The Ugly New McCain

Of course, all three of you are a little biased, too, in your own ways ... those are usually the quickest to squawk about bias.
Anybody who cannot admit the heavy media bias in favor of Obama in this campaign who believes that they are not as biased as the next guy needs to get a second opinion.:lol:

I'm not claiming there isn't a bias. I've seen it on both sides in recent months. I choose not to incessantly harp on it and whine about it time after time after time ...

 

Again, those that regularly look for bias always manage to find it.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

That deserves a high five ... or an Obama-esque fist bump. ;)

 

Don't you mean a "terrorist fist-jab"? :lol:

That, too ...

I don't think Mark Penn went looking for bias against McCain and Palin, do you? :lol:

Mark Penn is looking for pro-Obama bias, maybe even has a vested interest in it ... gee, I wonder why?

Everybody else is wrong about media bias in favor of Obama. Ed Rendell, Mark Penn, the public editor at the Washington Post, ...interesting perspective.

 

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews were just removed from the anchor desk because they were embarrassing the folks writing their checks. Am I wrong?

You're putting words in my mouth ...

Like I've said, I've seen bias on both sides. You act as if it doesn't exist anywhere except the pro-Obama side.

...and you act as if it exists in equal measure...it clearly does not.

Well, you're entitled to your bias and your opinion.

 

I'm not into measuring and quantifying it. Heck, I basically choose to disregard it. Some people, however, have a vested interest in stoking it every chance they get.

Liberals tend to dismiss media bias for good reason. I guess it all depends on whose ox is being gored.

Much like the right has an interest in exaggerating media bias and stoking it at every opportunity. It sells, and it's easy for either side to blame their candidates' shortcomings and questionable dealings on media bias.

With a major network assigning hacks like Olbermann and Matthews to anchor its coverage of the Republican convention, no exaggeration is necessary. :lol:

 

It is amazing to watch people claiming that media bias is not a big issue when more than 80 percent of those covering national news have admitted to voting for Democratic presidential candidates in the last several elections. I will be shocked if that percentage does not go even higher in November.

Olbermann, I grant you, but you constantly overstate Matthews' alleged partisanship.

Journalists are trained and paid to be objective in their reporting and separate their personal views from their professional conduct. If you feel it's not being done, you're insulting their professional ethics.

 

Do it if you want ... you're entitled to your opinion.

:lol: Sure. I cannot turn the channel on the TV without seeing the media repeating some smear from a right wing blog. :rolleyes:

 

CNN dispatched a team of reporters to Alaska based on an unfounded smear by the Daily Kos. Where are those big well financed right wing equivalents of the Daily Kos, MoveOn.org, Media Matters, the Democratic Underground, and the Huffington Post. You know, the sites that just make stuff up that get picked up and repeated by the mainstream media?

 

 

The McCain campaign fits these criteria quite acurately! :laugh:
