Media bias? Cons morally deficient.........??

"...liberal journalism elites are hopelessly out of touch with everyday Americans. Their friends are liberals, just as they are. They share the same values. Almost all of them think the same way on the big social issues of our time: abortion, gun control, feminism, gay rights, the environment, school prayer. After a while they start to believe that all civilized people think the same way they and their friends do, That's why they don't SIMPLY DISAGREE WITH CONSERVATIVES. THEY SEE THEM AS MORALLY DEFICIENT." This is a quote from a man who served thirty years as a journalist. He contends that 'liberal bias' doesn't simply mean being hard on Reps. and easy on Dems......real media bias is the result of how those in the media see the world - and their bias directly affects how WE ALL see the world. Now, my friends in Yahoo Land...........what is your spin on this? There IS bias in the liberal media.........it's a given. ("BIAS" by Bernard Goldberg, pub. 2002 - see page 24)

Media bias? Cons morally deficient.........??
Liberals suffer from elite subjectivity wherein there is no acceptable solution to problems unless it comes from within their own ranks which includes most of the media. Their "morality" is adequately described in Col. 2:8; "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of man, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." In other words, it's a dead end exercise in the ultimate futility. No thanks, I'll take my own morality which has a Deity base.
Reply:Everyone is entitled to his liberal view point in America, but conservatives are dogged by ACLU and CNN complaints to silence the right.





Case-in-point is the network's recent, ad-nauseum repeats of the CNN-YouTube-sponsored Democratic debate from July 23. Either CNN is really hard-up for programming or the network is trying to promote the Democratic party. I'm going to go with the latter as questions from the debate panel - YouTube users - strongly leaned to the left.





Only the CNN of the 1990s could have dragged these questions out of the pot. Most of the questions didn't tip-toe around bias; they hit it square-on. Most of the questions portrayed Republicans as gun toting, health-care denying religious zealots. One question featured a man with an assault weapon he called his "baby." Others featured everything from a talking, melting snowball asking about global warming to the atheist who was concerned with politicians pandering to religious Americans. Presidential debates are usually tremendously formal affairs; however, the CNN-YouTube debate was a scam!





On the other hand, a May 25 NBC Nightly News report, correspondent Campbell Brown reported claims of liberal bias in public broadcasting by Kenneth Y. Tomlinson, the Republican chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), and Cliff Kincaid, an editor at the conservative watchdog group Accuracy in Media (AIM), but the report provided no evidence to support these allegations and offered no assessment about whether they are credible.





As a liberal Fox basher said, "At least FOX hasn't flip flopped- they've alway been blatantly conservatively biased!"
Reply:I have heard some people get mad about BET and black newspapers... but to be honest, I think they are owned by the same companies that own the other newspapers.





It's all a scam.





You can take over a country without firing a single bullet.





1. Take over education - especially political science, arts, and history





2. Take over the media





3. Get lots of lawyers on your side.





4. Establish and control civil rights groups





5. Buy off politicians (who are mostly lawyers)





6. Control Entertainment (main source of free speech)





7. If any opposition pops up you don't like or agree with buy, squash, deflamate, take control buy whatever means necessary.





8. Get your bought politicians to buy your crap using taxpayers money.





9. Control religion





10. Set up a satelite country in case things get bad. Get your bought politicians to send mass foreign aid there. Also get your bought religious leaders to ask for charity.





11. Above all find a scapegoat. Two or three if you can to blame all your problems on.





I hope nothing like that ever happens here in America. Thank goodness we have free press and a constitution that protects us from such things occurring.





Good Luck !!!
