GE, which owns MSNBC, gave equal amounts to both major parties.

It's a bad omen. But it's not like anyone doesn't know FOX and the WSJ editorial page are rapidly right--or like they could move any further right.

Yes, they got rid of all their journalists back in the late 90's, and havent hired any since. During the 2008 election for the Office of the President, no one took GOP News seriously, because it would promot Mr. McCain, and bash Mr. Obama at every moment it could. They promoted and encouraged the birther movement. They attacked cnn's coverage of the Tea Party Express. Yeah, that OTHER bus, that followed the Tea Party Express bus....which company was using that bus? GOP News attacked with bias coverage of the Health Care Act, rather then report facts. They did not slam the 'Death Panels' crap, but advertised it on their infomerials (Like 'Fox & Friends'). Or does anyone want to make the arguement that Mr. Beck gives the total and complete facts on gold....let alone any other subject?

I would have been surprised if GOP News DIDN'T give the GOP any money.

I think that's a freakin' hoot, because he said that to all that complained about the hypocrisy of his move into the satellite business in China that he would be a good influence on the freedom movement.  (And we know how free markets are how China operates.)

When the Chinese government complained about the BBC's covered of Tianamen, he blocked it per their request.  He goes whatever generates the most bucks.

So much for fair and balanced is right...

quote:

Whether you sample your news feed from ABC or CBS (or, yes, even NBC and MSNBC), whether you prefer Fox News Channel or National Public Radio, The Wall Street Journal or The New Yorker, some of the journalists feeding you are also feeding cash to politicians, parties or political action committees.

MSNBC.com identified 143 journalists who made political contributions from 2004 through the start of the 2008 campaign, according to the public records of the Federal Election Commission. Most of the newsroom checkbooks leaned to the left: 125 journalists gave to Democrats and liberal causes. Only 16 gave to Republicans. Two gave to both parties.

Complete inability to separate private and professional judgment.

You go further round the bend day by day servant.

I'd rather see facts than "fair and balanced".  Balanced coverage in WWII would've been Hitler and Stalin (fascism/communism).  A lot of journalism nowadays always presents 2 views regardless of how bogus one of the views is, instead of fact checking and saying "that ain't true".

Status: offline 		And again Servant.....what is your issue with a union,any union at all.....exercising their free speech right to contribute to the party of their choice?
And to put a point on it.....how is that the same as a "news" organization ...whose stock in trade is supposed to objectivity doing the same?
