WSJ-c-span--a Prof from CA is explaning his study of media bias.

They told the truth ... once?

saw this. but this can not be!

Why does C-Span even have this fucker on?

How far right do you have to be?

SHAME on C-SPAN! This makes them look VERY bad.

to take this crap seriously.

"Liberal Media" my ass.

I wonder how long it took them to find this guy? C-SPAN, through my eyes, is losing credibility. 18 out of 20 media outlets are Left of Center? What outlets did he study? I call BULLSHIT where I see BULLSHIT. Anyone with a brain knows the Corporate owned media are RW shills.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

"All of the news outlets except Fox News’ Special Report and the Washington Times received a score to the left of the average member of Congress."

Notice how the 'study' is compared to the "average member of Congress." Gee, just because Congress is filled with a bunch of fascists, that makes the media libera. What CRAP!!!!!

Is that what he said? Did I hear that right?

haha they dont like being called out, Susan said this morning to a caller that they (cspan) disagree. http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2764

so Bush could STEAL a fucking election and he says they're LEFT OF CENTER? Fuck this dude...fuck C-SPAN. Fuck Brian Lamb.

Here's his CV:

For those poli sci types here who know the field.

Author of "They Think You're Stupid: Why Democrats Lost Your Vote and what Republicans Must do to Keep It."


Yeah, no bias there.


Oh, Cain ran for U.S. Senate in Georgia in 1996.

brought this RW shill on?

NO.

Herman Cain is the host of the nationally syndicated radio talk-show Herman Cain with The Bottom Line. The show is designed to inform voters of the facts and challenge the rhetoric on the big economic issues of the day.

Cain launched the "New Voters' Alliance," a vocal and persistent organization that works to influence public policy and inspire voters to become involved in legislative decisions. He has also created the "New Voice Foundation," which educates voters on issues of economic importance.

Herman Cain ran in the 2004 Republican primary for the U.S. Senate in Georgia. He surprised political analysts by finishing a close second in the three-way race, even though it was his first attempt for public office. His success in attracting a broad new audience of voters inspired him to write this book.

He has also served as senior advisor to the 1996 Dole/Kemp Presidential campaign and was appointed to serve on the 1995 Economic Growth and Tax Reform Commission.

Herman Cain is a successful businessman, best known for the dramatic turnaround of Godfather's Pizza under his leadership while President and Chairman. He has also served as CEO and President of the National Restaurant Association and as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. Cain is an accomplished and popular speaker, and has authored four books on topics ranging from leadership to politics.

out in the fringes. simple as that.

Once again, this conversation is constricted by a right-wing definition of "liberal" and "conservative."

For anti-democratic "conservatives," the notion of democracy itself is "liberal." The Heritage Foundation should be defined as "fascist." By labeling them "conservative," the traditional meanings of words are no longer functional.

Many people get their "news" locally. I would bet that he would not do that because his "cause" would lose.

It only went to how often a "left leaning" or "right leaning" issue or person is mentioned.

Ergo, when Pat Buchanan rails on and on about Bill Clinton's penis, this demonstrates left leaning bias via this guy's methodology.

that it's clear off his charts!

John Snow on with nobody knowledgeable in economics to rebut his propaganda. And, a bufoon who couches a patently biased study on bias (go figure) that is obviously in error with no rebuttal.

This is why F.A.I.R. thinks you guys have moved to the right and the reason you folks at CSPAN disagree is because you just don't see how ridiculously right leaning such a guest really is.

The ACLU is conservative???
doesn't pass the milk-out-the-nose-test.

The debunking by Media Matters appears far more scholarly than the "study".

and that means serving the express interests of the Corporation.
The aim, therefore, is to stifle the discussion and silence the adversaries, an aim that is much more ideological than you would care to think. It also explains perfectly, for example, why the whole of the press often say the same things. The rule is that the people controlling the media have to be totally reliable: they don’t even have to be told what to say. They already know it by heart. They have already internalised the rules of the game. Being reliable is something that requires lengthy training and considerable single-mindedness. On every level of the information hierarchy you have to prove that you have a total disregard for the truth, a complete readiness to deceive and an absolutely impenetrable cynicism. This, as a rule, is the only way of getting up to the next level.
