After viewing an article on examiner.com that asks the question about the current existance of the “liberal media bias”…. I thought I would share a few thoughts on this.
Not long ago (10 or 15 years ago) the big buzz on talk radio was how unfair and completely bias the media was - to the left. In fact it’s only in recent years that this proclamation has died down. But I would say the notion of only 1 side being represented on a given subject - has changed dramatically… and is worth noting.
The way news is being covered these days has changed dramatically and I think reporters of all view points are now being represented quite well. This has been a long time coming. This may come as a bit of a shock to those from a conservative viewpoint, as we’ve thought of ourselves for so long as the “unheard” voice in the wilderness.
So I say let’s keep score...

Thank you for posting something that someone might actually learn something from.
PMSNBC has some of the biggest moonbattery there is. How could you possibly conclude they are split? CNN is more sane than they are.
For some reason this reminds me of the "Blues Brothers" scene where the woman says (paraphrasing) "We play both kinds of music : country and western."
I suppose in your mind the MSM are giving all points of view. From the extreme left-wing to the left-of-center point.
Does the phrase "We all work for the President now. " "He's every inch a president" and the fact that ABC can't give less than an "A" for any speech he does really sound "un-biased" to you?
What a crock, looks like a Fairness Doctrine supporter. That or an ACORN Operative looking to expand the ranks.
What a steaming turdpile.
Conservative talk radio does not hide the fact that it is opinion.
See the difference? I didn't think so.
Not even close, although, as more newspapers and prime time propagand . . . . . er, NEWS shows find their subscribers.viewers in decline and their revenues down sharply, there is hope. But, contrary to the laws of physics, the greater the decline, the more leftists bias displayed by the news media. They don't seem to get it - and neither do I.
You have GOT to be freakin kidding!
Love the password today. Strange posting history to say the least.
OH YEA!!!
No. Not even close. Not dead, not even ill.
Here are some signs that the media bias is beginning to end. These are obvious to us, but the media either ignores these or lies. When you see these happening with some frequency, then rewrite your article:
1. Questions about Obama's qualifications (finance, military, diplomacy, etc)
2. Christians actually do good things for society
3. Muslim acts of terrorism are done by muslims
4. The Constitution limits government power. It is not an impediment to freedom.
5. Gun ownership is a right, and where that right is respected, violence is minimal.
6. Marriage is a religious sacrament, not a "right"
7. Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh are talented individuals and are not evil
8. Most scientists actually think human-induced global warming is a hoax
9. A fetus is a person by any medical definition.
My posted reply:
Split- some of each
MSNBC
That invalidates the entire thing. You cannot get more left than PMSNBC. The nearest to a right oriented commentator they have is Joe the RINO.
Blog Pimp
You have to be a total idiot to believe this when your news is being presented by a group of people who are 95% to 96% democrats (depending on the study). But hey propaganda is presentented fairly to those who are democrats or leftist as long as it is their point of view.
So I say let’s keep score...Nah. Zotting you will be more fun, ya moonbat.
5.... 4.... 3.... 2 .... 1....
ZOT!!
You mean less biased.
It certainly is not "balanced"
