Oh No They Didn't!

Is anyone on the board defending MSNBC here? I'm pretty sure everyone agrees that misrepresenting the truth is reprehensible, especially from the media.

Defending? No. Minimizing? Yes.

MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN have been practicing this partisan editing for over 8 years now. This is just the most glaring example to come along in a while.

LnGrrrR, the left wing media has a narrative and an agenda to follow; to advance left wing political agenda.

So we can assume that you are against any station cropping pictures and using quotes out of context?

Wow I just re read this and realized you just made all of this up..nice job yoni.

Look, enough with the political debate about whether MSNBC is twisting the news. It doesn't matter. We real Americans have the vast majority of the civilian weapons in the country, and when push comes to shove, most of the rank-and-file in the military will line up behind us.

I am more than willing to shoot first.

It's not like we have to kill millions of people. Kill a few hundred, maybe a thousand, and liberals will get the message and cower before us just like they do to Muslims. We can get rid of this putrid democracy once and for all and rule the country the way it deserves to be ruled.

Do you think Fox doesn't do the same thing? All big media run by corps does, in order to appease their corporate overlords.

Fox News is the conservative news channel and yoni doesn't carethat they do it. That is a classic example of a hyopcrite.

So, there's one right-leaning network and five left-leaning networks?


Sounds fair.

Never said it was fair.It's not right for any new agency to purposely mislead it's viewers.

Fox doesn't have a problem with it. They get a complete monopoly over the side of the market that wants their news right-leaning while the other 5 networks have to fight over what's left. That's why Fox continues to just crush everyone else when it comes to ratings.

[Extra Stout]

Overtly lying is certainly a problem, which MSNBC did in this case, but I don't know why having ideologically biased television news is supposed to be a bad thing. Objectivity is a myth, and the pretense of objectivity is simply a means of manipulation. Just openly accept that Fox News is the right-wing network, CNN/ABC/CBS are vaguely center-left, and MSNBC is left-wing.

In Britain, among newspapers, you read the Times if you are a wealthy businessperson, the Telegraph if you are a Tory, the Independent if you are a Liberal Democrat, the Guardian if you are a Labourite, and the Mirror, Star or Sun if you are an idiot. Nobody complains; that is just the way it is.

Yet they do it on a regular basis, and that's the news most people trust.

Do you think if the media treated republicans and democrats the same, that we would have democrat majorities? I don't. The majority of reporters are liberal. I have a real hard time calling them journalist. Very few fit that category any more. Most of them just report biased propaganda.

Isn't it obvious? At least I do.

That depends on what you mean. Yes, Fox obviously leans to the right. However, I cannot think of an example that they have to misrepresent the truth. There are plenty of pathetic things happening from the left. There is no need to lie about what's happening.

Exactlly, That's the motto of the whole Obama pesona and it's exactly what LnnGrr and juanito are doing it's what the networks have been doing for a year. they minimized Jeramiah Wright a lunatic racist and anti semite, They minimized Bill ayers a domestic terrorist, they minimized Sotomayor's racist and sexist rants.Leftists like LnnGrr and juanito take their lead from the media that manufactures consent among the sleep walkers, they manufacture what is outrageous, and what is minimal, but the times they are a changing, and the people are starting to tune out these news outlets, major papers are on the ropes, and the people are finding their own outrage, and this lie and it's racist nature is especially deserving of our contempt and outrage.

[Yonivore]

Do you think Fox doesn't do the same thing?

No, I don't. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so distinctly different than the networks that do.
