Default todays media

Every one (Americans in genreal) has been talking about how the media is failing at their jobs. About how they do not report real information on things like the czars, racist supreme court jsutices, bail outs, etc... etc...

I say they are doing their jobs. They just work for the other side.

Watch the video and tell me is there really any wonder. The only place I had heard about this was from Glenn Beck.

There is really only one real news channel and that is FOX, the others are in osama's tank big time. NBC is the bottom of the stinking liberal barrel.

Beck just said the the Senate or house is voting right now on Cass Sunstein's appointment. I don't know if I have the d
name right but he is the one who wants to ban hunting and thinks animals can sue people. This could be the worse blow to hunting on the planet.

I guess the vote right now is to cut off debate on his nomination, The Judge on FOX thinks that he will also be the next Judge appointed to the supream court. He is a close friend to osama and taught with him, A real soul mate, Thanks to much liberals. I hope you were not hunters.

Fox is the only television news network I watch, but I wouldn't call them a "real" news channel. A real news channel would report the news without bias. The only real news channel left is C-Span. But of the major networks, I believe CNN is closer to the center now than Fox.

When it originated, Fox was very good. Their primetime programming was conservative-based, obviously, but their news coverage was just as their slogan suggested: Fair and balance. For whatever reason, they kept moving further and further to the right. Since Obama's election, they've completely shrugged off any pretense of being without bias.

What's interesting -- maybe coincidence, but interesting -- is that as Fox's news coverage has become more biased, their ratings for daytime news coverage have slipped big time.

They have to be right wing, every other one is so damn far to the left that how else would we ever have a hint of what is going on. The other networks would kill for the Rating FOX has. I don't know if CNN is even on anymore, I have not watched it for many years and most likely never will. They didn't say a word about Jones, No use for any of them as long as they are in osama's pocket.

The liberal skunk media forgot to mention that July was the deadliest month to date in Afghanistan. They probably would have brought it up if Bush was still president???

The media has been so far to the left from the days of Walter Cronkite, nothing has changed.

I remember seeing the over inflated numbers of American KIA's while I was in Viet Nam and down playing our enemy KIA's playing into the hands of the anti-war protesters and thus adding gasoline to the fames of hating returning G.I.s..
I remember my warm reception to the states after two tours.

I like to watch all the news outlets (well, I cant stomach MSNBC anylonger). Some more than the other. It amazes me how much the big three ignore.

While I agree that a lot of bias is displayed, the fact is that bias is timeless; hardly new.

The "news" cannot be gathered, resolved to writing, the spoken without inflection and bias by any human being.

Even the idea that a reporter should give "both sides" is flawed because of the inherent human tendency to see what we believe is there before we got there.

The left plays on feelings. Logic almost always takes a back seat to feeling. The struggle will continue.

I also agree that Fox is getting out there at times with the ranting commentary designed to counterbalance the left, but mostly intended to get ratings. Despite that, I'm glad it exists and it is where I turn for what I hope is closest to the truth.
