Hannity berates Mic e Obama, but nobody can touch Bristol

My point is the "right" complains about the news but wins elections. Cable news is supposed to be about ratings, so if the "right" is popular enough to win elections shouldn't the Liberal media slant toward their view in order to get higher ratings? It's all so confusing

I also remeber Bill Clinton having a huge issue with the media, but don't recall him calling them liberal.......Still very confused.

The media if first and foremost about sensationalism and selling their works. However, when they become involved in political issues, the bias becomes clear. There are some issues they simply cannot ignore from their favored party.

Think about it. The media in general will jump on any story badmouthing a republican without verifying the truth. They word the story carefully so that they are not making up facts. They have "unnamed sources" or put the facts in certain order often leaving the important ones near the end of a long story, past the point the reader continues to read. When it comes to democrats. They refuse to print degrading stories until the truth is undeniable.

How many stories about republicans later have retractions?

How many stories about democrats later have retractions?

Keep a tally sometime.

hink about it. The media in general will jump on any story badmouthing a republican without verifying the truth.

Ayers and Pastor Wright remind sound familiar to you? and...why isn't the 'big, bad liberal media' talking about Palin's connections to a fringe Alaska independence group who's leader once publicly 'damned America'? hmmm....how many KOS writers have their own shows on CNN..aka.....Joe Scarbrough and Glenn Beck again? If news shows aren't to the right of Pat Buchanan, wing-nuts get their panties in a wad....

On this liberal media bias, I just saw on Fox News that they are now reporting on Palin's support of the bridge to nowhere in the beginning (220 million that they kept for road projects after the tide turned on the project) and, OMG, that she included many earmarks for her town and hired lobbyists to get them in washington from a committee that Ted Stevens chaired. Hmmm even fox is liberal now. Is there nowhere the right can turn in these horrible times.

I think the point is sometimes you're on the right side of the story, and sometimes you're not, but the Media is there to piss off the establishment from both sides and keep them honest. I don't think they do the best job but when someone is mad, they are doing something.

Thing is Dan, they didn't touch the subject until they couldn't deny it any longer. Stpries in conservative talk radio must have been going on for at least six weeks before CNN and others addressed it. Then when they did, they took the quotes from Wright that were less damning, not playing ther real bad stuff. Same basic thing with Ayers. They didn't cover the really bad stuff, and they downplayed the connections.
