Proof of biased media

If anyone needed any further proof that the major media outlets, including ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, etc., are all far-left liberal, then the following should, once and for all, put the issue to bed.

When the war in Iraq was being fought (identified properly as George W. Bush's war), those media would report every single death of our military heroes, over and over, complete with pictures and with added negative comments about President Bush, of course.

Now there is President Barack Obama's war. As I write this, I have just heard (obviously on Fox News) that there have been 31 of our military heroes lost during this month alone.

Has anyone heard much of anything about that from any of the other, aforementioned media?

Republican talking points.

Watch out David Gagnon has pulled out the Republican talking point " biggest boobs in House using Fanny and Freddie as their tool" Fact is in 2006 the Republicans passed a bill that allowed Frannie and Freddy to buy sub-prime mortgages. Without this they could not participate with the bubble that Countrywide started in 2001. The list of responsible parties in long - Greenspan, Rubin (Democrat by the way), Countrywide, Republican Congress, Bush as sole decider, Democrats in Congress who went aong with the Republicans, and then the Banks who invented the securities that almost destroyed the US. Let's not forget, the mortgage originaltors who knowingly wrote fraudulent mortgages, the apprasiers who took bribnes to inflate home values.

I watch Countdown with Keith

I watch Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC. it is funny to see him disprove almost every point made on FixedNews with actual quotes and facts, especially when the quotes come from the person being disproved. The Glenn Beck program, for example, is not even news, but pure opinion. Everyone who disagrees with Mr. Beck is considered to be a Nazi. If I were a Nazi, I would be offended by Mr. Beck's free use of the association.

Voisine means close in French....not sure why he chose that name. Close minded, perhaps? Or Roch Voisine, the Canadian singer....who knows.
Anywho...I think you're right about one thing, joez..there is a third party...maybe even a 4th! The way I see it, left to right....
PROGRESSIVES (aka..koolaid drinking move on types),
DEMOCRATS (lifelong politicians who are so scared of the people, they bribe them with social welfare ),
REPUBLICANS (lifelong politicians who are scared of the people),
CONSTITUTIONAL CONSTRUCTIONISTS (true conservatives who value freedom, liberty, and the Constitution).
I'd prefer to belong to the latter.
And btw, by quoting MSNBC, you are exposing yourself as a member of the first category.

Republicans

I get the news updated from MSNBC and other so called liberal sources due to live RSS feeds from the BBC, MSNBC, NBC, and several others on the deaths of soldiers and the tallies for months, days, and years since we have been engaged in our own American military industrial complex. Currently Conservatives hold the ideals of more Marxists practices while enabling themselves to claim victimization in all of its forms. They are neither Democrats nor Republicans but a third party. Which virtually amends itself that America is in a three party system, we have Republicans, Democrats, and the given dangers of the Marxist philosophies which have swept into Conservatism. So, in Windows Vista I have the assets of viewing MSNBC documented proof and being able to prove on record they do record soldier's deaths. I like how Scotty and his friends like to ply themselves as Republicans when their views feel more or less like the Third Reich in practice and theory.

10 Reasons Why Republicans are Close-Minded

I talked to a Republican who wants to ignore the eight years of Bush and blame Obama for everything. Read the posts of people like "Barb" and you see that's common from that crowd.

I just threw up my hands. I realized it´s hopeless. There will never be any progress in health care or anything except doomsday weapons with people like these around.

You can´t reason with people like this.

Here are 10 reasons why you can´t reason with them.

1. They believe there has never been a Republican wrong about anything. If they are proven wrong in their viewpoint, they´ll deny it. They believe it´s impossible for American policy toward other countries to be wrong, if the policy was enacted by Republicans.

2. Republicans, mostly white men, consider black Americans, Mexican Americans and women to be inferior. They consider them inferior in this order (bottom most inferior):
A. Women (white women).
B. Mexicans.
C. Blacks.
Yet, they need women for purposes of sex, those Republicans who aren´t gay. Also, Republicans don´t mind picking a person of color as a token to dispel the notion that they are racist.

