"When the man pretending to be Kasaam suggests to Schiller that “Jews do kind of control the media or, I mean, certainly the Zionists and the people who have the interests in swaying media coverage toward a favorable direction of Israel,” Schiller does not rebut him or stop eating. He just nods his head slightly."

Its true that he didn't trash Jews but he did state his organisation was strongly pro-Palestinian which is unfitting for any mainstream media institution. Whether the video was edited to make him look bad or not, it does seem clear though that Schiller makes very pointed attacks on conservative values and politics. I think this goes to the core of a much broader problem that confronts everybody. Generally speaking, with a few notable exceptions, the media does have a definite left wing or liberal perspective, that is sometimes an agenda with "advocacy journalism" which has become extremely popular. I don't consider myself to be particularly right or left wing so don't have a big ideological axe to grind but it seems to me this bias is profoundly damaging because the media is the primary source of information in society. If there is a particular emphasis in one direction or the other, it will inevitably influence the direction of a given society for the bad (or if for the good then for the wrong reasons). I think an agenda driven news media is extremely undemocratic.

This whole topic is about a cult-like ideology that demonizes respected news services like NPR which your cult deems to be too liberal.

NPR freaks have just admitted on film that they are far left extremists, or in other words I dont need to demonize these pathetic money grubbing lowlifes as theyve successfully demonized themselves

I didnt write "didnt mean to". Try reading what is actually written rather than what your weak mind imagines is written.

Focus if you can, try to concentrate.

What I wrote it that I dont need to demonize them, as theyve demonized themselves. Theyve proven out what has been known by Conservatives all along, but denied by the liars and the idiots on the left every time its been brought up.

Yeah, what you said is the equivalent to "have you stopped beating your wife?".

And when have I ever claimed to be nonpartisan? Fact is, I never have, as I am keenly aware that I am sharply biased towards the correct viewpoint and that I adamantly defend it.

This is Sanity you'r talking to, remember: expecting him to construct an internally consistent argument that works logically is like expecting a quadraplegic to juggle.

Freaks and lowlifes, but of course you don't mean to demonize anyone.

Very "fair and balanced".

Try again, because for that logical fallacy to apply a question had to be asked, and I havent asked a question.

• The American government did something to bring about the terrorist attacks.
• The public doesn't learn anything from the press about that government's mistakes.
• The public is not learning about what's happening in Afghanistan.
• Central Asia's oil reserves are somehow pertinent.
• There are some unspecified links between the Bush and bin Laden families.

quote:

NPR and PBS stations nationwide are rallying their audiences to contact Congress to fight against Republicans’ proposed spending cuts, but some affiliates’ pleas may violate laws preventing nonprofits or government-funded groups from lobbying.

Interrupting popular programs, the stations air warnings that cuts could end beloved children’s television shows such as “Sesame Street.” Some stations urge their audience to call and let Congress know their feelings, while others go further, instructing viewers to “stop the Senate” or “defend federal funding” for public broadcasting.
