Re: drudge is a right wing joke....

All news outlets have a slant whether it's CNN, CBS, NBC, PMSNBC or Faux.

Their job is to get ratings and you don't get ratings delivering straight news.

There is no such thing as an unbiased media source whether it's newspaper, radio or television. And there is no doubt that the vast majority of media (TV and newspaper) outlets are liberal leaning (or more often falling over) and vast majority of talk radio outlets are neo-con. Anyone who can't see these simple truths is an idiot.

No arguments here.

I tend to find Fox News more vile than the liberal news outlets, even though I'm a centrists with a slight conservative lean.

Speaking of which, has anyone noticed how the sub for Wolf on the situation room (this week) will argue with people she's interviewing if they even suggest a short-coming of Hilary? Her producer actually cut her off yesterday afternoon.. pretty funny.

I don't. Hosts like Chris Matthews are everywhere.

People just naturally see what they want. They don't see bias when they agree with what is being said. So leftists will see Fox as a plethora of right wing nut jobs, while conservatives will see old media, CNN and PMSNBC as a bunch of socialist propagandists.

Given CNN's ratings, I don't think anyone noticed.

If you're counting the "shows" that are either liberal or conservative you might have an argument against what I said but if you count the stations and which of those shows are broadcast then there's a clear majority.

But it doesn't matter, you can't disprove the facts so you have to raise doubt and distractions. I'll give you credit for following the playbook or some book.

There is no conservative majority in media other than talk radio. Newspapers and television are dominated by the left. Even Helen Keller can see that. Anyone who doesn't is dillusional.

As for facts, you haven't shown any, rather just ranting conjecture. Reality is quite different. Just look at who newspapers endorse.

Talk radio is media, media doesn't revolve around the 3 major cable tv news outlets. Every company offering information to the public is media. And the majority of those companies are right leaning. I don't care who the person writing the feel good story of the week sides with because people know who publishes the stories and they ultimately control the content that the public sees and what you don't see can be far more influential than anything leaning left or right.

Huh?

"Talk" radio is entertainment, not news media. Limbag doesn't pretend to be unbiased. Hannity doesn't hide his bias. Air Amerika doesn't pretend to be unbiased. Old media news, the AP and The New York Times are supposed hard news outlets and are anything but.

We're talking outlets pretending to be unbiased when they clearly aren't. Fox pretends as does ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, PMSNBC, PBS and virtually every major newspaper in the country.

If you can't tell the difference between a hard news outlet and an entertainment show, there is no point in disussing this any furTHer.

So by your rationalization there are no "true" sources of... well whatever you're trying to argue in favor of.

So because they don't hide they're bias they don't count? I think that's what you're trying to say anyway.

That's exactly what I'm saying. Entertainment shows aren't news. They're commentary.

It's the difference between what is supposed to be FACTS on the front page of a newspaper and OPINION on the editorial page of the newspaper. Outlets like the NY Times are one giant editorial page for the left.

And yes, there is no such thing as an unbiased news outlet. They are all whores to their political affiliation and in old media, CNN, PMSNBC, they're lapdogs of MoveOn and Faux the lapdogs of the religious wackos.

Faux gets the insanely high ratings not because they're so awesome. It's simply because they're the only right wing wacko news channel on TV while CNN, PMSNBC and the networks split the pinko commie viewership.

Morbo won't be able to see... the only true unbiased website, in morbo's opinion will be MoveOn.org.