3. Republicans don´t believe in freedom of speech. Anybody who has an opinion they don´t like they heckle or shout down. They don´t believe in the Constitution. Anybody who wants to do something different they call a traitor.

4. The Republican Party, the white man´s party, are champions of the double standard. For example, they constantly brand social programs as socialistic giveaways because the programs help those whom they consider inferior, but they don´t mind spending billions forever nation-building in Iraq, giving money to those they consider inferior (Arabs). As long as it´s a war of conquest or building a colony overseas, it´s not wasteful spending. If it´s here in this country and spent on the poor or immigrants, it´s wasteful spending.

5. A Republican harps on the cost of everything, but knows the value of nothing. An older Republican will call you a subversive if you´re liberal, but doesn´t throw his Social Security check in the trash, a check made possible by liberals. The Republican spends the Social Security check.

6. Republicans love to castigate others for being unpatriotic, yet far fewer Republicans in Congress have served in the military than Democrats. Elected Republican officials love to carp about family values, yet they are at least on par with Democrats when it comes to adultery, gay, rough and group sex, and pursuing under-age boys in the men´s room.

7. Very few Republicans have read a history book. George Bush Senior said Pearl Harbor happened on September 6, 1941, and Ronald Reagan laid a wreath in a German cemetery commemorating victims of the Holocaust only to find out it contained SS members of the Gestapo. He laid the wreath anyway. George Bush Junior compared Iraq with its attack helicopters to American independence in 1776.

8. Republicans not only didn´t learn from Watergate, they actually admired it, and have tirelessly developed secret government ever since, including the art of "Plausible deniability," first coined by Reagan. Republicans fervently believe in secret government.

9. Republicans don´t believe in a two-party system, though it worked fairly well for all its failures and foibles up until the time Republicans began listening to the whacked out psychotic extremists in their party. They make Barry Goldwater look like a Bolshevik.

10. Republicans believe that God is a Republican who looks like John Wayne. This makes reasoning with them very difficult.

great comedy

voisine, this is one of the funniest post yet.

i just need to point out a few problems. you make many "claims" which are you could of used better examples. for example, a better example of showing that republicans think "consider black Americans, Mexican Americans and women to be inferior." a better example would have been how in south carolina they are try to keep the black candidate alvin greene off the ballot. oops, those are the dems.

you claim that the republicans don't believe in freedom of speech. a good example would have been how they want to pass the fairness doctrine. oops, i'm sorry those are the dems again.

you said republicans "constantly brand social programs as socialistic giveaways". again a better example would have been when president obama said that he believed in spreading the wealth. oops, that was a dem who said they believed is socialism.

you claim republican don't serve in the military. again a better example would have been clinton and obama. sorry, their dems also. okay, here is a better example, richard blumenthal who said he served in vietnam but never set foot in the country. oh, he's a dem also.

you "claim" republicans are not very smart. you missed some really good examples. how about when bush said, he had visited 57 states. oops that was obama. how about when cheney said that "jobs" was a three letter word or when he said the president roosevelt when on tv in 1929 after the market crash. oh, wait that was biden. okay, here is one, when cheney asked a man in a wheel chair to stand up. no, that was biden also.

you "claim" republicans don't believe in a two party system. your right, harry reid was pretty up set when they could get something pasted this week. oops, it appears that reid a dem doesn't like it when a second party stops something.

wow a lot of the things you "claim" are republican really seem to belong in the dem column.

i have to at least give you a "B" for comedy material.

Top ten reasons why your ten reasons blow.....

1. B.S.......G.W. wasn't perfect...and neither is your man. Get over yourself.

2. Guess you haven't heard your liberal buddies lately. Penn state Rep Paul Kanjorski groups minorities with "Defective People". Harry Reid and his "Negro Dialect" comment. Biden and 7-11? And who served in the Klan? I'll bet a little Byrdie can tell ya. Oh, Wait, did I mention that the Republicans were formed by abolitionists prior to the Civil War?

