Obama to be on Olbermann at 8pm tonight to address the Rev. Wright issue

Here's a seed for your research Grasshopper......This talks to network media bias, but the same bias exists for cable news, even at a much higher level.

Fox is the most balanced cable network with no "horse in the race" such as MSNBC and CNN.....

You do your own research.

Well, finally this charlatan is being scrutinized! If anyone covers this story fairly it'll be FOX news.

MSNBC and CNN have long had a man crush on Obama.

They're so biased in his favor it should be a crime!

Really

Something you'd care to substantiate no doubt?

Nah - probably not.

The proof's there if you care to find the truth....probably not!

Here, I'll help you out. Just recently there was a media watchgroup, can't remember what they are clled, but comprised of media people themselves that evaluate the truthfulness, and bias of the news, and they specifically chimed in on the coverage of the candidates by cable news operators.

Fox was number one in fairness and unbiased coverage. CNN number two, and MSNBC number three.

If you wish to spend your Saturday afternoon to research this then go for it.

Truthiness eh?

I think we're all a bit old for "Once upon a time..." stories.

Its just amazing to me that you trot out these statements but you personally don't offer anything to back them up - even *if* it were true.

Basically what you offer comes down to: "Well there was this guy once, on this thing on TV who said some stuff about some people".

LOL...I rarely if ever don't supply a reference......Like I said, you waste your time this afternoon researching this, if of course the truth matters to you, which we've learned oftentimes doesn't.

Enjoy.

I think we've also learned that (once again), the manure salesman is loathe to stand behind his own product.

Nope, all this demonstrates is that the town idjit stoops to personal attacks to delude himself that he's somehow come out on top of an argument.....

Here's a novel idea for you Number, disprove what I said, unless of course you're calling me a liar. Are you calling me a liar, Number?

Are you saying that I'm a liar? I want to get this straight, Number....

Please elaborate.

What argument is this exactly - The repeated assertion on your part that Fox News is a reliable and trustworthy news source? Put it this way... I'm sure you believe it.

I did do my own research. Here's a couple of counterpoints for you.

Media Hold McCain, Obama to Different Standards

ABC repeatedly noted controversial comments by Obama's "allies," but has yet to report comments by McCain endorsers

I'd also take a look at journalism.org. Their week by week analysis of news content covering the election is quite interesting.

journalism.org? It's a well known fact that journalism is communist.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

That's true. We should do away with journalists and journalism - and replace it with wall-to-wall punditry.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Yeah. O'Reilly FTW!

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

That's actually the problem with the networks - they blur the line between editorial and traditional journalistic reporting.

Quibbling over the ideological bent of the news is a bit silly when the majority of corporate news coverage is simply #######.

And owned by the extremely wealthy. Who here can understand that in order to be in that top club in this country you cannot have dissenting viewpoints to those that dictate the flow of information in the nation?

Corporatisation of the media also reduces the diversity of the output - with content dictated by executive mandate.

The idea that Fox News is balanced relies on this idea that the media must always reflect two polarised ideological positions that are related to party politics - and is separate from considerations of journalistic or editorial "quality". Balance - such as its been presented is little more than a caricature.

I just cant vote for Obama or Hillary. I think they are all crooked. What has Obama accomplished? Besiedes the "Yes, we can" adlib.

Nader 2008 it is. I am saddend that Edwards had to drop out.
