I linked you to a murder I would be kicked off this site cuz it would be considered HATEFUL. Calling someone a hilter would do the same, identifing you as a racist would do the same. This is what the NAACP does. Therefor, by the definitions used by this site they are a hate group.