3. Heckling is a form of freedom of speech. Don't like it, then shut up (oops didn't mean to step on your rights)

4. Um, Call your prez, cause he's supposed to get us out of this mess that Bush started. But in the mean time, I'd rather see my cashola go to people who work and don't sit around eating chocolate covered Doritos all day. Know where I can find a "CLOSE GITMO NOW" t-shirt so I pick up where you guys left off?

5. if you put in to SS, you get a check when you retire at age 85.....fair enough isn't it? Otherwise, don't take it out of my paycheck.

6. Did any Republicans violate the Ovarian office with a Ceeeee-gar? Didn't think so. I'm sure Edwards or Gore would have restored honor to the office....NOT. But I'm sure Mary Jo and Teddy have mad amends in the after life. "Hello, Mary Jo, Collect call from a Ted in Hell, will you accept?"

7. You spew this crud with Joe Biden on your team, then I must applaud you. Now stand up (if you can) and accept your due applause. P.S., we need to add two more stars to our flag if you know what I mean....

8. Huh? Barry promised you transparency like saran wrap, you got tin foil.

9. Yup, I hear the Dems screaming "we have too many Democrats, we should let the Republicans steam roll us in November so they can have the house and or senate"....Unfortunatey for them, they know it's coming.

10. Democrats believe that Obama is God, however, walking on water is tricky these days...especially when all that oil makes things a lil' slippery.

So see, nobody is perfect....we all know the level of scrutiny is higher for Republicans then Democrats, other wise the war, the oil spill, the racist comments would be front and center for every main stream news organization.

Anti-logic, It's the Republican Brand!

It's sad that you throw a term like "surrender monkey" around. It was this group of thinking individuals who warned that America would only stand to loose the blood of its brave soldiers and treasure thanks to Bush war for oil based on lies in Iraq. If you bothered to read the article in Rolling Stone about Afghanistan, you would grasp (if you can muster that much objectivity, when in point of fact you probably only allow yourself to "believe" the right wing talking points of chicken hawks like Dick "Six Deferment" Cheney), then you would realize that Afghanistan isn't "winnable." It never was. The idea was to go after al-Quaida, which isn't in Afghanistan any longer, it is in Pakistan. Or didn't you know that? Life is a bit more complex than your trite, anti-rational, Brave chicken hawk Republican worldview, SRV. It's sad that there are people like you who are so supremely incapable of rational analysis that you only reduce everything into black-and-white. Did you know that Afghanistan was an ally of the U.S. prior to the Soviet invasion? Did you know that the Taliban rose to power only after Bush the first turned his back on providing them economic aid in the wake of the Soviets leaving? So that's another example of how narrow Republican thinking about "no new taxes" translates into a long-term disaster. Save foreign aid now, seed a war later. That's the Republican way and it's all you represent with your "surrender monkey" comment. You've just branded yourself the intellectual equivalent of a money, SAV. Are you happy with yourself, wingnut? The problem with America amounts to one word: Republican.

ralphieiella's picture

Well said over their head

Your comments were well stated. However: how do you expect these Republicans to understand your article if they believe Bush was good. Cheney was good, Glenn Beck and Limbaugh are intellects how about Tom Delay, Larry Craige, Blagovich.

The right wingnuts won't be happy until we have a dictatorship under Dick Cheney. I guess Fox "Republican" News and right wing talk radio aren't "biased." Of course not, for anti-rational right wingnuts, there is no such thing as objective reality. There is only the collective, brave Republican fantasies that reach into the psyches of people who couldn't care less about analysis and objectivity. They merely want their own narrow beliefs and irrational fears confirmed, whether that's true of not. The definition of insanity is if you're starting to think that the world is completely against you, but you know you're right and can't figure out why everyone else is wrong, then you might be both a Republican and insane.

