A question about the liberal media:
If there's really a liberal media bias, why don't the wingers try to get the fairness doctirine reinstated? :think:

2. Excellent question!
I still hear that "liberal" media crap, but now I can fight back--I read "Teh Republican Noise Machine" and "What Liberal Media?".

4. If you are concerned about the media, I strongly recommend both.
We are up against a well-financed, well-organized, and TAX-EXEMPT opponent.

5. Thanks for the tip. I'll check them out.
I'm pretty new to all this stuff. I always thought Al Franken was funny, but I never really paid attention to politics until just the last few months of the election. Now that I'm seeing all of this, I'm seriously rethinking my college major.

6. They dont because there is not Liberal bias, it is propaganda,all you have
to do is listen to the media, Bu$h can do no wrong, if you looked at the news of other countries it is clear that the Reich Wing is in total control of our media

but you wont do that if you are biased.. it will pop your bubble

the AP press is trying to get some real information thru, but it is a battle

go to http://fallujapictures.blogspot.com

http://www.thenausea.com/usa-iraq.html

http://www.epinet.org/content.cfm/briefingpapers_bp147 and my family has had 3 GOOD jobs outsourced in 3 years, we lost our home and we are going to lose another job to Mexico in a couple of months and 20,000,000 Mexicans do take American jobs...10% of the population of the poorest of Mexico has migrated to the USA, Mexico is exporting it poverty to the united states from a country where the standard of living is the 8th highest in the world, higher than France...we are just making their rich richer

cant you see there is no information out of Iraq except "they killed us again and we will get them for it"

they cover up the real problems like Bu$h is going to give illegal aliens SIS for working a day.. for the rest of their lives.. and he is trying to fix ssi.???? he is trying to destroy it to make us slaves working for the Corporations as slaves till we drop dead
of old age.. while the elite party it up.. about 87% of the wealth is owned by Less than 2% of the population.. and all Bu$h does is cut their taxes and use the SSI funds to subsidize the loss..to kill the program, we got $130 tax cut but the tax base loss raised our property taxes 40%, we lost 4 jobs, the schools are running 4 days week, hospitals are closing, insurance is going up.. and he starts a war based on lies. fallujah resulted in 98,000 death of civilians, mostly women and children.. it isn't the Fucking liberals covering that up!!!!!!!!!

WAKE UP

7. That's an excellent argument
Of course, the right-wingers are not too swift on logic.

8. right-wingers should demand "quotas"
...for conservative journalists to address decades of perceived liberal media bias.

10. I can't believe how stupid this is getting
The only place to get liberal reporting is on the internet. Even there I would argue that its actual news being reported on, only by liberal people...

Today my parents were watching tv, and the reporter was saying how good things were going in Iraq, at the same time the crawl was reporting about the 700 election officials in mosul who all resigned because of death threats. Maybe the crawl is the liberal media bias they're refering to?

Ask a Freeptard, they know everything about the Liberal bias as told by Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, Weiner, FOX...
