Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet.... From: beardedbruce Date: 15 Mar 05 - 11:00 PM Bobert, You seem to be missing the point. I have never said that any single media source is liberal, per se- I *have* stated that all the studies I have seen the last 15 years or so show an *overall* bias among the print and TV media towards a liberal viewpoint. You have yet to demonstrate that those studies are flawed, nor have you presented *any* studies which contradict them. You are the one who seems insist on denying the facts. How about coming back with *one* example of the anti-war side asking Saddam to comply with the UN? |

Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet.... From: beardedbruce Date: 15 Mar 05 - 11:10 PM "anti-war".... IMO, those making the most noise about the Iraq war have done the most to encourage it. Juat my opinion, which I guess I am not entitled to unless it agrees with Bobert.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet.... From: Bobert Date: 15 Mar 05 - 11:25 PM Thanks fir not screaming. It's real irritatin'... I gave you a homework project that will illustrate my point, bb... Now, since it is your *proclaimation" that the media is "liberal", not mine, how about doing the assigment. Leave yer little Bushite brainwasher's srudies alone long enough to step into the real world... Yeah, yer purdy good at pudders so it shouldn't hurt yer head too much to pull up the headlines from the dreaded "liberal* rag from September until the invasion of Iraq and print them all up here in Mudville and just let people decide for themselves, without the Heritage Council's of the world tellin' us what to think... Yeah, lookin' forward to the results of yer little homework assignment, bb... Maybe it will be the first step toward you examinin' just how you got the way you are... And *please8 spare me the crap about our side not being the ones listening. Your guy has the microphone, tha media and so that's about all we hear. And it's 24/7... No don't believe me. Go turn on you radio... If there are 50 stations talkin' right now about politics then I'll guarentee you that all 50 of 'um will be having a conversation about an agenda that Karl Rove has chosen, not the left!!! Guarenteed... Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet.... From: DougR Date: 16 Mar 05 - 12:42 AM Some folks seem to think that in order for there to be legitimate news, the reporting must reflect the views they favor. Single sided view, so to speak. We had that for many years with the mainstream media. Fox News came on the scene, and the opposite view is presented. No fair, scream the folks who view the world in liberal terms. It's a no win situation isn't it? DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet.... From: beardedbruce Date: 16 Mar 05 - 03:36 AM Bobert, "I gave you a homework project that will illustrate my point, bb..." And I had previously asked questions that you *still* have made no attempt to answer. I do not see that you have any qualifications to teach me much besides closed-mindedness, nor have I asked for your instruction. Have a nice day. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet.... From: Bobert Date: 16 Mar 05 - 07:39 AM Just as I thought... bb wants me to read a bunch of his right winged links, as if we on the other side don't get enough of it allready since it blares out opf danged near anything that plugs into a wall... And as per usual, my ol' pal Dougie, doesn't think there is any reason why occasionally we cant't have afiscusssion about stuff that matters to folks over here on the pro-human, pro-earth side of the equation (which of course it isn't, equation that is...) Nither of them would get it if they lived to be a 1000 years old... Must be nice to be so barinwashed that you don't, ahhhh, actual;ly have to think... Questioner: "Mr. President, the economy is tanking, What are you gonna do?" Bush; "Cut taxes." Questioner: "Mr. President, what are you gonna do to fix Social Security?" Bush: "Cut taxes." Questioner: "Mr. President, what about the presence of Syria in Lebanon?" Bush: "Cut taxes and blow the bastards up." See, ain't much there to have to remember. Leaves lors of space for other imporatant things like what color yer next SUV will be..... Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet.... From: Susu's Hubby Date: 16 Mar 05 - 07:51 AM BB, Give it up...Bobert is really a closet Bush supporter. I think Bobert is really Karl Rove just posting really unbelievable crap just to get the rest of the dems thinking that he really knows something.....think about it.......can ANYBODY really be that misled? Let all the dems follow Bobert's way of thinking.......we'll be assured of a republican administration for the next twelve to fifteen years and we'll have less taxes and more security for a long time to come.... Keep on preachin' bro. Bobert! Hubby |

Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet.... From: Don Firth Date: 16 Mar 05 - 01:29 PM Jeez!! If you guys think that what comes out of your radio or television set is "liberal propaganda," then you're not just to the far right yourselves, you're in danger of coming full circle! Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet.... From: Susu's Hubby Date: 16 Mar 05 - 06:11 PM Don, Sorry to break this to you but the little bit of right of center news that makes it to the forefront is not near enough to balance the enormous amount of news that comes out with the left of center slant. Let's not forget.....and I know that I'll be rocked for this...but the most balanced news that I can find on TV is, honestly, the Fox News Channel. Now before you roll your eyes...I'm talking about the actual news reports on the top and bottom of each hour, not the opinion shows that run during the rest of the day. Let's make sure that the distinction is made. Hubby |

Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet.... From: Bobert Date: 16 Mar 05 - 06:36 PM See what I mean Don? These two guys are so utterly brainwashed that they can no longer distinguish news from entertainment... Maybe Hubby would like to give a few examples of the "liberal media" that he has observed over the last week or two... I'm really beginning to wonder just how they define "liberal media" as well... Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet.... From: Don Firth Date: 17 Mar 05 - 01:14 PM Right, Bobert. Futile. All you need to do is report the facts. If the facts reflect poorly on Bush and his policies (as they often do), in the minds of some, that automatically makes the report "liberally biased." Truth be damned! It was the late Senator, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, I believe, who said, "You have a right to your own opinions. But you don't have a right to your own facts." Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet.... From: DougR Date: 18 Mar 05 - 12:27 AM Ever consider the fact, Don and Bobert, that your two may be so brainwashed that you don't recognize reality? Nope, didn't think so. DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet.... From: Little Hawk Date: 18 Mar 05 - 12:54 AM How is it that 2 diametrically opposed groups of people in the USA can BOTH think that most of the same media in their one country has sold out to the other side? It's baffling and hilarious. (I begin to wonder if it's just a ploy to make the public feel disempowered or make them hate each other or something?) The same things are occasionally said by grumpy people in Canada too, but not nearly as much. The general scene in Canada is...well, let's say Toronto...is: The Globe and Mail is sort of centrist, vaguely old-time conservative in some respects, but not neoconservative. The Toronto Star is definitely liberal, but not radical at all. The Toronto Sun is Ultra-conservative and bizarre. They ARE radical. They seem to hate being in this country at all. The National Post is center-conservative, a little neo-conservative at times. In other words, 3 of them are kind of middle-of-the-road with some bias, and one of them ought to relocate to Dallas ASAP where they could feel happy! :-) As for Canadian TV, it could almost all be seen as fairly liberal in American terms, I'd say. Radio? All over the place, depending who you listen to. For a real good, gut-wrenching conservative viewpoint listen to Don Cherry. He talks about hockey. |

Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet.... From: Bobert Date: 18 Mar 05 - 09:57 PM Yo, Dougie... Book you a flight to D.C. and I'll pick yer Bushite butt up at the airport and take you for sa little tour of an America that you know nothin' about... After you see it once you won't need a refresher course... And you'll know forever more that your hero, Bush, is a mirage... He doesn't have a clue about America or what it takes to be an American... I'm beginning to wonder about you, as well... Yeah, you can wish that every American had the same chance to suceed and had a right to happiness but then there's the real world... I know about the real world and would very much love to share it with you, Dougie... I know you have a good heart... Just bad information... Yeah, book the flight. I'll put you and Mrs. Dougie up in our guest room and take you, and the Mrs. if you like, on a tour of an America that you know *absolutely* nothing about. If you did, you wouldn't say some of the stuff you say here... Guarenteed... Bobert |
