corysub -> Biden is coming up with and getting away with more stupidity (10/1/2008 7:32:59 PM)

Biden sits on a train with a woman media person from CBS and pontificates on "what makes a leader".  He discusses in his usual profound, self-assured BS tone..."FDR was a leader...when the crash happened in 1929 he went on TV and addressed the nation"!!!!! Only problem idiot, is that FDR was not president at the time...Mr. Hoover was, and TV was still a lab experiment.

I wonder if Sarah Palin had said something like this if Wolf Blitzer, and Couric, Matthews and Ubarmann would not beat on her for days.  Since the media is in the pocket of the liberals, this comic statement by the VP nominee of the democrat party is buried.

Don't you guys ever come up with better reasoning than this? When media, frankly, is more conservative than ever, and if anything, is just lazy and sloppy?

FOX, talk radio......

Guess reality indeed has a liberal bias.

Oh boy... there we go again. Do you mean the liberal media like Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, The Washington Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post, The Weekly Standard, WorldNetDaily (where O'Reilly blogs, I think) or Coulter and her cohorts of harpies and trolls?

PS: I should forward that list to Palin, so she can learn it by heart.

Actually, I was thinking more of
                  The New York Times,
                       The Los Angeles Times
                              The Washington Post
                                    CBS News - Whats left of it..
                                         ABC
                                             NBC
                                                 CNN
                                                    MSNBC
                                                       Colbert
                                                           SNL..controlled by Al Frankin and Chevy Chase I guess..

                Lets see..I get Fox and WABC talk radio..?    Guess your right, conservative media is more powerful.                      [sm=duel.gif]

The right-wing media machine is more powerful, more vociferous, more widespread, and far, far louder. Indeed, I don't see what you're complaining about.




Hippiekinkster -> RE: Biden is coming up with and getting away with more stupidity (10/1/2008 7:59:37 PM)

Oh, yes, Satuday Night Live... investigative jounalism at its finest. [8|]

         I'm confused by your meaning here, Muse.  Are you suggesting that any conservative media voice is more than should be allowed, or that conservative ideas are so powerful that they automatically dominate regardless of numerical disadvantage?




FatDomDaddy -> RE: Biden is coming up with and getting away with more stupidity (10/1/2008 8:24:27 PM)

I wonder what would happen if Biden spelled potatoe

I think the topic should be "Biden is coming up with and getting away with some stupidity, but Palin still leads the Stupidity Derby by a mile"

That aside, can you explain to me why GE, the biggest Defense contractor in the United States, which owns and controls NBC, is in the pocket of the Liberals?

The Big Media are all owned by Big Money, corysub. This constantly repeated very silly claim that America's biggest and most influential corporations are a Liberal stronghold makes me question the critical thinking skills of the people who parrot the lie.

Have you noticed, corysub, that all those people on your television, radio, newspapers, and websites who are telling you that the Liberals control the media are ... Conservatives in the media?

Nice of those media-controlling Liberals to have hired those guys, huh?






SilverMark -> RE: Biden is coming up with and getting away with more stupidity (10/2/2008 2:12:37 AM)

If Biden spelled "potatoe" he'd have to change his name to Dan Quayle and become a Republican.

Neither, Heretic--rather that "the media is in the pocket of the liberals" is a talking point, not reality.

I have heard that nonesense for years..."what liberal media, it's owned by big corporations"!  Those big corporations are mostly owned by institutions and mutual funds (General Electric 58%) and INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS..in their stock portfolio, 401K's IRA's, kids custodial accounts, widow accounts, etc etc.  This is NOT Rockerfeller, Ford,
Carnegie, Mellon or J.P.Morgan sole owned companies that dominated the economic landscape of our country.
You have to be totally deaf not to hear the liberal bias of CBS News, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC as well as most of the writers for the Associated Press.  It's not only how they slant the news to the left...it's the news they leave out and don't give to the public that might in some way damage their leftist agenda.  Sure you can mention FOX, but that is one channel on TV.  The public is starved for insight into what is going on and talk radio is super popular for that reason with tens of millions of people tuning in to listen. 

You must have seen the Biden idiocy on youtube referring to the leadership exhibited by FDR as President during the 1929 CRASH in an address to the people of America on TELEVISION!!!.  You don't see that constantly run on the aforementioned stations...but I must have seen Palin's faux pax answering Couric's question on the Supreme Court a dozen times over the past day, and twice this morning already..and it's only 8:00 AM.

No sir...maybe those college kids fawning over the man for Illinois who offers Hope...but could not tell you one thing he has done in his lifetime to mildly suggest he has the experience to be President...We are probably going to elect the head of the local debating team as President because style has become more than substance in how the populace seems to measure worth. 

What makes you people mesmerized by this charismatic radical leftist think he will be able to..or worse, WANT to do, anything he is reading off his well written speeches?  Are you that radical yourselves, or worse, that naieve? As  has been said in the past, "You can't fool all of the people all of the time, but if you can fool them ONCE, it's good for four years in the White House"




bipolarber -> RE: Biden is coming up with and getting away with more stupidity (10/2/2008 8:09:06 AM)

Besides, with Danny it wasn't just the "potatoe" fiasco... there was the whole Murphy Brown thing, and a long, long history of talking without letting out the clutch on his brain.

I seem to recall my favorite being "There's a special kind of bondage between a Mother and Daughter..."

Can I ask you what you mean by 'radical'? And how you justify calling a man who is pro free market 'a leftist'?

.......it's only relatively leftist. And that's the issue. Take an extreme right wing position and virtually anyone is to your left. You seem to take issue with news outlets attempting to find a middle ground.
The right wing media is just as selective, just as biased as any hypothetical left wing media.

i like the BBC.....and for this specific reason. In the UK every sitting government has accused it of being biased against it, left or right. Now that's the sort of media i want to see.....media that makes governments uncomfortable.




Sanity -> RE: Biden is coming up with and getting away with more stupidity (10/2/2008 2:34:53 PM)

Do you get all your information from the BBC?


BBC confesses bias on religion, politics

BBC report damns its ‘culture of bias’

We are biased, admit the stars of BBC News

Ah, so the BBC admitting the inevitable bias inherant in any reporting is seen by you as proof of irredeemable bias........while news outlets that fail to admit that bias are seen by you as honest and trustworthy.
i see it as true honesty in reporting. Those that attempt to pass off their point of view as wholly objective are the real liars.




Sanity -> RE: Biden is coming up with and getting away with more stupidity (10/2/2008 3:21:24 PM)


Hah.... I see. So, their admittance that they're shamelessly biased far to the left is a good thing.

How very... creative of you!   [sm=biggrin.gif]

...well, you can continue to keep on ignoring the points i make in pursuit of your entrenched beliefs. As stated in another thread, your partisanship makes your criticism of other peoples biases and assumptions hypocritical at best.