Yes,during Bushes eight years he had the responsibility of everything that happened under his watch but to blame everything on Bush now (almost two years later )is absurd. How long will it be before the chosen one takes responsibility for anything? Oblameya made this his war and he has lost respect from those who serve him. He has a smug arrogant demeanor which diminishes his role as a leader. Gee,you have to go way back to the election to explain Obama's foreign policy stance and his surge into Pakistan? How long did it take him to send additional troops ? His indecisiveness is showing. I guess his strategy or lack thereof is not working as planned. I will at least end on a positive note. In an article published by Coleen Turner (Huffington Post (a liberal rag) states what the lame stream media is failing to report in Afghanistan. It tells of some of the positives happening in Afghanistan,if you care to read it. So even Afghanistan is a disaster and filled with chaotic violence some good has come of it no matter how small. I still think Obama is a failure ,but if he is responsible for some the positives I will give the man credit.

There has also been a very public discussion of strategy, how many troops to put in etc. Obama inherited this war, a war which started with across the board bi-partisan support. He did not start it, he is only trying to win it. Of course it would have been won years ago if Shrub had not distracted our effort in Afghanistan with the elective war in Iraq

None of stimulus made it to the private sector to stimulate job growth. Oh Maine got its share and used it all to save the public sector and to hell with the private sector. Then they tried to pass off construction jobs already signed to contract as stimulus created jobs. You know like the repaving of the north bound lanes of 295.

Have we heard any positive stories about the good that has been accomplished in Afganistan so far? Obama declared that this war is necessary,it is his war, but the man does not know how to fight it. The ecomomy,the oil spill, the war, the Blago trial, and the obscene spending is the proof that Obama has lost control and the country is on a downward sprial.

I too read and heard this reported all over the place, but I guess if you only listen to FraudNews you might miss it on CBS, MSNBC, CNN and all the other places its been reported.

Me I just listen to Glenn Beck HE KNOWS

NO need for any other news this man Glenn is brilliant now that he has everything figured out. I think god enlightened him. I like Rush too BECK RUSH 2012 Palin Too she keeps eye on Russians can kick that thing Obama talked about last week if needed. We could even put Johhny McCain
in charge of Sarah and war. I miss Bush he was most funny man just like Reagan both wore cowboy hats and were actors. Too bad their real life stories were so disastrous especially for us.

Where, exactly, do you find

Where, exactly, do you find conservative bias in the media, jalb? I'm not talking about talk radio here. I'm talking about TV, Internet, and newspapers. Where, exactly, is the CONSERVATIVe bias?

They spin it so much you can

They spin it so much you can barely figure out what it is they're trying to convey.

In fact I have heard it

In fact I have heard it quoted as the deadliest month of the Afghan War in numerous sources. Not a big watcher of TV news, so I can't say there, but across the spectrum of the print media this fact has been widely reported. It takes an almost delusional fixation on your preconceptions to claim the media has been giving Obama a pass on the Afghan War (and an almost complete reliance on Fox propaganda to believe that Obama started the Afghan War)

Since you only watch FOX News?

you wouldn't have heard it on the other networks. Well take it from me, Mr. Morin, the other networks not only report the casualties, they reported how intense the fighting is in Afghanistan and how badly the war is going. So get off your bias network and look around, you'd be surprise how all the networks are balanced, even more than FOX News?

Exactly, what networks where

Exactly, what networks where those? Animal Planet and the Food Channel don't count as viable news sources.

those don't but NBC News does,

and they report on the war frequently, having a news reporter, Richard Engel, who is actually IN Afghanistan and reports from there several times a week, on the progress of the war and other human interest stories. Exactly who does FOX News? have there? No one, everyone there is a non military man or, as in the case of Ollie North, a convicted felon coward.

Right on

Republicans make good war cheerleaders but they are dangerous with weapons remember CHENEY anyone. Imagine if Bush ever played with a real gun. Those pistols Reagan had were not real either by they way and your other brother Nixon would have been quite a war hero I am sure if he was not busy being a cheerleader like the rest of them. Limbaugh would have joined but he was busy raising a child bride. Glenn Beck was sobering up or he would have served.

If that's true, why isn't he

If that's true, why isn't he in jail. And, you named only one. You don't like FOX, because you have a tough time handling the truth at times. What's the big deal? I could care less.

fox news actually has been in

fox news actually has been in the hot seat many a times-due to fibbing. i just think this goes to show from all news reporting shows/papers/sites, etc. we really don't know what is the TRUTH.
