Get over it.
you have some kind of data to back that up with or you just happy to repeat what your handlers have told you to say?
if you have some data that would be great. i'll wait.
However, on FoxNews, there is NO liberal voice AT ALL and they literally promote only one side of the arguments presented. That is the direct opposite of 'Fair and Balanced'.
There is NO comparison when you compare apples to apples.
It probably goes back a LOT farther, but I personally started to notice it during the Bush years, when the media started reporting on Bush's illegal wiretapping. These facts, this event, this thing that made people ashamed of their party, had to be scapegoated as opposition, liberal news.
That, and the new conservative ideology that runs parallel to their idea of "bipartisanship." You give them everything they ask, they accept nothing less. If you write a negative story about the Republican party, you ARE the opposition.
Like Ned Flanders says in the Simpsons, "I say there are some things we don't WANT to know! IMPORTANT things!"
Funny how we don't hear a PEEP from the media now that Obama has expanded and now OWNS the wiretap issue.
one more time now, you have some data laying around there or are we supposed to go with your subjective take?
There's some data, and when all added up, shows that the NBC's of the world are biased to a fault.
False.

Would a media organization with a truly liberal bias let someone post an Op-Ed calling for more civilian deaths in Afghanistan?
So MM is right to an extent, but no one is close to Fox in the level of subversion. Just because Godzilla and a salamander are both reptiles does not mean they are equal. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and others simply are not left-wing biased, for if they were, they would have reported on 8 years of high crimes and misdemeanors committed by the Bush administration.
You do know that Republicans are everywhere don't you? They are on more then one channel. Roger Ailes admitted that he is not into politics, he's into the ratings business. Even some of us Democrats watch to see how easily you can be persuaded.
You sure sound like one.
coffee shot out my nose when I read that, but it was WORTH it!
We only meant the "opinion" part
Only journalists like O'Keefe and his barbie
It's because nobody else is fair and balanced
It was satire, goshdarnit!
Talk about being behind in the times.
Do you consider yourself a wingnut?
You being the internet guru that you are, when did you get a domain?
How someone could go on a rant and be as backwards as the ones she's making fun was expected on this site.
Sarah disappeared. Exactly where did I fail?
And whoopdee doo, you ran a BBS, hahaha.
So when did you get your first domain?
Sarah was saying how conservatives are so computer illiterate and didn't even know about the internet in 2000.
Why are you trying to change the subject? That is unless you are a conservative.
Why are you trying to change the subject? That is unless you are a conservative."
annnd... that has to do with having a domain name how? I know about planes but I don't own one. I know about countries but I don't rule over one. I also know alot about idiots, but unlike you, I'm not one. she said "many of them" not "all" which is what you assumed from that post. you ignore all the responses that blow your arguments out of the water and then pick fights over "who owned a domain name on the internet first". if you want your arguments and ideals to be taken seriously, I would highly suggest doing research and respond with well thought out posts. otherwise we all look at you as a troll, which doesn't help your side of the political spectrum at all.
Jesus, is this guy stuck on stupid!
