Actually, GOP Lawmakers Outnumbered Democratic Lawmakers 2 To 1 In Stimulus Debate On Cable News, so the "media didn't represent them" idea is bunk.

If we take that chart on face value, Fox News IS actually the most fair and balanced of them all. Just look at how many more Democrats appeared on Fox than on any other network (except of course MSNBC). Therefore, the idea that Fox is so conservative is also bunk. Good to know.

Disingenuous propaganda from the "think progress" far left hate blog and the "media matters" leftist propagandist site. First, the "Republicans" most sought after for the lefty talk shows were the 3 RINOs who voted FOR the stimulus, so the lefty talking heads could push the bogus "bipartisan" line. One can hardly call an appearance by Snowe, Collins, or for God's sake that whackjob Specter as representative of "GOP lawmakers." They were merely being useful idiots for the corrupt democrat-media complex.

Second, with the exception of Fox News, every single other media outlet listed there employs nothing but leftist talking heads to further their corrupt democrat propaganda. So, if you add the democrat interviewer into the mix, along with the likelihood that the "GOP legislator" in question was Snowe, Collins, or Specter, then what you've got there is a well-oiled democrat propaganda machine. Nice try, though.

What's that old saying? There's lies, damn lies, and then there's statistics.

I was simply reading the information presented on the bar chart.

Personally, I think the entire chart is bunk, but for those use it to defend the claim of "No Media Bias", they have to admit that the chart reveals FOX NEWS as the most balanced of all networks.

Can I just say how much I enjoy your posts? Reasonable and well-thought, are you sure that you belong here?

I agree that Obama deserves a chance and those with no ideas of their own should at least give him that chance. If he fails, that's different but crucifying him before he even fails seems counterproductive.

Thanks! I'm glad someone thinks so!

Anyone know how to set a time ticker signature that would count off this time. This guy is an idiot plain and simple. You don't know what you've got till it's gone.

and true communists dont?

Fascism is the right wing extreme, Communism is the left wing extreme. Both extreme in single party states. And if I remember correctly, the Bush White House (Rove specifically) was quite fascist in its attempts to ensure a permanent republican majority.

As much as it pains a lot of cons to hear it, Socialism is actually a moderate left wing view.

And yes, I said that with a straight face.




If it helps you sleep better, then go for it. I can share.

Sorry, but your OPINION does not constitute fact....please provide proof about your Rove accusation. Because you "dont like republicans" will not do. And of course socialism is a moderate view to someone WAY out on the extreme fringe.

"The real prize is creating a Republican majority that would be as solid as, say, the Democratic coalition that Franklin Roosevelt created -- a majority that would last for a generation and that, as it played itself out over time, would wind up profoundly changing the relationship between citizen and state in this country."
Karl Rove, May 12, 2003


"Would I like to see the Republican Party be the dominant party for whatever time history gives it the chance to be? You bet."

Karl Rove, Nov 7, 2004

Funny... with so many succesful socialist countries by US standards (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, most of Western Europe, ...) out there, either we're a planet full of extremists, or Socialism works.

Once again, you cant answer the question....i have no doubt Rove thought that, heck i wish for the same thing myself, but show me where he ATTEMPTED TO INITIATE this....you CLEARLY stated they ATTEMPTED to do it......i only see they "talked" about it. Once again, no proof, you lose!!

 

[photobob]

until Jan. 20, 2013.

It cannot come soon enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I can say is anything has to be better than what we had the previous eight years.

I give up with you. You win, but guess what.

This is the internet. Even if you win, NO ONE CARES.

Me? I'm gonna go outside and enjoy this lovely Sunday evening. I'll have a drink, I hope you have one too.

I am so tired of the media hates us crap.

Tell me exactly what this graph proves? It shows the number of appearances for cable tv. Which proves the content of the interviews???

It fails to mention "the MSM". How much sway do they hold? Were they accurately portraying the facts..both sides..or just their version of the truth?

Most folks come home from work, help kids with homework, cook dinner, get kids ready for bed, pay bills, tidy up, etc. They have little time to "investigate". They turn on the six o'clock news and listen to "sound bites".

We are not the norm. Not everyone has the stomach for "politics".

 

[denisenh]

WOW, there is just so much wrong with your post......it may take me 3 hours to type all the facts to dispute just about every word in it, but i will have to come back tomorrow and do it, its 2am here, and i need to get up early and do what those liberals hate most......work hard, so i can support my self and pay those taxes ( of course its those taxes they really want me to pay so they can give it away to those who DONT work by choice) NITE!!

whats that (bolded type) supposed to mean?

The bias media is a big cop out.


The way people whine and cry about the big mean bias media is childish.
If my children pouted this much they would be sent to their rooms.
I would tell them to suck it up, life is not fair and it surely does not revolve around them.

You sound like a broken record, a scratched CD, and a stuck iPod... all in one.

FINALLY, everyone can now understand how we who were Bush supporters have felt for the last 8 years! Because YOU all sounded the same way with your redundant Bush bashing!

Isn't it funny that people on this thread can sit here and ask "don't you have anything better to do than to post this?" It's probably the same people who posted 1,000 Bush bashing threads. LOL

I never posted one.

Feel free to search through my posts for the past 8 years.

I'm confused...I thought this was going to be a countdown to Disney World in 2013 thread....

Nobody could really be that worked up over the end of a term by a president who has been on the job for less than 2 months!!! My goodness, in my dinky little retail job, you still have 6 weeks of paid training just to learn how to punch numbers into a register. Geesh....

I'm the one that asked that question and I have never once started an anti-Bush or anti-GOP thread. See, I actually believe in giving people a chance to prove themselves before we cast them into eternal damnation.

 

[CookieDiva]

Search my posts. I have rarely, if EVER, posted to a political thread. And, most certainly, I have never started one!

So, you're into name calling? If someone has an opposing view... they're childish?
