    Media biased? See Joe Scarborough MSNBC altered tape of Romney that played last week and Joe's baby rant afterward that he is allowed to alter tapes to smear Romney.

    Media Bias. Their lucky the press hasn't labeled republicans for what they really are.

    I like the NYT take on it: "So what if we are biased, Republicans can listen to the radio to get news."

    Haha CD75 crying about Joe Scarborough. Lol. The man is an unabashed conservative. He's one of the few Republicans who doesn't make the party look like a group of neanderthals. But he doesn't believe that Obama was born in Kenya or Obama's "destroying America" or Obama is a "socialist". That makes him a RINO in the eyes of Goober Nation. More and more, Republicans only want to hear from the Limbaughs, Hannitys, Krauthammers and Becks, which is why the party is becoming more and more irrelevant. MSNBC has become too much like Fox News for me. But atleast they give a guy like Scarborough his own show in the morning. Who does Fox have to represent liberals??

    We had an al-Qaida attack on 9/11 that killed 4 Americans and that week the media said Romney had a worse week than Obama. You'll never be able to run from that fact.

    There are mountains more evidence for media bias (favoring the left) than there is for man-made global warming. Don't be a bias denier.

    PWSC - You're a broken record. Romney definitely had a worse week than Obama. First he made a statement in the immediate aftermath of the attack which was widely criticized by Republicans. He then backed off of the statement. Then he insults almost half of America with his 47% comments. His philosophy for the Palestinian/Israeli quandary is "kick the can down the road". That's a bad week.

    You know its bad when the media actually ran some stories a couple weeks back about how Preezy Obama was actually being asked some "tough questions" for once (by Univision). Speaking of Univision, they just ran a great expose of Fast & Furious. Yeah, for some reason they seem to be a bit upset about AG Holder & the Community Organizer arranging for the murder of hundreds of Mexicans. A story completely embargoed by this newspaper and the rest of our pathetic sycophant media.

    Losers blame the media. That's Romney-Ryan, already making excuses. If the right-wing apologists on this site applied the same logic to sports that they accept in politics, they'd want Michael Vick to blame the media for noticing his turnovers.

    The New York Times has become the Newspaper of Record for the 31% of Americans who self identify as Democrats.

    One story the media doesn't seem to embargo is the incessant whining by the right about liberal bias. It's become a cliche, inneffective to inspire any interest or sympathy.

    Start talking about the al-quaida attack and put Obama under some scrutiny instead of making him a shallow rock star and maybe people will stop "complaining". Only in an Obama fan's mind is pointing out the facts considered complaining.

    The only reason why, with an economy this bad, Romney can be trailing the incumbent. Works to the advantage of the Dems. Maybe it's all part of the conspiracy. Let Repubs think that Hannity et al. are on their side and watch any non-extremist move away from the party.

    Fess up fellow travelers, we’ve been exposed! This may be a set back to the International Communist conspiracy, but no more than that, comrades. I have in my hand a list of 57 people on the board of directors of General Electric, alone, and …
    Now, wouldn’t you right wing geniuses love to know how we duped and controlled the media arms of these giant corporations?

    You have to turn to the UK papers to find any stories damaging to Barry and his brain damaged VP. The American media is in full on protection mode for these failed idiots. 23 million unemployed, 6 trillion in debt racked up in 3 years, complete radio silence on Afghan troop deaths, UN Ambassador sent out to lie to the American people about Benghazi, and why isn't Her Thighness Hillary asked any hard questions about Benghazi - she is totally MIA. MUST. PROTECT. HILLARY. 2016. NOMINEE. At this rate, the inquirer will be headquartered out of a steam grate in another couple years.

    Wokmaster: Fox has all kinds of libs on there: Bob Beckel, Juan Williams, Kirsten Powers, Geraldo Rivera...obviously you never watch. And Scarborough is a Republican, not a conservative. Conservatives are not permitted on MSNBC. Ask Pat Buchanan if you doubt. The media is carrying water for the President. They are now being exposed.

    I have coined a new term to describe the Obama campaign, I think it captures the spirit and operations of the campaign exactly, and I don't think this term has ever been used before in any published work:
    The Obama campaign is a collection of "High-Def Hucksters".

    What do you all think?

    Complain about a liberal media, but on the sunday morning news shows yesterday it was Chris Christie on all three network channels with CBS having both Newt and Christie. Only Meet the Press had a democrat on to respond to Christie's comments. my vote- I don't care because Obama's gonna win and chris christie talking is not going to change that.

    With the ratings competition between NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN etc., you would think that one could get a leg up by exposing the other's biases. It doesn't happen, though. I guess ideology is thicker than ratings.

    Most media is based in Urban environments. When media is based from the NASCAR circuit we will return to the Wild, wild west of a John Wayne movie.

    Rural America loved (LOVED) socialist Roosevelt Democrats until July 2, 1964.

    Today Republicans promote the news of "Every Man For Himself".
    Today Democrats promote the news of nation building.

    Wusses and cowards and a real threat not to the rich, but to the middle class workers that you pretend to support. And further, my journalism teachers in college told me that media reporting should be unbiased and objective or its not news at all - it's merely opinion. That's why your newspapers are going down the tubes - people detect and dismiss liberal BS and go elsewhere for thier news and the liberals - sans the elite - don't read newspapers anyway.

    The Media is liberal.

    Obama's main donors
    1. University of California -- $703,781
    2. Microsoft -- $544,445
    3. Google Inc -- $526,009
    4. Harvard University -- $431,860
    5. U.S. Government -- $396,550

    Somehow the 1% are not mentioned.
    Google and MS wants more govt contracts.
    Govt employees want to keep their show / no work positions.
    Harvard and UofC are looking for more money to research how bad things are.

    Somehow the media and Harvard miss the point, we do not need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Major compliants on Bush were he spends to much, Obama has spent in 4 years what Bush did in 8. Bush the war, more troops deployed until last month, now standing the Bush high total count. The War itself, the UN condems our usage of drones. Bush tax cuts, but Obama keeps extending them, cause they keep money in peoples pocket to spend and expand the economy. This could go on and on.

    MSL: banks are the largest donors to Romey. Banks did great for the last 4 years, telling us what? If bank X almost went extinct under Bush, but made Billions under Obama, why change and go to Mitt?

    Why is Univision doing the job of the US media? I would think libs would care about poor Mexican kids being killed with guns provided by the US economy. Amazing that not even that can stop the Barry love fest.
