From: Lighter CNN covered it, if somewhat light-heartedly: http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/bestoftv/2011/09/19/mxp-westhoven-occupywallstreet.hln Fox News gave blog coverage only: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/09/17/demonstrators-occupy-wall-street-to-protest-influence-money-on-us-politics/ Both outlets mentioned the phrase "Arab Spring." |

22 Sep 11 - 03:25 PM (#3227302) Subject: RE: BS: Media Bias. How's That, Again? From: Bobert This has been one of my pet peeves going back for years now... The Republican dominated Federal Communication Commission has been changing the rules over the last 30 years and what we have is a lot of media consolidation and these outlets are now 100% corporate and are doing the bidding of the corporations... So, what we are getting is corporate (primarily Republican) propaganda... Ask yourselves how many times Big Media has gone to a "liberal" for a comment??? When was the last time that Dennis Kucinich was on ABC, CBS or NBC??? Bernie Sanders... Sherrod Brown??? Face it, liberals have been and continue to be blackballed from Big Media... But the right will continue with their "liberal media" mantra, not because there is any truth it it, but because it does work in keeping Big Media afraid of them... B~ |

22 Sep 11 - 05:38 PM (#3227362) Subject: RE: BS: Media Bias. How's That, Again? From: gnu John Stewart for pres and Colbert for VP with the likes of Bill Maher for secretary positions. It would be a hoot and probably far more sane governorship than has been seen in a long while. I'd say Maher for pres but he'd get killed after the first sitting. he almost did the last time he "spoke up" and told the "unspeakable truth." |

From: Rapparee People don't want to be informed; they only want the illusion of being informed. --Roger Ailes (Chairman of Fox News, former executive producer of Rush Limbaugh's TV talk show, one-time imagemaker and political consultant to Reagan, Bush, Nixon and Rudy Giuliani) in "New York" magazine, 1997. In America there is not one single element of civilization that is not made to depend, in the end, upon public opinion. --Henry Ward Beecher, "Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit". |

From: Lighter Hitler allegedly said, "To win the sympathy of the broad masses, you must tell them the crudest and most stupid things." Truth or falsity would seem not to matter, as long as you keep it crude and stupid. For related fun, see my 7:23 post to the "Class Warfare" thread. |

23 Sep 11 - 03:19 AM (#3227555) Subject: RE: BS: Media Bias. How's That, Again? From: GUEST,Ebbie For the first time in several years I have television. I'm watching a lot of interviews and quite a bit of the US Congress and US Senate. I listened to Dennis Kucinich this morning- I had heard him only in snatches of time before and had thought him fairly lifeless in his speech. This morning I found him forthright and punching in his views. Yesterday I was very taken by the views of Alcee Hastings, US Representative from Florida. Wow. I'm going to keep an eye out for him. |
